Fantasy Picks
Captain: H Pandya
H Pandya’s short ball bowling may help him to yield more wickets than Netherlands batters. And at the same time, Hardik will find the Netherlands bowlers a little easy at the death overs. So he is picked for both batting and bowling.
Vice-captain: V Kohli
Kohli touched his old version in the last game. And his old version is known for extreme consistency. Let’s not gamble by avoiding him in our team.
Wicket Keeper: S Edwards
Against a bowling line-up like India, S Edwards’ batting slot will be crucial. He will get a huge chance to bat for a long time.
Batters: KL Rahul, V Kohli, S Yadav
KL and SKY are in terrific touch but failed to perform in the last game. Surely they will put up a grand show with the willow.
All-rounders: H Pandya, B Leede
B Leede’s role in the Netherlands is huge. He will yield valuable points if he does 50 per cent of it.
Bowlers: M Shami, B Kumar, A Singh, F Klaasen, P Meekeran
The fast bowlers of both teams will have an equal amount of chance to propel in the conditions best suited for fast bowling. All five bowlers here are new ball bowlers who will make the most out of it. If not, their death overs will grab wickets.
