What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for ENG vs NZ, 2nd ODI?
Top Pick – Batter
Dawid Malan was in total control in the 1st ODI where he deposited the juicy over-pitch deliveries to the fence at the start of the innings. Including 9 fours, he made 54 runs at a strike rate of 101.88.
Top Pick – All-Rounder
Daryl Mitchell looks like an ideal candidate to bat at the No.4 spot for New Zealand in the 50-over format. He walked in when New Zealand were 117 for 2 in the 1st ODI and went on to score an unbeaten 118* runs.
Top Pick – Bowler
Tim Southee is a clever bowler and quickly adapts himself to the conditions. He removed well-set Jos Buttler and Liam Livingstone in the 1st ODI.
Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler didn’t get the perfect present on his 33rd birthday as England lost the 1st ODI convincingly however he batted with ease, making 72 runs in just 68 balls which included 5 fours and 2 sixes.
X-Factor:
Devon Conway who flopped entirely in the T20I series showed his pure class in the 1st ODI where he brought up his 4th ODI century and remained unbeaten on 111*.
What are the fantasy suggested teams for ENG vs NZ, 2nd ODI?
1. Jos Buttler (vc), Tom Latham (c), Devon Conway, Joe Root, Dawid Malan, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Tim Southee, David Willey
2. Jos Buttler, Tom Latham, Devon Conway, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Dawid Malan (c), Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell (vc), Rachin Ravindra, David Willey, Lockie Ferguson

Pre-Match Analysis:
On a wicket that was assisting the batters more, England didn’t get as many runs as they wanted at the late end of the innings and settled for 291 runs on the board in the 1st ODI. The wicket got better in the latter half and their bowlers struggled entirely as they were unable to break the partnership between Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell which led to an 8-wicket loss. Harry Brook who opened the innings in place of Jonny Bairstow, scored 41 ball 25 runs. Their premier players Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, and Liam Livingstone all batted well, scripting half-centuries each. Skipper Buttler tried all possible ways to get the breakthroughs by rotating the bowlers however it didn’t click. Their lead spinner Adil Rashid was taken for the cleaners which is very rare in this format. They are expected to make subtle changes to their playing eleven for this match.
New Zealand who made a stunning comeback to level the preceding T20I series 2-2 extended their form into the ODIs with an incredible 8 wickets win. Rachin Ravindra who played ahead of Mitchell Santner starred with the ball, picking up 3 wickets. It was unbeaten centuries from Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell got them a 1-0 lead as they safely reached home well in advance with 26 balls still left. Their bowlers got their tactics right at the death overs, by taking the pace of the ball and saved at least 20 runs. Trent Boult who got back into the squad didn’t start in the 1st ODI and we can expect his appearance in the coming matches. They become unstoppable when their batters start performing well.
