Dream11 match top picks
Top Wicketkeeper Pick
In this format, Shamima Sultana has a respectable record, scoring 655 runs in 49 matches. Despite Sultana’s low average of 14.23, she has two fifties to her name and is capable of scoring big runs.
Top Batter Pick
With 2966 runs scored over 117 matches at an average of 29.36, Sophie Devine has a track record of success in this format. Devine is known for her big-hitting skills and is equally effective at the top of the order and in the middle order, despite only scoring 16 runs in two matches. She is a top pick for your NZ-W vs. BD-W Dream11 prediction team because Devine is expected to score a lot.
Top All-rounder Pick
Amelia Kerr has performed admirably with the bat, taking three wickets in two tournament matches. Even though she bats at an average of 14.67, her batting skills could use some work. Kerr is a must-have member of your NZ-W vs. BD-W Dream11 prediction team because she can win games with both the bat and the ball.
Top Bowler Pick
Bangladesh’s best bowler has been Marufa Akter, who has taken four wickets in two matches at an average of 10.50. She is capable of competing in the final overs and has impressed particularly with the new ball. She makes a good addition to your NZ-W vs. BD-W Dream11 prediction team because Akter was in excellent form prior to the game.
match captain and vice-captain choices
Because she was unable to get going against the new ball, New Zealand veteran Suzie Bates has not scored a run in the competition. Having played over 100 matches, Bates is one of the best batters in this format. Bates can be backed as a captain’s pick for your NZ-W vs. BD-W Dream11 prediction team because she is known for scoring big runs.
Bangladesh’s best batter is Nigar Sultana, who has scored 85 runs in two matches. She performed admirably against Australia, scoring 57 runs from 50 deliveries. Given her form, Nigar Sultana is a viable captain or vice-captain for your NZ-W vs. BD-W Dream11 prediction team. She is capable of playing both pace and spin well.
