New Zealand is all set to face Scotland with the hope that they will consolidate their position in this group after their win against India. On the other hand, Scotland would fancy setting up plans for a huge upset, which they are capable of. Having said that, whatever the result might be, it remains a good opportunity for fans to get some fantasy points.
Here are the 3 surprise picks for the match between New Zealand vs Scotland:
1. Chris Greaves
Greaves has been very impressive right through this tournament. In many ways, Scotland is right now in this stage because of his performances. He has been good with the bat and the ball providing the right amount of balance to this team. He has scored 84 runs in five matches, including his highest score of 45 while he has also taken four wickets with the ball at an economy of 7.40.
2. Mitchell Santner
The left-arm spinner is almost tailor-made for these conditions in the UAE. He has had an up and down two games so far. Against Pakistan, he was slightly expensive and got a wicket but against India, he was spot on with his lengths. He gave only 15 runs in his four overs and didn’t get a wicket. But, those numbers will change surely against Scotland, as he is too good a bowler to not take wickets in consecutive games. On top of that, he is likely to bat at no. 7, which gives him a better chance to get some runs as well.
3. Tim Southee
Despite his experience and proven success in the shortest format for years, Southee might come off as a slightly expensive bowler, as far as the economy rate goes. However, in this tournament and even before it during the IPL 2021 second leg in the UAE, Southee showed his expertise with the ball. He has adjusted well to the conditions and got a wicket each in the two games so far. He also had a good time bowling against the Scots during the 2015 World Cup, if that is something of a consideration. However, he is someone who guarantees you some fantasy points.
