Topmost Picks for IND vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Rohit Sharma- the skipper took the attack to the South African bowling attack hitting 40 runs from 24 balls including eight boundaries. He set the tone in the match and will look to do the same in this game.
• Mohammed Shami- the right arm fast bowler dismissed the dangerous Rassie van der Dussen and in-form Aiden Markram against South Africa and continues to bowl with remarkable accuracy.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Rachin Ravindra – The young left-handed batting all-rounder has been exceptional during the last few weeks and comes into this semi-final with a batting average of 70.62 alongside a strike-rate of 108.44 in this competition.
• Trent Boult – The opening swing bowler took the Player of the Match Award on Thursday after dismissing Kusal Mendis, Sadeera Samarawickrama and Charith Asalanka as well as bowling three maidens.
