NZ vs PNG Dream11 prediction: 3 players you can pick as captain or vice-captain for today’s 2024 T20 World Cup match – June 17, 2024  

New Zealand (NZ) and Papua New Guinea (PNG) will be up against each other in a Group C match of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 on Monday, June 17. The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, will host the encounter.

The Black Caps have had a disappointing campaign, having already been knocked out of the competition. PNG, on the other hand, have been impressive in patches, but have not been consistent enough.

On that note, here are three players whom you can pick as captain or vice-captain for your Dream11 team for the NZ vs PNG game:

---

#3 Trent Boult (NZ) – 9 credits

Trent Boult has arguably been the standout bowler for New Zealand in the ongoing tournament. The left-arm fast bowler has taken seven wickets from three games at an economy rate of 3.75.

If he finds his rhythm, it will be extremely tough for the PNG batters to negate him. Boult should be a part of the NZ vs PNG Dream11 teams for the upcoming contest.

#2 Tim Southee (NZ) – 8 credits

Tim Southee has been stupendous for the Black Caps in the T20 World Cup 2024. In two matches, the veteran pacer, who is also the leading wicket-taker in T20Is, has taken five wickets at an economy rate of 3.12. He also won the Player of the Match award against Uganda after accounting for three wickets.

Southee should not be left out of the NZ vs PNG Dream11 teams.

#1 Lockie Ferguson (NZ) – 8 credits

Lockie Ferguson has also been effective for the Black Caps in the championship. The speedster has taken four wickets from three games at an economy rate of 5.33 with best figures of 2/27.

Ferguson can rattle the best of batters with his raw pace and can cause trouble to the PNG batters. He should be picked in the NZ vs PNG Dream11 teams for the next match.
