New Zealand and the Netherlands will face off in the third game of the three-game ODI series on Monday, April 4. Seddon Park in Hamilton will host the meeting.
The Black Caps, led by Tom Latham, have already sealed the series’ fate, having taken an unassailable 2-0 lead. The Kiwis found themselves in a bit of a row in Game 2 but made a tremendous comeback after Tom Latham netted a century.
The Dutch team, led by Pieter Seelaar, had their moments in the series. But they didn’t quite seize the opportunities presented to them. They will now be looking to avoid a cleanout and earn points in the Super League points table.
On that note, here’s a look at three players you can choose to captain or vice-captain your Dream11 squad for the third ODI between New Zealand and the Netherlands.
Martin Guptill hasn’t had the best moments in the ongoing ODI series. Having scored just eight points in two games, the veteran seemed a far cry from his brutality. But the 35-year-old is someone who doesn’t stay out of form for long.
The third ODI may just be the game where it finds its form. Guptill also falls short by 65 points to score 7,000 points in the 50+ format at the highest level.
#2Kyle Jamieson
Kyle Jamieson has performed beautifully in the ongoing ODI series. He is the highest wicket taker in the series along with Blair Tickner and Logan van Beek.
In the first game, the tall and lanky point guard picked up three wickets for 45 runs. Jamieson was also impressive in the second game, having taken two crucial wickets.
Don’t forget that he can also get useful runs lower in the order.
#1Logan van Beek
Logan van Beek was among the few bright spots in a rather disappointing campaign for the Netherlands in the ODIs. In the first game, the right-arm pacer picked up just one wicket, but he put his best foot forward in the second game on April 2.
Van Beek picked up a four-wicket and made early inroads into the New Zealand batting unit. He can also score useful points lower in order.
