ZIM vs NZ Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 6th Match, Zimbabwe Tri Series 2025.

Match Preview

New Zealand will look to extend its unbeaten run in the ongoing Tri-series in Zimbabwe as it plays its last group-stage match before the finals on Saturday. The team has enjoyed an excellent run in the shortest format, winning 7 of their last 8 matches. Despite resting some of the senior players, the squad has done an excellent job so far.

Zimbabwe hasn’t been in the best of form and has already been eliminated from the series. It will now look for a consolation win here and to also gain some confidence ahead of its Test series against New Zealand. While the team does have some experienced players, they will need to perform better as a unit.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

We are expecting a balanced surface for this match. The pitch is a bit tricky with a mix of dry and green patches, providing assistance to the seamers as well as the spinners. The batsmen need to be careful while selecting their shots and will have to wait for the right deliveries to score boundaries.

The weather is expected to remain pleasant with temperatures under 20 degrees and clear skies.

ZIM vs NZ Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

Devon Conway and Tim Seifert have both played well, and we are selecting both of them for our team.

Batters

Brian Bennett has been Zimbabwe’s best batsman and is the top choice here. We are also going with Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell.

All Rounders

Mitchell Santner is among the best all-rounders in the series and is the obvious choice. We are also bringing in Sikandar Raza and Ryan Burl.

Bowlers

Since all three all-rounders we have selected are spinners, we have opted for three seamers here: Jacob Duffy, Richard Ngarava, and Adam Milne.

ZIM vs NZ Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Mitchell Santner is one of the best all-rounders in the T20 format as of now and has done a decent job with the bat and the ball so far. We are therefore selecting him as the captain of our team.

Vice-Captain

Brian Bennett has batted consistently well for Zimbabwe in this series. He has plenty of experience playing at this venue and could yet again play an important knock.
