Quick Match Preview
Momentum: WI bring the hotter form (4 wins in last 5). NZ have struggled (4 losses in last 5) but tend to lift at Eden Park.
Recent H2H snippets: Mixed—edge to WI lately, but NZ’s key all-rounders (Santner, Neesham) and new-ball pair (Duffy/Jamieson) keep them in it.
Toss factor: Eden Park favors chasing (teams choose to chase ~60%; wins while chasing ~70%). Expect the captain winning the toss to bowl first.
Win Probability (pre-toss)
Team | Win % |
|---|---|
West Indies | 54% |
New Zealand | 46% |
Rationale: WI’s superior current form and multiple in-form all-rounders (Holder, Chase, Shepherd) slightly outweigh NZ’s venue familiarity.
Pitch & Venue Analysis – Eden Park
Type: Balanced but pace-friendly.
Avg 1st inns score: 147
Avg wickets/inning: ~6
Boundary sizes: ~65m square, 55m straight → mis-hits can travel; finishers thrive.
Bowling vs Batting FP split: BOWL ~50.3% vs BAT ~49.7% (balanced overall)
Pace vs Spin (Fantasy Points trend): Pacers > Spinners (notably stronger in 1st inns).
Toss trends: Chase preferred (60%) and more wins while chasing (70%).
Fantasy takeaway for this venue
Prioritize pace bowlers who bowl PP + death.
Stack finishers who bat in overs 14–20; short straight boundaries reward clean hitters.
If NZ bat first, their lefties (Conway/Ravindra/Santner) vs WI right-arm pace could be key; if WI chase, Powell/Shepherd/Holder finishing power spikes.

Eden Park Fantasy Lens (sample size at venue)
Frequent C/VC here: Roston Chase, Mitchell Santner, Mark Chapman (have featured as C/VC previously).
Top venue performers (avg FP): Santner (78 in 3), Chapman (59 in 4), Duffy (41 in 3).
Powerplay & Death Overs Impact
Powerplay (Overs 1–6)
NZ bowlers: Jacob Duffy, Kyle Jamieson, Zachary Foulkes – hit-the-deck seamers; wicket threat on a pace-helping deck.
WI bowlers: Akeal Hosein (can take new ball vs right-handers), Jayden Seales, Matthew Forde – seam movement + LBW/bowled modes in play.
Bats to watch:
NZ: Devon Conway (anchor), Tim Robinson (aggression = ceiling points).
WI: Brandon King (starts quick), Shai Hope (anchor who converts).
Middle & Death (Overs 7–20)
Death bowlers (points gold):
WI: Romario Shepherd, Jason Holder – both bowl 18–20 and swing the bat late.
NZ: James Neesham, Kyle Jamieson/Jacob Duffy – wickets + economy bonus chances.
Finishers with bat: Rovman Powell, Shepherd, Holder; for NZ Neesham, Ravindra (if held back), Mitchell.
H2H & Consistency Nuggets
Perfect Lineup frequency (recent sample):
WI: Holder (9), Hosein (6), Shepherd (5), Chase (4)
NZ: Duffy (6), Santner (5), Neesham (3), Conway (6)
Differential trend: Jayden Seales and Jacob Duffy show high recent bowling averages but lower selection %—GL upside.
MVP Picks (Safe)
Jason Holder (WI, AR): Wickets across phases + late hitting = multi-stat security.
Mitchell Santner (NZ, AR): Role flexibility; adds catches and economy.
James Neesham (NZ, AR): Death overs + finisher role; ceiling proven.
Differential Picks (High Upside)
Romario Shepherd (WI, AR): Death-over wicket clusters + six-hitting.
Jayden Seales (WI, BOW): New-ball strike threat; formy.
Tim Robinson (NZ, BAT): Boom-or-bust top-order with massive ceiling at short boundaries.
Jacob Duffy (NZ, BOW): Venue record decent; PP wickets bring 3x bonus potential.
Suggested Dream11 Combination (Pre-toss)
WK (1): Shai Hope (safe) / Devon Conway (alt if NZ chase)
BAT (3–4): Tim Robinson, Rovman Powell, Alick Athanaze (form), Mark Chapman (venue record)
AR (3): Jason Holder (C), James Neesham (VC), Mitchell Santner
BOW (3–4): Jayden Seales, Jacob Duffy, Akeal Hosein, Kyle Jamieson (alt GL)
XI Example (Safe/Hybrid):
Hope (WK), Robinson, Powell, Athanaze, Holder (C), Neesham (VC), Santner, Hosein, Seales, Duffy, Jamieson
Bench/GL swaps: Conway ↔ Athanaze/Robinson (if NZ chase), Shepherd ↔ Jamieson (GL), Chapman ↔ Athanaze (venue punt).
Conditional Strategy (Adjust at Toss)
If WI bowl first: Load Seales/Hosein/Holder, keep Neesham; consider Conway if NZ chase later (2nd inns anchor).
If NZ bowl first: Prioritize Duffy/Jamieson + Santner; from WI batting, Powell/Shepherd for death hitting while chasing.
Batting first at Eden Park: Target top-order anchors (Hope/Conway) + one enforcer (Robinson/Powell).
Chasing at Eden Park: Heavier on finishers (Holder/Shepherd/Neesham) and death bowlers.
Final Tips
Pace bias: Carry 3–4 pacers; one spinner (Santner or Hosein) for control + match-up.
All-rounders are king: Holder/Neesham/Santner/Shepherd give multi-path scoring—prioritize two as C/VC pool.
Monitor XIs: If A. Jangoo starts at WK for WI, he’s a value punt; otherwise Hope is safer.
GL Edge: Pair Seales + Duffy for PP wicket clusters; add Robinson for ceiling.
