NZ vs AUS Dream11 Team Top Players Stats
David Warner: This man has absolutely a tremendous T20 career. He has scored 3076 runs in 102 matches. Having strike rates of 142.52 and 33.7 on average, he has 1 T20I century and 26 fifties on his name. He is recently in a retirement mood but still strong enough to bash opponents’ bowlers.

Rachin Ravindra: A young blood who is consistently scoring in all formats. He is yet to deliver a good performance in T20I as he has just played 19 matches and has 146 runs on his name. His T20I highest score is just 26 but we are considering him as he is consistent for his duty. He has also claimed 11 wickets in his 19 matches.
Finn Allen: This player is so destructive that when he is set no bowler is going to distract him from hitting boundaries. 40 matches he has played in T20I till now and scored 1055 runs. 137 is his highest score in t20.
