The much-awaited WTC final will hit the floor on June 18 at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton. Cricket fans are just a few days away from witnessing the unprecedented battle between two cricketing giants. The historic WTC Final will witness some high-quality players on either side. While it will be a battle of the equals, the team that wins more key moments is likely to walk away with the ICC Test mace for the Championship. Both the teams will aim to make their best picks in order to give them the optimum chance of winning the WTC Final.
Talking about the preparation ahead of the ultimate showdown, both combatants are in the process of furnishing the final shape. However, New Zealand's recent victory against England has taken the team's confidence sky-high. On the other hand, the Indian team is refining its preparation by playing an Intra-squad match. Further, the pitch and weather conditions might favor Black Caps, but the indomitable Indian team is full of vitality.

Top Fantasy Picks For Ind vs Nz WTC final
In a parallel universe, the Fantasy Cricket world is eagerly waiting for this remarkable clash. Millions of fantasy players are waiting to be a part of the IND vs NZ WTC final. The stake is high, so will be the expectation and the winning opportunity. While drafting a fantasy team, few key players can make an enormous difference. So, big match players will surely make it into the priority list, and few odd players can be the ace up one's sleeve.
Here are the top fantasy players that can help you earn huge rewards in your Dream11 Team for the IND vs NZ WTC Final:
Virat Kohli
Well, he needs no introduction. Virat Kohli has been the essence of Indian cricket for the past few years. His contributions and consistency with the bat are paramount. Moreover, he has performed remarkably well in Southampton. He has been not at his best in red-ball cricket against Kiwis in recent years. Nonetheless, great players like him relish such opportunities where that challenge is immense. Kohli is one of the best fantasy picks in the Dream11 team for the final. He has the ability to score big runs even in conditions that demand patience. Fantasy players can even consider making Kohli the captain for the Dream11 Fantasy team.
Ravichandran Ashwin
Traditionally, England's pitch favors seam bowling, and there is a tremendous uproar that seamers will be the key difference. Meanwhile, Ashwin's latest performance on foreign pitches and improved stats suggest a different story. He has already shown his prowess in Australia. His experience of playing in Southampton on India's previous tour of England in 2018 will help his cause to bowl rather smartly against the BlackCaps. Not only can he pick wickets, but his improved batting in the last few months makes him more than a decent batsman at No.8. Hence, Ashwin will be the optimum pick for a fantasy team without a shred of doubt.
Devon Conway
One of the biggest positives for New Zealand in the Test series against England, Devon Conway, has made a splendid entry in the red-ball cricket. In his debut match, he scored an unbelievable 223 runs at Lord's. Conway showed his brilliance in countering the English seam attack. The Kiwi opener will be riding high on confidence which calls for his automatic selection in the dream11 team for the WTC final. Conway's performance could prove to be a major difference in the context of the match. If not the captain, Conway can be the vice-captain pick in the dream11 fantasy team. Thus, Kiwi's opener Conway will be one of the most resourceful players and can amass maximum fantasy points.
Kyle Jamieson
In the midst of dreadful pacers like Boult and Southee, Kyle Jamieson has made his own league. He will be the most impactful bowler from Kiwi's side. His phenomenal performance in WTC has pushed him to be the top contender in the fantasy team. Jamieson has grabbed 36 wickets in just 11 matches averaging 13.27. He has the best bowling average in WTC, and surely he will be the nightmare for Indian batters. So, don't fail to select this impactful seamer for the showdown. He is going to earn maximum points in the contest.
