Grand League Punts
> Trent Boult has taken 27 wickets in 14 appearances against England and has taken at least 2 wickets in an innings 10/14 times. Moreover, he’s dismissed England’s Top 4 a combined 13 times in ODIs, dismissing all of Bairstow (4), Root (5) and Stokes (3) at least thrice. It'd be wise to skipper him, especially at a pace-friendly track like Ahmedabad.
> Dawid Malan has three hundreds and a 96 in his last 7 ODI knocks and is in the form of his life in the 50-over format. On a track like Ahmedabad that is expected to play out pretty true, he'd be a pretty shrewd choice for vice-captain, on current form.
Probable XIs
England: Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes / Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c & wk), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali/Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, Reece Topley
New Zealand: Will Young, Devon Conway (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Tom Latham (capt), Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Trent Boult, Lockie Ferguson
