ZIM vs NED Dream11 team tips for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B final
Top Tip: Best batter
Zimbabwe’s Sean Williams has been one of the in-form batters in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier B cricket tournament so far. The 35-year-old middle-order batter has amassed 169 in four matches at a strike rate of 140.83 and an average of 42.25. Sean Williams has accumulated 327 fantasy points and will be a worthy pick at 9.5 credits.

In the bowling department, Netherlands’ Fred Klaassen will be the overwhelming choice. The left-arm seamer has been the leading wicket-taker in the tournament so far, picking nine wickets in four matches at an impressive economy of 6.13. Klaassen will look to add to his fantasy tally of 346 points and will be a quality investment at 9.5 credits.
