There was a lot of hype surrounding the much-awaited Test series and boy did the players deliver in the Sixer Market! It was the Indian captain, Virat Kohli who got the ball rolling with a steady fifty and a match score of 60.62 to show for his efforts on Day 1. He was ably supported by Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane, both of whom saw their prices go up marginally. The Aussie bowlers were right on the money from ball one with Mitchell Starc, who got the better of Prithvi Shaw in his first over. However, it was Pat Cummins, who starred with the ball with a match score of 48.68. Considering that there is still more than one innings left for him to star with the ball, there is certainly some room for an increment in the Real Market! Placed at 233 for 6, India will look to inch past the 300 mark although they will have to be wary of the Aussies! While the Pink Ball Test continues to enthral fantasy shareholders, there's more action coming up with New Zealand hosting Pakistan in the first T20I. Although Kane Williamson isn't available for the first game, the onus will be on the likes of Martin Guptill and Mitchell Santner to deliver the goods against Pakistan's famed bowling attack. However, our focus shifts towards wicketkeeper batsman, Tim Seifert, whose fantasy stocks trade at 37.60 Sixer Coins! The Kiwi is all set to open the batting against Pakistan in this series and would be keen on sealing his place in the side. But the question looms large! Is he worth the bucks in the Real Market? Here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Down by 6.69% in his last four games, can Seifert bounce back against Pakistan?New Zealand comes into this series with a few batting questions to solve. The emergence of Glenn Phillips has made it all the more difficult for the Kiwi team management to choose between him and the regular wicketkeeper, Tim Seifert. Seifert has decent numbers in this format - 492 runs at a strike-rate of nearly 140. The wicketkeeper's ability to take the attack to the pacers holds him in good stead with his gameplay against spinners also improving off late. With Colin Munro also being ousted by the Kiwi team management from the last two T20I assignments, Tim Seifert is presented with a golden opportunity to seal a place at the top of the order. However, it hasn't gone according to plan for the Kiwi off late, both in T20Is and in domestic competitions.Seifert had a poor CPL tournament where he could only breach the 50-match score mark twice in twelve games. Also, Seifert did struggle against spin, which can be attributed to the lack of quality pitches during the tournament. The wicketkeeper struggled in the two T20Is against West Indies as well last month with a match score average of just 42. In fact, he averages a match score of only 46.42, despite boasting of a few 90+ match scores against India earlier this year. Against a solid pace attack comprising of Wahab Riaz and Shaheen Afridi, Seifert will have to be at his best to better his match score average and improve his standing in the Real Market. With his fantasy stocks trading at 37.60 Sixer Coins per Share, Seifert is in prime position to rise up the ladder in the Sixer Market!Pakistan pacers in the spotlight - Shaheen and Wahab trading at 54.70 Sixer Coins and 55.40 Sixer Coins respectively!Seifert and the Kiwis would be eyeing a good outing today at Eden Park, but they are in for a very stern test. Against the West Indies, New Zealand racked up big scores consistently with none of the Caribbean bowlers able to hurry the batsmen with express pace or accuracy. However, Pakistan has two such individuals, who have all the tools to succeed in these conditions in Shaheen Afridi and Wahab Riaz. Wahab Riaz is one of the better bowlers in this format with his ability to nail the yorker being well-known. Similarly, Shaheen Afridi is slowly carving a reputation of being unplayable on his day, something only a select few can boast of in this format. Trading at 54.70 Sixer Coins and 55.40 Sixer Coins respectively, Shaheen and Wahab's stocks certainly have a lot of room for an increase, which should attract a few fantasy shareholders ahead of this series! Are you going to buy any of the two or stick with the likes of Haris Rauf and Martin Guptill? Watch out for new supply at 2:00 PM IST!
