The two sides will clash off at the Phillip Oval in Canberra in a day fixture. Later this week, they will be part of a Triangular T20I series involving Australia and India.

Weather Condition/Report:

The weather is expected to stay clear on Monday during the game between ACT XI and England at the Phillip Oval.

Pitch Condition/Report:

Top Picks:

Danni Wyatt has a brilliant record in the T20 format across the last 3-4 years. Her record on Australian soil is much better and has got a good experience of playing in Australia.

Erin Osborne can consider as the best player of ACT XI in terms of impact in the fantasy team. She is likely to bat inside top-five and also complete her four overs.
