IM vs AUT Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Injury Updates & Pitch Report For 1st T20I

The opening T20I game of Austria's tour of the Isle of Man in 2023 is going to take place at King William's College on July 9. Currently, the Isle of Man are in the 46th place in the ICC rankings, while Austria are in the 43rd place in the ICC rankings. Though the difference is less ranking-wise, Austria are way ahead of Isle of Man in all aspects of the game and current form.

In a recent series against Spain, The Isle of Man was whitewashed, losing all five Twenty20 matches - fortunately, one was called off due to weather. It's interesting to note that during the series, they had four opportunities to bat first and recorded totals under 140. In fact, they lost all ten of their wickets for just ten runs in their most recent game. What was more concerning was that their bowlers had barely registered their presence on the same surface where their batters had repeatedly been hustled out. Added to that, they allowed the opponent to chase well behind the closing overs with enough overs to spare. They may have determined a new strategy before heading into the series.

When compared to the Isle of Man, Austria, on the other side, possesses a solid batting order as well as a highly effective bowling attack. Iqbal Hossain has been striking the ball well lately, reaching a few fifties in recent matches. They are the favourites going into this T20I series, as their recent losses came after a respectable fight.
