ICC World Cup 2019: Match 6, England vs Pakistan – Dream11 Fantasy Team based on Stats

It could be an eye feast for cricket lovers as the same track that produced a record 481 runs last year will be used for the game between England and Pakistan. So far in the tournament, there haven’t been many big totals that were posted. Hence, this game could bring about a sigh of relief for the fans. The hosts head into this game as the favourites.

They started the tournament with a 104-run victory and will look to carry the momentum forward. On the flip side of the coin, this is a crucial game for Pakistan. They brought out a miserable performance against the Windies and had to face the backlash of the fans as well as the former cricketers. This encounter will be a much bigger test for them and it won’t be easy to come out triumphs. Sarfaraz Ahmed and his men need to bring out their best game if they are to get anywhere close to a victory.

Here we bring you the Dream11 Fantasy team based on the stats of the players:

Wicketkeepers:

The three wicket-keeper options that you can pick for this match have all got great stats in the last five ODIs. All of them have scored their runs at a great strike rate and it is tough to differentiate and single one or two players out. Thus, it would be a great choice if you can pick all three of them. With Sarfaraz Ahmed expected to promote himself up the order, he will have an opportunity to play a long inning.

Batsmen:

As per the Dream11 guidelines, since you already picked three wicket-keepers, you can choose either three batsmen and two all-rounders or four batsmen and one all-rounder. Going by the statistics of players, picking four batsmen would be ideal. Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq are quite obvious picks from the Pakistan team. The former can also be your vice-captain. There are some decisions to make when you pick the English batsmen. Jason Roy, as the captain of the team, is a no-brainer. You can choose between Joe Root and Eoin Morgan. Considering his average and strike rate, we’ve decided to go ahead with the England skipper.

All-Rounders:

There are quite a few options you’ve got in the all-rounders’ category. But since you are restricted to picking only one, you could place your bets on Ben Stokes. In the last five ODIs, he’s done better than anyone else with the bat. The two wickets that he picked only came in the last game but he seems a confident individual at the moment and is the best of the lot.

Bowlers:

To maintain the uniformity and balance of your side, two Pakistan bowlers should be picked. Since this is expected to be a high-scoring game, the bowlers will have very little in their favour and hence sticking to just three of them is a good option. From Pakistan, Hasan Ali and Mohammad Amir should be your picks. These two are expected to make it into the final eleven and thus are the first-choice selections. From England, you can opt for Liam Plunkett.
