IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for 2nd T20I Match

Match Details:

The 2nd of the 5-match T20I series between India and England will be played on 14^th March at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The match is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM IST and local time. It will be streamed live on Star Sports Network, Jio Sports and also can be streamed on Disney+Hotstar.

Preview:

Given the dominance they showed in the Test series against England, it was predicted that India will have it easy in the T20I series as well. However, while their Test squad might be a tad inexperienced, it has to be taken into consideration that England have a very strong team for the shortest format of the game.

Their strength was on full display at Ahmedabad in the first t20I, as they defeated the hosts without breaking much sweat. Jofra Archer and his bowling contingent restricted India to only 124. On what looked like a batting-friendly track, the target was always going to a cakewalk. Jason Roy’s fireworks made the job easy and they are heading into this game with a 1-0 lead. It is time for India to pull up their socks, as if England manage to win this game as well, they will be just one step away from a series win.

IND vs ENG Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match:

Had it not been for Shreyas Iyer’s resilience, India might have suffered a humiliating collapse yesterday. He scored 67 runs, which was more than half of the runs scored by the men in blue.

Another Indian batsman who is in the form of his life is Rishabh Pant, the swashbuckling batsman scored 21 runs in the last T20I. He has scored over 400 runs in just 26 T20I innings.

England’s run chase was without any obstacles, courtesy of a sublime knock by Jason Roy. His 32-ball 49 killed whatever hopes India had of winning the game.

The number 1 ranked T20I batsman in the world, Dawid Malan played a calculated yet crucial knock in the last game. He scored an unbeaten 24 from 20 deliveries.

One bad performance doesn’t define KL Rahul, as he is one of India’s most trusted weapons in the shorter formats of the game. In his T20I career, Rahul has scored over 1500 runs at an average of over 40.
