T20 World Cup 2021, Warm-Up Match 14: IND vs AUS Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

India will take on Australia in the 14^th warm-up match of the T20 World Cup 2021. India started well with a convincing 7-wicket victory over England in their first warm-up match on Monday. They bowled with proper 5 bowlers and conceded plenty of runs. However, the batters’ dominance overshadowed all the mistakes of the bowlers. Half-centuries from openers Lokesh Rahul and Ishan Kishan steered them home.

Australia, on the other hand, won a nail-biting contest against New Zealand in their opening encounter by 3 wickets in the final over of the match. Glenn Maxwell, who is in sublime form with the bat was rested for the previous match and his inclusion will make Australia even more powerful. Both sides will look to rotate the players in this match.

Top Picks for IND vs AUS Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Rohit Sharma, who was rested in the last warm-up game against England, is likely to feature in this match. He is a great timer of the ball, and it will be interesting in what position he will play in this game.

David Warner was pretty unlucky in the last match against New Zealand as he was dismissed by a stunning one-handed catch from Martin Guptill.  The 34-year-old batter is really hungry for runs and we can expect him to do well in this match.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

We didn’t see Ravindra Jadeja on the field as well against England the other day. He is a tremendous all-rounder, and is likely to feature in this match.

Ashton Agar was excellent with both bat and ball in the last warm-up against New Zealand. He picked up a wicket, and later on, scored 23 runs from 18 deliveries.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Varun Chakravarthy might get a chance in this match, since he was rested in the last game against England. Not many batters in the world have picked his variations properly and he will be a good budget pick for your fantasy teams.

Australian vice-captain, Pat Cummins didn’t feature in the last match against New Zealand. He is a top-class bowler and can cause damage with his raw pace.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Rishabh Pant finished the game for India against England. He batted fearlessly and scored 29* runs from 14 deliveries.

IND vs AUS Must Picks for Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for IND vs AUS Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Rishabh Pant, David Warner, Steve Smith (vc), Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma (c), Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Agar, Ravindra Jadeja, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Varun Chakravarthy

Suggested Playing XI No.2 for IND vs AUS Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:

Ishan Kishan, David Warner (c), Marcus Stoinis, Lokesh Rahul (vc), Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Ravindra Jadeja, Pat Cummins, Adam Zampa, Mohammed Shami

IND vs AUS Risky Captaincy Choices:

Even though Mohammed Shami went for 10 runs an over, he picked up 3 wickets against England. He is known for taking big wickets at crucial intervals. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Mitchell Marsh will bat at number 3 in this T20 World Cup. He has been given the license to play freely, and he did the same against New Zealand, where scored 24 runs from 15 deliveries.

Player you should avoid:

Rahul Chahar has been given the opportunity in the last match against England, The chances of him playing in this match is less, and hence, it’s better to avoid him while making your fantasy teams.
