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

Preview:

West Indies will take on England in the second T20I of the series on Monday. West Indies proved that they are always hard to beat at home. With complete bowling dominance, they bowled out England for just 104 runs and then Brandon King’s calculative half-century sealed the game for the hosts. They did the right thing by opting to field first and the bowlers didn’t disappoint their captain. They are leading the series 1-0 and will be hoping to keep the same momentum going in the 2^nd T20I as well.

England, on the other hand, took the West Indies lightly and it backfired, as they lost the first T20I badly by 9 wickets with 17 balls to spare. They lost 4 wickets inside the powerplay, which affected them a lot in setting a huge target. The pressure is on skipper Eoin Morgan who has more things to prove in this series.

Top Picks for WI vs ENG Dream11 Match:

Top Picks ­– Batters

Brandon King looked convincing in the first T20I and played some delightful strokes against the English bowlers. He remained unbeaten on 52 runs and ensured an easy win for West Indies.

Jason Roy got out playing a loose stroke in the first T20I for 6 runs. He likes to take more risks in the powerplay which sometimes doesn’t work for him, but Roy still is a good pick for your fantasy teams.

Top Picks ­– All-Rounders

Jason Holder swung the ball well in the first T20I and picked up 4 wickets by conceding just 7 runs in his 3.4 overs. He was the player of the match for his stellar bowling performances.

Moeen Ali got out for a golden duck in the first T20I. He just needs a start to get himself going, as we all know how dangerous Ali can be in this format of the game.

Top Picks ­– Bowlers

Sheldon Cottrell is known for providing breakthroughs at crucial intervals. He bowled really well in the first T20I and removed big names such as Jason Roy and James Vince.

Adil Rashid bowled a peach of a delivery to get rid of Shai Hope in the first T20I. He returned with the figures of 1 for 21 in his 4 overs.

Top Picks ­– Wicketkeepers

Coming into this series after a successful BBL, Sam Billings didn’t go big in the first T20I of the series as he was dismissed for just 2 runs. He is still a good buy, and you can pick him in your fantasy teams.

WI vs ENG Risky Captaincy Choices:

Kieron Pollard didn’t get the opportunity to bat in the first T20I. We know how good a player he is when he is on song. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.

Eoin Morgan is struggling to score big runs in recent times for England. He managed to score 17 runs in the first T20I at a strike rate of 58.62. You can take a risk and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.

Player you should avoid:

Considering some big names in the bowler’s category, it’s better to avoid Odean Smith while making your fantasy teams.
