AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction

AUS vs ENG Match Preview

Marcus Stoinis and David Warner hit a half-century each in Australia's previous match.  They are in form with the bat and well worth getting into your Dream11 team. Warner should be in for a particularly big battle against England pace ace Mark Wood. Stoinis has value to add with the ball as well.

Stoinis is a world-class all-rounder in T20 cricket. He took three wickets against Oman, is full of confidence after hitting a record-breaking century in the Indian Premier League - and is primed for more success here. His variations and slower deliveries could do well in Barbados conditions.

Wood and fellow fast bowler Jofra Archer impressed for a brief period against Scotland. England's other bowlers were not at their best before rain had the final say. Wood is bowling with great pace and  Archer is looking solid enough after returning from a long-term injury.

Alongside or instead of Wood or Archer, consider Australia's pace stocks. Mitchell Starc is probably the best left-arm seamer at the tournament and highly motivated after winning the IPL title with the Kolkata Knight Riders recently. Josh Hazlewood has developed into a sound T20 cricketer and Nathan Ellis bowls really accurate and quick yorkers.

You don't have to limit yourself to a specialist spinner for your Dream11 team selection for this match. There are several spinning all-rounders to pick from. Will Jacks, Glenn Maxwell and Moeen Ali are among them. You could afford to pick all three, given their ability to weigh in with the bat and ball.

For your wicketkeeper-batter, there's Matthew Wade or Jos Buttler. Your team will need a captain, so picking Buttler for the dual role would make sense. But Wade is also a superb selection. He packs plenty of punch through the closing overs as one of the best finishers in world cricket.
