ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – West Indies Tour of England, 1st T20

Match Preview

Having already lost the ODI series, the West Indies will look to perform better here as they look to redeem themselves in the shortest format. Their recent record hasn’t been the best but the return of a couple of all-rounders could see them perform better.

England have been battling issues of their own. They are coming into this series on the back of a 4-1 drubbing against India earlier this year. However, with batsmen like Jos Buttler and Phil Salt coming in after successful campaigns in the IPL, England hopes to continue with the winning momentum.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch is likely to favor the bowlers, especially the seamers. The even covering of grass offers plenty of pace as the ball skids on. There will be plenty of movement through the air as well, thanks to the overcast conditions. The batsmen are likely to have a tough time in the middle. It has been raining here and there is more rain forecast on Friday, which may lead to interruptions or even a shortened match.

ENG vs WI Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

We are selecting Jos Buttler as he has been in excellent form with the bat during the recently concluded IPL. Shai Hope also makes it to our team as he has been one of West Indies’ best batsmen in recent months.

Batters

Harry Brook, Sherfane Rutherford, and Ben Duckett are the top choices here. Brook and Duckett have plenty of experience playing in these conditions while Rutherford is known to play the big shots with ease.

All Rounders

Andre Russell and Will Jacks are the two all-rounders who we are selecting for our team. Russell is one of the best all-rounders in the T20 format, while Jacks has done a decent job in his recent outings.

Bowlers

Since the pitch could favor the quicker bowlers, we are selecting 3 full-time seamers Brydon Carse, Saqib Mahmood, and Alzarri Joseph. Adil Rashid makes it as the specialist spinner.

ENG vs WI Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Jos Buttler as the skipper of our team. While the pitch isn’t the easiest to bat on, Buttler is a quality batsman who can adapt to the conditions and play a good inning. Also, his recent form has been excellent.

Vice-Captain

Andre Russell is the vice-captain of our team. He is one of the best all-rounders in the business and can contribute with the bat as well as the ball. His electric presence on the field is a big bonus as well.
