ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – West Indies Tour of England, 2nd T20

Written by: Archana Luthria • 07.06.2025

Match Preview

Despite having a relatively young squad, England dominated the visitors in all aspects of the game on Friday. They come into the 2nd T20 with an advantage and will hope to clinch the series. However, the team does need some of its middle and top-order batsmen to perform better.

The West Indies has plenty of experienced players in the squad, most of whom are specialist T20 players. However, they have failed to perform well as a team. Nevertheless, with the series on the line, we expect them to play better and offer a good resistance.

Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of any injury from either side.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch at the Rose Bowl is traditionally well-balanced and we can expect a good contest between the bat and the ball. The green-top pitch offers good pace and bounce, which the batsmen can use to their advantage. The team batting first will look to score at least 170 runs.

The weather in Southampton has been overcast over the last week but the forecast is better for Sunday, with clear skies and pleasant weather.

ENG vs WI Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

We are opting for Jos Buttler as the wicket-keeper of our team. He has been in excellent form of late and is likely to continue playing well. We are also selecting Shai Hope.

Batters

Evin Lewis, Harry Brook, and Jacob Bethell are the top choices in this category. Bethell played well in the last match, while Brook and Lewis are born quality batsmen.

All Rounders

Liam Dawson was excellent in the previous match and is a natural choice. Andre Russell and Romario Shepherd are both quality all-rounders as well.

Bowlers

The seamers are likely to get some help here thanks to the grass on the pitch. We are therefore selecting Alzarri Joseph and Matthew Potts. Adil Rashid makes it in the team as a specialist spinner.

ENG vs WI Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

Jos Buttler was the leading run-scorer of the last match and has an excellent record against the West Indies.

Vice-Captain

While there are quite a few contenders for this slot, we are opting for Liam Dawson. He was brilliant with the ball in the previous match and he can also be a handy batsman lower down the order.

ENG vs WI Team Expert Advice

Since the pitch has something for the batsmen and the bowlers, we have tried to select a balanced squad giving equal weightage to batsmen and bowlers. The seam attack consists of two quality seamers and a specialist spinner, while the all-rounders provide depth to the batting and balance out the bowling attack.
