ENG vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction (2nd T20), Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Cricket Match - Sept 6th, 2020
The most-awaited international series of the English summer between Australia and England got off to a thrilling start as the home side snatched a win from the claws of defeat on Friday. The Aussies will be looking to exact revenge as they take on England in the second T20 at the Rose Bowl on Sunday.
Despite being restricted to just 162 and pummelled by Australia openers Aaron Finch and David Warner, England somehow managed to pull things back, courtesy of some clever bowling in the back end of the innings. They will be eyeing a series win at the expense of the Aussies, who did look a bit rusty given that it was their first game in over five months.
Much is expected of their pace bowling duo of Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins, who weren't up to the mark in the previous game. They will be crucial to Australia's fortunes against a well-oiled England unit, led by Eoin Morgan. With series and pride on the line, Australia are bound to go all out for the win although they should be in for another stern test with the likes of Jos Buttler and Dawid Malan set to feature yet again.
Either way, another cracking encounter beckons between the two sides, with much at stake at the Rose Bowl on Sunday.

Pitch Report
The previous game saw a topsy-turvy encounter dominated by the spinners of both sides. A similar sort of a pitch is expected on Sunday as well, with run-scoring being relatively easier against the hard new ball.
The pitch is expected to slow down as the game progresses, with changes of pace being quite handy in the back of the innings. Both teams will ideally want to bat first, with 160-170 being par at this venue.
