Pitch Report
A high-scoring game is expected at Old Trafford despite there being some help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers aren't likely to get much movement off the surface, allowing batters to maximize the powerplay field restrictions. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, with the square boundaries favoring them as well. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.
Today’s ENG vs IND Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler has struggled to convert starts into big ones in the middle order over the last week or so. Although he is yet to kick on in the series, Buttler has been in brilliant form over the last few months, even impressing in the IPL. Given his ODI record and ability to tee off from ball one, Buttler should get the nod over Pant in your ENG vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Shikhar Dhawan: Shikhar Dhawan has been one of India's best batters in the ODI format, with his record speaking for itself. He has looked good in patches in the series, struggling to get going at the top of the order in the last game. However, he is a good player of pace and has a decent record in England, holding him in good stead ahead of this game.
All-rounder
Hardik Pandya: Hardik Pandya has been in decent form on this tour of England, impressing with both the bat and ball. He has been given the finisher's role in the ODIs, having had some success in the past. With Pandya also likely to take up most of the fifth bowler's quota of overs, he is a must-have in your ENG vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Reece Topley: Reece Topley was at his supreme best in the previous game, picking up six wickets and winning the Player of the Match award in the process. The left-armer can swing the ball both ways and use his left-arm angle to perfection. His variations in lengths and pace have served him well in the backend of the innings as well. With form on his side, Topley could be a fine addition to your ENG vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
