Pitch Report
A high-scoring game is on the cards with the pacers likely to get some help off the surface. The batters will need to be wary of the odd ball keeping low, which has been the case in late evening games. Wickets in hand will be key for both sides, with 110 being a good total at the venue. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, although the pitch isn't likely to slow down during the game.
Today’s ENG-XI vs ITA Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Dan Lincoln: Dan Lincoln is due for a big knock after coming up short in the previous game against Germany. He is a technically sound batter capable of playing big shots as well, holding him in good stead ahead of the game.
Batsman
Harrison Ward: Harrison Ward was the star of the show with a quick-fire fifty in the previous game for England. He has been their go-to batter in the powerplay overs and is surely a must-have in your ENG-XI vs ITA Dream11 fantasy team given his form.
All-rounder
Amir Sharif: Amir Sharif has already scored two fifties today, both coming at a strike rate in excess of 200. With Sharif also contributing with the ball, he is a must-have in your ENG-XI vs ITA Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Rich Edwards: Rich Edwards didn't have the best of outings earlier in the day but has been impressive with his new-ball bowling skills in the tournament. With the pitch offering some help for pacers, Edwards could be backed to pick up a wicket or two in the powerplay overs.
