England vs Pakistan Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's 3rd ODI Match - July 13th, 2021
The third ODI between England and Pakistan is set to take place at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Tuesday.
England's second-string squad have exceeded all expectations with two complete performances in the series. Led by Ben Stokes, the English have already wrapped up a series win and will be eyeing a clean-sweep at the expense of Pakistan. While their bowling unit has led the way on both occasions, the onus will be on the likes of Dawid Malan and Ben Stokes to come up with the goods with the bat. While few changes can be expected from the English, they have enough in the tank to pull off another win in Birmingham.
Pakistan, on the other hand, have been underwhelming with the bat in the series so far. The likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have failed big time, with the visitors' middle order unable to counter the relentless English bowling attack. A better performance is certainly expected of Azam and co., who would be keen to avoid the embarrassment of a series white-wash at the hands of a depleted England team.
Although England have momentum on their side, Pakistan will fancy their chances in the upcoming fixture, given their superior bowling prowess. Either way, we should be in for a cracking contest at Edgbaston on Tuesday.

Pitch Report
The pitch at Edgbaston should be a good one to bat on with some help on offer for the bowlers. Although there will be some swing for the pacers to make use of, the batsmen will look to take the attack to the bowlers in the powerplay overs. The spinners are likely to play a big role in the middle overs with there being some turn available off the surface. The pitch shouldn't change much during the game with both teams likely to chase upon winning the toss. 270 should be a good total with wickets in hand being key at the venue.
