India vs England Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for 4th T20I - March 18th, 2021
The fourth T20I between India and England will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.
England are 2-1 ahead in the series courtesy of a blistering knock from Jos Buttler in the third T20I. Their bowlers have also been spot on in the powerplay overs, which has given them breathing space in the middle overs.
With the likes of Jofra Archer and Jonny Bairstow also chipping in with useful contributions with the ball and bat respectively, the English will be eyeing a series win ahead of this much-awaited fixture.
The Indians, on the other hand, have blown hot and cold. Despite Virat Kohli coming up with a knock for the ages, the Indian bowlers haven't tied the English batsmen down in the early stages of their innings. The spotlight will be on KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, who have so far failed to impress with the bat.
While the English are up 2-1 in this series, they will be wary of what the Indians are capable of. With the likes of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan itching to make amends for a no-show in the previous game, we should be in for an entertaining match as both sides seek a crucial win in the context of the T20I series.

Pitch Report
A competitive track awaits the two sides at Motera, with the pacers getting ample help on offer. While the new ball should swing around, there is some extra bounce available, which should keep the likes of Mark Wood and Shardul Thakur interested. Although the pitch is slightly on the slower side, the spinners will need to vary their lines and lengths to make the most of the conditions. Wickets in hand will be crucial for either side, with 160-170 being par at this venue. Teams have preferred to chase upon winning the toss and shouldn't be any different on Thursday as well.
