Pitch Report

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a decent one to bat on, with some help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. There should be some movement available with the new ball, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the batters should enjoy the hard new ball skidding on, making for a good contest in the middle overs. As the game progresses, the spinners will come into play given the turn on offer. Both teams will ideally look to chase with dew coming into play in the second half of the match. 160 should be par at the venue with wickets in hand being the key towards the backend of the innings.

Today’s ENG vs AUS Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler hasn't scored many runs after two games for England in this T20 World Cup. However, his explosive batting is highly-valued by many and should come to the fore today, making him a good addition to your ENG vs AUS Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

David Warner: David Warner has a decent record versus England and would relish a big knock against the likes of Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali. The southpaw returned to form with a 42-ball 65 against Sri Lanka in the last game and could score some vital runs at the top of the order today as well.

All-rounder

Mitchell Marsh: Mitchell Marsh has been in decent form with the bat, scoring runs for fun and even earning the number three spot in the side ahead of Steve Smith. He is more than a handy medium pacer too, which should add value to his selection in your ENG vs AUS Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Adil Rashid: Adil Rashid is Eoin Morgan and England's go-to bowler in the middle overs in this format. Despite not picking up a wicket in England's win over Bangladesh, Rashid should find some help off the surface and pick up a few scalps against the Aussies.
