Pitch Report

The pitch at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium is a decent one to bat on, with 170 being a good total at the venue. The pacers should get some extra bounce and movement early on, with the batters having to bide their time in the middle. Although there isn't much turn available off the surface, the spinners will look to make use of the skewed dimensions of the ground. Wickets in hand, as always, will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

Today’s ENG vs WI Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Jos Buttler: Despite not playing in the UAE leg of the IPL, Buttler looked in good touch in the warm-up matches. His attacking prowess is well-known to the cricketing fraternity and should hold him in good stead ahead of Nicholas Pooran, whose form isn't as good as Buttler's at the moment.

Batter

Evin Lewis: Star opener Evin Lewis, who replaced Jos Buttler in the Rajasthan Royals' set-up, had a decent IPL 2021 campaign, coming up with a couple of crucial knocks at the top of the order. He has been in great touch over the last few months and will be key in this game for the West Indies.

All-rounder

Andre Russell: Andre Russell is back to full fitness and will be crucial to West Indies's fortunes, adding some much-needed firepower and depth to the side. Although he may be a touch rusty, Russell is a must-have in your ENG vs WI Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Tymal Mills: Tymal Mills is one of the finest death bowlers in this format, often holding his own in the backend of an innings with his clever back-of-the-hand slower ones and yorkers. With Mills being England's designated death bowler, one can bank on him delivering the goods in this game and also going forward in the tournament.
