England vs England Lions, Warm-Up Match: Probable XIs, pitch report, weather forecast and match prediction

England and England Lions will lock horns in their first three-day warm-up match at Peter Burge Oval in Brisbane starting on November 23, Tuesday.

As part of their shadow tour, the England Lions are currently touring Australia for a four-day warm-up match against Australia A. Prior to that, the England Lions will give some practice to the England national side ahead of the much-awaited Ashes in a three-day warm-up game.

This match will also mark the return of England all-rounder Ben Stokes. The warm-up game will provide much-needed practice for Ben Stokes after he missed out on a vast amount of cricket due to personal reasons. Joe Root and Co. will be eager to take on the England Lions and correct their mistakes before the rivalry resumes.

England vs England Lions Prediction

Since it’s a three-day warm-up game, there might not be any winner in the contest as we can expect a draw from both sides. The whole squad is expected to take part in the game and it gives much-needed game time to both parties. However, the England side look pretty strong on paper.
