ENG vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction (2nd ODI), Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates - Sept 13th, 2020

The second ODI between England and Australia takes place at Old Trafford, with the tourists looking to seal an emphatic series win on Sunday.

The Aussies were in fine form in the first ODI where Josh Hazlewood turned up a virtuoso performance with the new ball. With Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh also finding form with the bat, the Australians look well-equipped ahead of this game.

The visitors have received a massive boost after Steve Smith was cleared to play the second ODI. Despite Smith's arrival, Australia have their hands full against Morgan and co,, who will be itching to preserve their unbeaten record in home series this summer. With the likes of Jonny Bairstow and Mark Wood slowly getting back to their best, England will be hoping for a series-leveling win on Sunday.

Both teams look evenly matched on paper, although one might fancy an England win given the superior balance in their squad. With the series on the line, one can expect both teams to come out firing on all cylinders in what should be a thrilling encounter.

Pitch Report

Another competitive game is on the cards after batsmen and bowlers of both teams made the most of the conditions in the previous game. Spinners should be key on this surface, with Adil Rashid and Adam Zampa picking up six wickets between them in the first game.

In addition to the turn on offer, the pacers also found some swing with the new-ball that accounted for a few wickets in the first ODI. Nevertheless, the batsmen should be able to play their natural games once they find their feet in the middle.

Either side will look to bowl first as the pitch is not expected to change much during the course of the game.
