ENG vs IND, 1st T20I
Date and Time: 7th July 2022, 10:30 PM IST
Venue: Rose Bowl, Southampton
Pitch Report
The Rose Bowl pitch is expected to be a competitive one with decent help available for both the pacers and spinners. Although the new ball should move around a bit early on, the batters should enjoy the ball skidding on to the bat. As the match progresses, the pitch can slow down a touch and bring the spinners into play. A change of pace will also be key, with the pacers likely to revert to off-pace deliveries in the death overs. Both teams would prefer to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a decent total at the venue.
Today’s ENG vs IND Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler: Jos Buttler is set to start his stint as white-ball captain amid high expectations. The English opener has been in sensational form in this format, winning the Orange Cap in this year's IPL. He is known for his ability to score big runs and at a fair rate, making him a fine addition to your ENG vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Rohit Sharma: Rohit Sharma is back after missing the fifth Test due to COVID-19 and would be keen to get some runs under his belt. The Indian captain is one of the best players in this format, with his record speaking for itself. With a heap of experience to fall back on, Rohit is surely one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Moeen Ali: Moeen Ali is one of the most explosive batters in the world, but has not been used in a top-order role by England. With Eoin Morgan vacating a place in the middle order, Moeen could get a promotion up the order. With Moeen likely to have a say with the ball as well, he can be backed to put in a good performance.
Bowler
Harshal Patel: Harshal Patel has been consistent for India in the T20 format, impressing with his variations in the backend of the innings. Apart from his obvious bowling prowess, Harshal can pack a punch with the bat as well, as seen in India's previous warm-up match. With conditions bound to suit his skill-set, Harshal is a fine pick in your ENG vs IND Dream11 fantasy team.
