IND vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for 4th Test - March 4th, 2021

The fourth Test between India and England will begin at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday.

The hosts have the advantage going into the final encounter courtesy of a stunning performance in the previous game.

Riding on Axar Patel's ten-for, India won the third Test inside two days and stormed to the top of the ICC Test Championship points table. All they need is a draw or a win in the fourth Test to cement their place in the final.

Joe Root and co have their backs up against the wall after two disappointing losses. Despite putting up a fight in the inaugural Test at Motera, England fell short and will be keen to level the series with a win in this fixture.

However, England's batting unit has not been able to deliver in the last two games and Joe Root will be crucial to their fortunes once again.

India are the overwhelming favorites for this game. Having said that, England have shown glimpses of what they are capable of with the ball, which should hold them in good stead ahead of this game.

With both teams eyeing a win in this fixture, we should be in for a cracking game of Test cricket in Ahmedabad.

Pitch Report

As seen in the previous game, spinners are expected to rule the roost once again at the Motera Stadium. The batsmen will need to apply themselves before unfurling their shots.

However, the pacers are also a threat on such a surface, with uneven bounce coming into play. With batting set to get relatively difficult as the match progresses, both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss.
