IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction 2nd ODI Match Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI

IND vs ENG Match Preview

This is turning out to be a very disappointing tour of India for England, and it was undoubtedly what Test coach Brendan McCullum had planned for when he joined the white ball side for his brief earlier this year! Since arriving in India, England has won one and lost five games in five T20Is and one ODI, and despite getting ahead near the end of their powerplay in the first innings, they appeared to be constantly playing catch-up in the opening match of this series on Thursday. India, on the other hand, managed to canter home with 68 balls remaining despite missing star batter Virat Kohli, who was ruled out due to a minor injury to his right knee.

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

IND vs ENG Probable Winners:

Although captain Jos Buttler appears to be regaining form in this format, England's batting confidence has dipped since their peak from 2015 to 2019. India appears to have much more depth, and as a result, we predict that they will lead the series 2-0 with one game remaining! Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
