IND vs ENG Dream11 Top Fantasy Picks
- Shubman Gill: The Indian vice-captain paved the way for the team in the last game with a brilliant 87. Once again the right-hander will be a key wicket for England.
- Ben Duckett: The English left-hand opener looked good on his course of 32 runs in the last game. With an average of around 47 in ODI cricket, Duckett will be imposed with the responsibility of giving England a solid start.
- Shreyas Iyer: India’s no 4 was among the pick of the batter in the last game for India. He was the one who got going from the word ‘go’ and made the chase easier. Having averaged above 70 in the Cricket World Cup 2023, Iyer was at his best in the first ODI and will look to continue from where he left.
- Adil Rashid: Adil Rashid has scalped 9 wickets in 7 games against India in India. He was the pick of the bowlers in the last game for England and once again will be among the best fantasy picks for the second ODI.
