AUS vs ENG, 2nd T20I Preview

After the series began on Sunday evening in Perth, Australia and England fly across the country to Canberra for the second game on Wednesday evening. England got off to a winning start on this trip to Australia with an eight-run win in Western Australia. By welcoming back their top bowlers, we expect Australia to be closer to England than what we saw in Perth. If they can bat with the same controlled aggression then they will be very competitive. England is coming into form at just the right time ahead of the T20 World Cup but will probably rest pace bowler Mark Wood for this game. Without Wood’s pace, they lose the ability to take wickets with genuine pace.

Topmost Picks for AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, 2nd T20I:

Top Picks – Australia

• David Warner- The left-handed opener has scored 2846 runs in this format since making his debut in January 2009. He has hit 18 fours and five sixes from his last two innings.
• Glenn Maxwell– The batting all-rounder has gone through a poor run of form with the bat but is one of the most destructive batters when on form. He has hit three centuries in this format.

Top Picks – England

• Jos Buttler- The skipper was very impressive in his first game back and hit 16 runs from the first over of the game. He hit eight fours and four sixes in Perth.
• Reece Topley- The tall left-arm pace bowler played for England in the 2016 T20 World Cup but has struggled with long-term injuries since. He is now back to his best and dismissed Cameron Green and Daniel Sams on Sunday.

AUS vs ENG 2nd T20I Probable Winners:

We are anticipating another close game to follow up the eight-run difference between the sides on Sunday. England are slight favourites ahead of the match. With Australia’s best bowlers coming back and England’s strike-bowler likely to be rested, it could be argued that the home side should win easily. However, England’s other pace bowlers could exploit the conditions in Canberra. The opening game of the series delivered 408 runs and 15 wickets in a very entertaining clash. We do not expect to see as many runs but 15 wickets or more could well be on display. We anticipate Australia to come back strongly in this match but are backing England to win a close contest. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
