IND vs ENG Match Preview

India won by four wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the ODI series, with only one game remaining in Ahmedabad. The series is currently serving as an excellent practice for the hosts as they prepare for the ICC Champions Trophy next month, whereas England's tour has been a disaster, with the team losing six of seven T20I and ODI matches. Both teams have form players, with India's captain Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, and Ravindra Jadeja standing out. Only Ben Duckett and Joe Root can be considered to be playing at the highest level in England.

Topmost Picks for IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – India

• Shubman Gill – Shubman Gill, India's opening batter, remains our top pick for the final ODI. He has fifties in both games. The 25-year-old opener will look to close out the series with another big score.
• Varun Chakravarthy – Varun Chakravarthy, in particular, could pose problems for England’s batsmen with his mix of googlies and leg-breaks.

Top Picks – England

• Joe Root – Joe Root, England's star batsman, scored a fifty in the 2nd ODI, surpassing Eoin Morgan as the player with the most fifty-plus performances for the team in ODI history. 
• Adil Rashid –  Adil Rashid, England's leg spinner, is the only player on the team to have taken wickets in both ODIs thus far. The experienced spinner has taken the most wickets for the team in the series, with three. The 36-year-old will be England's main weapon in Ahmedabad.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for IND vs ENG Dream11 Team:

Phil Salt, Joe Root, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma(C), Shreyas Iyer, Ben Duckett(VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Mohammed Shami

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for IND vs ENG Dream11 Team:

Phil Salt, Joe Root(VC), Virat Kohli(C), Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Harshit Rana

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma

Vice-captain – Ben Duckett, Joe Root

Wicketkeeper – Phil Salt

IND vs ENG Probable Winners:

Although India won both games with only four wickets remaining, they had plenty of balls in the locker and appeared to be a far more complete team that England under these conditions. We expect nothing to change in this game, and we predict another victory to give India a 3-0 series lead. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
