AUS vs ENG Dream11: Match Preview, Stats and Analysis

Pitch Report:

Adelaide Oval

According to captain Cummins there is some grass coverage offering pace, bounce spin and sideways movement to the bowlers. Batsman has to apply themselves to score big. Overall a good pitch for test cricket.

With pink ball, and under lights we can expect more movement in the ball from usual but on the same note if batsmen apply themselve and adjusts to the conditions then runs scoring will become easy for them.

Australian Team Preview:

Australian team will be high on confidence, after the first match dominant win over English team. They have outperformed England team in all department whether it is fielding, batting or bowling.

Cummins had a impressive captaincy debut in international circuit with his fifer. There was some doubt over Warner’s participation in this match due to injury concern but Cummins declared, Warner is all fine to play this match. Hazlewood will not feature in this match, due to injury, and is replaced by Jhye Richardson.

Note: Pat Cummins is ruled out of this match and M Neser is declared as his replacement.

England Team Preview:

England team would be jolted from the humiliating defeat in the first match. They were nowhere near the mighty Aussies in the Gabba, and has to ponder out on their playing 11, and poor form of their batters, and last but not the least, Root has to properly use Ben Stokes as an allrounder in this contest.

They should have got some boost in their confidence, after the return of their most experienced fast bowler, James Anderson. As per the pitch condition, captain can  go for all in all pace attack in the first pink ball test match of the Ashes series. In bowling department, English team will have high hope from their two ace swing  bowlers, Woakes and Anderson. If these two will be in their elemental best then things can turnaround for England team, as well.

Probable 11 Of England:

1 Rory Burns (LHB)

2 Haseeb Hameed (RHB)

3 Dawid Malan(LHB)

4 Joe Root (capt) (RHB)

5 Ben Stokes (LHB + RAM)

6 Ollie Pope ( RHB)

7 Jos Buttler (wk) (RHB)

8 Chris Woakes ( RHB + RAM)
