Hot Picks ENG vs IND 2nd Test Dream11 Today

England

Ben Duckett

• Series Form: 211 Run in 1 Match
• The English opener was the primary reason behind the visitors' defeat. Ben Duckett's century in the second innings gave them the early impetus to chase down a formidable target. He has scored fifty-plus runs in both innings of the first Test and, therefore, would be a prime choice for fantasy contests of the game.

Ollie Pope

• Series Form: 114 Runs in 1 Match
• Ollie Pope started the series with a brilliant hundred. He has the form with him, and his batting position is such that the ball begins to lose its movement by that stage. There is a chance that the Pope's form will continue in this game, too, and hence, he will be a key pick for the fantasy contests. 

Joe Root

• Series Form: 81 Runs in 2 Matches
• The most stable batter in the English lineup at present, Joe Root, failed to deliver as expected in the first match. He will be looking to put up his hand in this match and arrive in the series sooner rather than later. Given that Root is one of the best players in this format, he will be a good pick for the fantasy contests of the game. 

India

Yashasvhi Jaiswal

• Series Form: 105 Runs in 1 Match
• The Indian opener looked in good form in the first Test match at Headingley. Yashasvi Jaiswal looked good with the bat and will be looking to carry the form into this match. With the momentum and form he is in, Jaiswal would be a prime choice for the fantasy contests. 

Rishabh Pant

• Series Form: 252 Runs in 1 Match
• The Indian wicketkeeper was in brilliant form in the first match. Rishabh Pant scored centuries in both the innings and turned out to be the top run-scorer in the match. He has the form with him and would be a crucial choice for the fantasy contests of the game.

Shubman Gill

• Series Form: 155 Runs in 1 Match
• The Indian skipper looked in a good touch in the first match. Shubman Gill scored a steady century in the first match and hence has the form with him. Given his form and momentum, Gill one of the prime choices for the fantasy contests of the game.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Weather And Pitch Report

Weather: The weather on the first day of the match does not look very promising. According to AccuWeather, there is an 84% chance of rain on the first day of the game in Birmingham. However, the predicted rainfall is less on days two and three, at around the 10% mark on both days. Over the last two days, the rainfall percentage has been around 60%. Therefore, numerous rain interruptions are expected during the game, and the signs are ominous if you are a cricket fan.

Pitch Report: The pitch at Birmingham provides a good pace to the bowlers. With rain forecasted in the first two days, it is expected that there will be seam and swing movement on the first two days of the game. But as the match progresses, there is a chance that the spinners might come into the game. With the varied dynamics of the wicket and the influence of the weather, we can expect an exciting clash between India and England in this game.
