IND vs ENG Fantasy Cricket Tips

Scenario: India Heavy Fantasy XI

Yashasvi Jaiswal's current batting form makes him the safest choice for the fantasy contests of the match. However, with the wicket predicted to favour the new ball bowlers, middle-order batters like Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan will be excellent choices for the game.
Jasprit Bumrah is making a return for the fifth Test match. In the first three matches of the series, Bumrah displayed excellent skills and picked up wickets irrespective of the game's situation. So, the prime Indian pacer will be a must-pick for the game.

Scenario: England Heavy Fantasy XI

Joe Root regained his form in the last Test match after letting go of the Bazball approach. With the confidence of runs and the ability to contribute with the ball, Root will be the prime choice from the English team.
James Anderson has been the biggest threat to the Indian batters in the series. His ability to get something out of the wicket makes him an excellent choice for the match.

IND vs ENG Winner Predictions

India have sealed the series with three consecutive wins. However, the conditions will be the best for the English team in the fifth match. Hence, a closer fight between the two teams is expected, but India might win the game with the momentum they have.

Dhruv Jurel (IND)

The young Indian keeper looked in great touch with the bat in the last game. Dhruv Jurel has the confidence of runs under his belt and given that he will be in the middle-order, Jurel will be an excellent choice for the game.

Jasprit Bumrah (IND)

The prime Indian pace will be back for the fifth Test. In the first three Tests, Bumrah was his team's prime wicket-taker; on his return, he should be a must-pick.

Yashasvi Jaiswal (IND)

The young Indian opener has been in prime form in this series. With 655 runs from 8 Innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal sits at the top of the run-scorers chart for the series. He will be the safest pick for the game.

Joe Root (ENG)

The English superstar resorted to the traditional style of Test batting and scored a brilliant Hundred in the last game. Root has the form with him and will again be a good choice for the game.

James Anderson (ENG)

The English veteran looked in good form in the first three matches of the series. However, he did not deliver upto the expectations in the previous game. Yet, if England bowls first, Anderson will be a prime choice from the team.

IND vs ENG Differential Picks

Sarfraz Khan (IND)

The Indian middle-order batter has been impressive with bat in the series. Coming to bat in the middle-order, Sarfraz might be the differential choice for the game.

Ollie Pope (ENG)

The English middle-order batter played a brilliant knock in the first match of the series. But barring that single innings, Pope has looked out of touch. Many fantasy players might ignore him, so keeping him might be beneficial, giving you an advantage over the others.

IND vs ENG Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the nature of the wicket and the strengths of the two teams, a 2-3-2-4 or a 3-2-2-4 combination will be ideal for the game.
