AUS vs ENG Fantasy Cricket Tips

Australia's robust showing against Oman contrasts sharply with England’s rain-dampened encounter against Scotland. Given the abundance of all-rounders on both teams, a balanced 7-4 fantasy team combination is recommended.

AUS vs ENG Winner Prediction

Australia’s formidable performance in their opener makes them the frontrunners, especially against an English squad whose bowling lacked bite in their curtailed first match.

AUS vs ENG: Top Player Picks

David Warner (AUS)

The seasoned Australian opener notched a crucial fifty in their opening clash against Oman. While it wasn't his typical aggressive display, he adapted well to stabilize his team after three wick wickets. Including Warner in your fantasy lineup could significantly boost your points, given his ability to play crucial innings.

Marcus Stoinis (AUS)

Stoinis delivered a powerhouse performance in Australia's last outing, smashing 67 runs from just 36 balls to help set a challenging total. He didn’t stop there; he also took three important wickets for 19 runs. His dual-threat capability makes him an essential pick for accruing points in both facets of the game.

Phil Salt (ENG)

Following an impressive IPL 2024 season where he amassed 435 runs across 12 games, Salt's form is formidable. His aggressive approach at the top of the order could pose a significant challenge for the Australian bowlers. A Salt on song is a sight to behold and can single-handedly turn the game around.

Adil Rashid (ENG)

On the slow Barbadian pitch, Rashid's spin could be deadly. Ranked as the world’s number-one T20I bowler, his ability to take vital middle-over wickets could be crucial in stifling Australia's innings.

AUS vs ENG Differential Picks

Glenn Maxwell (AUS)

Despite a rough patch in the IPL 2024, Maxwell is known to rise to the occasion in ICC tournaments. Known for his explosive batting and useful off-spin, Maxwell scored a golden duck vs Oman but he can be a game-changer on his day, making him a worthwhile risk for your fantasy team.

Will Jacks (ENG)

Jacks displayed outstanding form during the IPL 2024, but his aggressive batting style combined with his limited international experience makes him a gamble. However, his ability to score quickly can be incredibly valuable in the T20 format, offering high-reward potential for your fantasy squad.
