IND vs ENG Fantasy Cricket Tips

Scenario: If India bat first

• Rohit Sharma has hit golden form with the bat in the last game. He will be looking to continue that in this all-important game. Barring Rohit, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav will also be good picks. Virat Kohli has not found form in the tournament, but he enjoys the big occasions and could be a decisive choice in the fantasy contests. 
• Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav will be the crucial choices in the team's bowling department.
• Hardik Pandya has impressed with his all-round displays in the tournament and will be one of the safest choices for the game.  

Scenario: If England bat first

• Jos Buttler, Harry Brook and Phil Salt will be the crucial picks for the fantasy contests of the match.
• In the bowling department, Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid will be the two most important choices. Chris Jordan will draw confidence from his performance in the last game, and given that he is a death-over specialist, he will be a crucial choice for the game.

IND vs ENG Winner Prediction

While India have played clinical cricket and have been undfeated in their journey to the semi-finals, England have stuttered along the way. However, in recent times, India have not been great in the big knockout games, and that is a disadvantage. But, the conditions at Guyana will favour the Indian team more, and hence, the Asian team will be the favourites to win the match. 

IND vs ENG Top Player Picks

Hardik Pandya (IND)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 118 Runs and 8 Wickets in 6 Matches
• The Indian all-rounder has added great value to the team's bowling. Hardik Pandya has also played a couple of decent knocks under pressure. With the all-round form that he has now, Pandya will be one of the prime choices for the fantasy contests. 

Jasprit Bumrah (IND)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 11 Wickets in 6 Matches
• The ace Indian pacer has been in great form in the tournament. Jasprit Bumrah has not only been economical but also has picked up wickets at important stages. He will be the safest choice from the Indian bowling department.

Jos Buttler (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 191 Runs in 7 Matches
• The English skipper has attained great form in the last match. Jos Buttler has the typical tendency to stand for his team in crunch games and crucial situations. It is expected that the English skipper will score runs in this game and will be one of the safer choices for the game.

Chris Jordan (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 7 Wickets in 4 Matches
• The English medium pacer has done a great job with the ball in the tournament. Chris Jordan is coming into this game on the back of a brilliant show against the USA. Death bowlers will have a chance to pick up more wickets on this track, and hence, Chris Jordan will be a good pick for the fantasy contests. 

IND vs ENG Differential Picks

Suryakumar Yadav (IND)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 149 Runs in 6 Matches
• The Indian middle-order batter has played a couple of decent knocks in the tournament. However, Suryakumar Yadav has blown hot and cold during the tournament and, hence, will be a differential choice for the match. 

Adil Rashid (ENG)

• T20 World Cup 2024 Stats: 9 Wickets in 7 Matches
• The English leg-spinner has bowled a couple of very efficient spells in the tournament. However, in some games, Adil Rashid has also been taken to the cleaners. There has been a bit of inconsistency in his performances during the tournament, which makes him a differential choice for the game.
