Captain and vice-captain:
A Madani is an impact player. He is an effective all-rounder and is known to make an impact in both departments. He has experience of 44 T20 games and has scored 819 runs at an average of 2409 and has picked 21 wickets at an average of 38.81.
V Aravind is a must-have player in the team. He had a stellar D10 tournament and was highly consistent. So he will be expected to carry the same form in this tournament. He made 358 runs in 12 games. He also keeps wickets so he has more chances to make an impact on this game.
Aryan Lakra is a promising young cricketer. His slow-left arm spin will be effective on these pitches. He was very impressive in the U-19 games played earlier this year. He has claimed 10 wickets in his last 5 U-19 games and has two 3-wicket hauls.
K Smith could play a huge role in this game. He is an aggressive batsman and could make a massive impact in the powerplay overs. His swashbuckling batting makes him the X factor in this game.
Between these two teams, ECB has a better balance and more firepower in the top order. So in the ECB vs ABD Dream11 today match prediction, expect ECB to win the game.
