ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: The 2nd match of the 3 match series begins today at the same venue where the 1st T20I happened, Southampton. The wicket was on the slower side in the 1st game and they are expected to play on a different deck where wicket might have bounce and pace which the modern day batsmen love.
The match turned out to a heart-breaking one for Australians as they have lost the game from nowhere. They failed to chase 30 runs in the last 4 overs with 6 wickets in hand and only themselves to blame for this show. They have one of the poor team construction going around in the world cricket at the moment. They have as many as 4 openers in the playing 11 which backfired big time as they didn’t have the designated finisher in their team which has exposed them at the wrong time.
Meanwhile, the visitors are playing without the man who makes things happen in Ben Stokes but still they have packed their team with top quality options that only shows the depth of the English squad. They played with 4 seamers including Tom Curran and Chris Jordan which allowed Eoin Morgan to use Mark Wood and Jofra Archer as game breakers

No injury announcement from both the side.
Playing combination and expected changes
• Their opening combination is set in stone with Aaron Finch and David Warner. That is not going to change anytime soon
• Their top order and middle order have Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis. Though Marcus Stoinis didn’t help then take the game past the finishing line, they are expected to persist with him. Mitchell Marsh might play in place of Marcus Stoinis but chances are very bleak for that.
• Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar will be their spin twins for this game.
• The pace trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Kane Richardson will have a major role to play this game as well.

Captain and Vice Captain
David Warner: The greatest opener in the history of T20 cricket. He is the best option for captaincy and this goes without saying. He scored 58 runs in the 1st match. David Warner has scored 234 runs in his last 5 T20I innings at an average of 46.8 runs.
Jos Buttler: The universe Jos looked in ominous touch in the first game and scored 44 from just 29 balls. He was also in excellent form in the test summer. He is a good choice for captaincy option
Aaron Finch: The Australian captain will be looking for redemption in this game. He even played very well in the 1st game and scored 46 from 32 balls. It was this same ground where he made an epoch-making 156 against this same team. He has an average of 67 against England in T20Is scoring 471 runs at a strike rate of 183.
X-factors and value picks
Dawid Malan: The talented southpaw has been a revelation for England in T20Is. He rescued them in the last game with a masterful 66 from 43 balls. He had a brilliant start to his T20I career. Has scored 619 runs so far with 8 half-centuries to his name at an average of 51 with a strike rate of 149.
Steve Smith: This champion player can be a real value pick in grand leagues. He has impeccable records in T20Is since 2019. He averages 89 at a strike rate of 151. Against England, he has scored 137 runs in 5 T20Is at a healthy strike rate of early 140s.
Pat Cummins: He proved to be the real X-factor for Australia in the previous game. Though he picked just a solitary wicket, he looked like an all round bowler. He can be a real value pick in the grand leagues.
