ENG vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction for 2nd ODI: Preview

Hello and welcome to our preview for England versus Australia 2nd ODI match. We are covering ENG vs AUS Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable XI for the match.

England somehow managed to win the first match after the top three failed to perform in a chase of 214 runs. Eoin Morgan played captain innings of 69 runs and David Wiley contributed 35 runs to take England towards the win.

Things are not going in Australia’s way. The last match was their fourth defeat against England in last five ODI matches. However, there are a couple of positives they can take from the previous match. Glenn Maxwell played composed innings of 62 runs well complemented by Ashton Agar’s 40 runs after the top order failed to deliver. The fast bowlers of Australia bowled beautifully as they share all 7 wickets among them with everyone having the economy under 6.00.

Team News:

ENG:

  • Most likely England is not going to tinker their playing XI. But there are some chances of Mark Wood getting dropped in favour of Tom Curran or Jake Ball because he wasn’t in form from last few matches.
  • Jason Roy will be getting another chance despite failure in the first match, skipper Morgan confirms that.
  • No news so far regarding recovery of either Ben Stokes or Chris Woakes.

AUS:

  • There is some news in the Australian media that, Australia’s chief selector “Trevor Hohns” has given emphasis on strengthening the batting order. This means either D’Arcy Short or Alex Carey can make it to the playing XI in place of pacer Kane Richardson as they would be having other pace bowling option too. More chances are in favour of D’Arcy Short.
  • With good bowling performance in the first match, Michael Neser might retain his spot in the playing XI.
  • Ashton Agar was wicketless in the first ODI but scored a good 40 runs and expected to get picked for the second ODI as well, ahead of Nathan Lyon.
  • Billy Stanlake position remains a doubt as he suffered a cut in the opening match if doesn’t play he will be replaced by Jhye Richardson.

Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett, David Willey, Mark Wood/Tom Curran/Jake Ball

Some Important Facts and Stats:

  • If anyone of D’Arcy Short or Alex Carey plays and Kane Richardson misses out that means, Marcus Stoinis has to bowl some overs and he can get wickets too.
  • In the last match, the spin duo of Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid grabbed 5 wickets of the top 7 batsmen with having the economy under 5. The pitch is Cardiff is expected to be low and slow, so, we can see another dominant performance from these two.
