ENG vs WI Dream11 Prediction: The first international Test series in post coronavirus era is breaking down all the bars. West Indies and England, both the sides nowhere look like they are going to leave the series quite easily that holds some important points of the ongoing ICC Test Championship.

West Indies got off the mark with an impressive performance in the series opener of the three-match Test series and they defeated the hosts by 4 wickets. The result of the 1st Test came out as a surprise for the majority of the cricket fans as West Indies, who are quite low in ranking defeated a strong side of England in their own backyards. Afterwards, the hosts bounced back strongly and registered a mind-blowing victory coming from behind by 113 runs courtesy to Ben Stokes all-round effort.

Now, the series decider will be played at Manchester starting from 24th of July. Now, it will be interesting to watch that if West Indies can create history by winning the 3rd Test or England will show their dominance on their home ground in friendly conditions.

Coming onto the performances, West Indies and his young brigade has performed brilliantly on away soil. Whether be their bowlers or batsmen, everyone has done an amazing job in their respective department. Now, they are just one step away from putting the last nail in England’s coffin England’s.

On the other hand, England players have also regained their form, who looked quite helpless in the series opener. Also, their experienced bowler Stuart Broad inclusion has given a much-needed boost and stability to their bowling unit.

In this section, apart from giving the fantasy team, we will be talking about what one should keep in mind while creating small or grand league teams. To get a clear picture, we will be going with some numbers which would be more than evident while creating fantasy teams.

WK: J. Butler
BAT: K Brathwaite, Rory Burns, D. Sibley, J Root
ALL: J Holder, R Chase, Ben Stokes
BWL: S Gabriel, J. Archer, D. Bess

Out of the box pick: If Jofra Archer returns to the fore, he should definitely be considered as a captain or vice-captain choice in both small and grand leagues.

Captain, Vice-captain for Small Leagues

  • Ben Stokes: England’s high profile all-rounder is playing in his top-notch form since the beginning of the Test series. Stokes has scored 343 runs in his last 2 Tests which include 1 double, one hundred and one fifty. Also, he is the leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets
  • Dominic Sibley: He notched a brilliant century in the first innings of the 2nd Test. And, he is quite friendly with the conditions of Old Trafford. So, he is another good option.
  • Shannon Gabriel: Gabriel has taken the responsibility as a senior pacer and performed exceedingly well. The strong and lethal West Indian pacer has 9 scalps to is name from the last two Tests.

Captain, Vice-captain for Grand League

  • Rory Burns: in 9 innings, he has muscled 396 runs with the help of a ton and two half-centuries. He has shown his calibre as a fine opener, and he will surely look to justify his worth in the upcoming game.
  • Jos Butler: He is well known for his hard-hitting skills lower down the order. However, he is still trying to cope up with the longer format. And, under pressure, he becomes quite dangerous. And, he might click a good one in the 3rd Test.
  • Ben Stokes: Chase has emerged a fine all-rounder for West Indies. He is batting well in the middle order. Meanwhile, he also looks effective with the ball. In the ongoing series, he has grabbed seven wickets and scored 141 runs with the help of a fifty.
