IND vs ENG Dream11: A series between two top T20 teams in the world is expected to go till the last game. Maybe not in this fashion. Except for the fourth T20I, there has been little conflict in the rest of the India vs England T20I series and matches have been a one-sided affair. Both England and India have deployed different strategies to gain upper hand. England unleashed their pace arsenal to stun India’s top-order while India bowlers took the pace off the ball to deprive England batsman scoring chances in death overs. In batting, both teams are dependent on their respective top-orders to get runs. With the series on the line, both teams will want to bring out their best. However, the pressing question is can they throw any more surprises at their opponents?
