IND vs ENG Dream11: Two white-ball giants, India and England who have reached the top with contrasting approaches will continue to experiment and learn as they square off against each other in the second ODI. The first ODI, had plenty of drama and Inia won the game thanks to a staggering England collapse when at a time it looked as if England would chase the total inside 40 overs. India have found match-winners in pacers while the lack of venom in spinners is a cause of concern. For England, death over bowling is a big headache. However the biggest concern for both teams is the injury issues to their key players.

P Krishna has that X factor in him which helps in creating wickets from nowhere.
