AUS vs ENG Preview

England will look for an improved bowling performance than the one they put in against Scotland where the Scottish side posted 90/0 in 10 overs before rain forced the match to be abandoned. Scottish openers George Munsey and Michael Jones had given the England bowlers a lot to think about so you would imagine an Aussie lineup boasting the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head would be a handful to deal with.

Australia are coming into the match after a well-earned victory against a game Oman where Warner and Stoinis starred with half-centuries while Nathan Elis and Adam Zampa shored up the bowling department. With Pat Cummins likely to come back to the team for this match, England has a mountain to climb against their arch-rivals.

Kensington Oval Pitch Report

The pitch at the Kensington Oval is a decent track for batters in the first innings, setting the stage for a moderate-scoring game. Fast bowlers will find extra zip off the surface, while spinners will find plenty of turns. Given the stats—16 wins for teams batting first out of 26 matches—the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bat first.

What are AUS vs ENG Fantasy Tips?

Despite a rough patch in the IPL 2024, Maxwell is known to rise to the occasion in ICC tournaments. Known for his explosive batting and useful off-spin, Maxwell scored a golden duck vs Oman but he can be a game-changer on his day, making him a worthwhile risk for your fantasy team.
Considering the pitch and team dynamics, a balanced mix in your fantasy squad with a 2-3-3-3 combination could be key.
J Bairstow & M Ali are some of out of the box picks.
