ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: Playing XI, Fantasy Tips (1st T20I of Australia’s Tour of England)

Australia’s Tour of England 2024 starts on 11 September 11 with three T20Is, and will be followed by five ODIs. Both teams will be fielding nearly full-strength squads, making for an exciting showdown.

England is looking to rebound after their recent underwhelming performances in the World Cup, and there’s no better stage for them to regroup and prove their mettle than the upcoming white-ball series against Australia.

However, England will face a significant challenge as they step onto the field without their white-ball captain Jos Buttler, who is currently sidelined due to injury. Phil Salt will take up the mantle of captaincy for the T20I series, with hopes that Buttler will recover in time for the ODIs. With Brendon McCullum newly appointed as head coach, England will aim to inject fresh energy and strategy into their gameplay as they take on their age-old rivals.

Australia, on the other hand, arrives with momentum, having just secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Scotland. Mitchell Marsh will captain the Australian side, which boasts a mix of seasoned campaigners and young talent, ready to challenge England on their home turf.
