AUS vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction: Australia vs England Cricket World Cup 2nd Semi Final Best Dream11 Team

AUS vs ENG Dream11 Team Prediction: Best Dream11 team for today’s World Cup match | Australia vs England as TSR helps you with Dream 11.

The second semi-final of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 will be played between Australia and England at Edgbaston today. Given the rivalry between both the teams in association with the importance of the contest, expect the match to be a tightly-fought contest in Birmingham.

In the league match between England and Australia at Lord’s Australia had comfortably defeated England by 64 runs. It was Aaron Finch’s century and Jason Behrendorff’s maiden five-wicket haul which played a vital role in the Australian victory.

Wicket-keepers for AUS vs ENG Dream 11

I have selected as many as three wicket-keeper batsmen for this match. Having scored 329 runs in nine ODIs at an average of 65.80 and a strike rate of 113.44 including three half-centuries, Australia wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey has been their third-highest run-scorer in this World Cup.

Given the responsibility that he has taken at the biggest stage, ignoring him has it in it to bring some real perils for you. Peter Handscomb, who has been included as Usman Khawaja’s replacement, finds a place in my side because of his recent form and price of right credits. With him batting at No. 4, Handscomb will have enough time today.

It is true that England wicket-keeper batsman Jos Buttler hasn’t had the best of tournaments but the swashbuckling batsman might have saved his best for the last. In 28 ODIs against Australia, Buttler has scored 926 runs at an average of 46.30 and a strike rate of 107.92 including two centuries and five half-centuries.

Batsmen for AUS vs ENG Dream 11

Citing their form, I have picked both Australia opening batsmen in David Warner and captain Aaron Finch. The duo has amassed in vicinity of 1,150 runs including five centuries and six half-centuries in this World Cup and are among the Top Five run-scorers so far.

England opening batsman Jason Roy also finds a place in this team. Given the small boundary at Edgbaston, Roy has it in it to take advantage of the conditions today. In six ODIs, Roy has scored 341 runs at an average of 68.20 and a striker rate of 114.04 including a century and three-half-centuries.

All-rounders for AUS vs ENG Dream 11

My only all-rounder for this match is England’s Ben Stokes. Having scored 381 runs at an average of 54.42 and a strike rate of 95.01 and dismissed seven batsman at an average of 29.14 and an economy rate of 4.65, Stokes has been undoubtedly among the best all-rounders in this tournament.

Bowlers for AUS vs ENG Dream 11

Playing with a lone all-rounder, I have decided to field four specialist fast bowlers for this match. Having picked 26 wickets in nine matches at an average of at an average of 16.61, an economy rate of 5.18 and a strike rate of 19.2, Australia spearhead Mitchell Starc is the best bowler in the tournament.

While I wanted to pick Pat Cummins, a budget constraint made me pick Jason Behrendorff. In four ODIs, Behrendorff has picked nine batsmen at an average of 21, an economy rate of 5.25 and a strike rate of 24.

It was because of the above mentioned reason that I selected a fast bowler in eight credits. If you want an all-rounder in the same price, you can pick Australia’s Marcus Stoinis. Others bowlers in eight credits comprise of Nathan Lyon, Adam Zampa, Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid. You can make a change post the toss if you want to.

Among the English pacers, I have picked both Jofra Archer (17 wickets at an average of 22.76, an economy rate of 4.78 and a strike rate of 28.5) and Mark Wood (16 wickets at an average of 23.06, an economy rate of 5.22 and a strike rate of 26.5).

If you select the same bunch of players on this platform, you will have ad additional three credits in your pocket. In a bid to make optimum use of the given amount, I have replaced Handscomb with Steven Smith. Other notable batsmen in the given price range are Jonny Baistow, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan.

As far as the other players are concerned, I am not making any other change.
