Dream11 Prediction for England vs Australia 3rd T20I: Best Fantasy Picks
Best fantasy choices (Batters) ft. Head, McGurk
Travis Head completely mauled down the English bowling attack with a 19-ball fifty in the first match. He should be a sure-shot pick in today’s match as well. Australia played Jake Fraser-McGurk in the previous game and he shone massively as well, hammering a 29-ball fifty. Will Jacks has not made enough runs in this series, you can go ahead with him in case Mitchell Marsh continues to remain absent. In grand leagues, however, users can take a punt on Jacob Bethell, who blasted Adam Zampa for 20 runs in an over in the 2nd T20I.
Best fantasy choices (All-rounders) ft. Livingstone, Stoinis
No dearth of all-rounders in this match as there are five possible options, all equally dangerous. Interestingly, Dream11 has now put Liam Livingstone in the ‘all-rounder’ category. This means, your one all-rounder is sorted. He has racked up 323 points in just two games! Astonishingly, Matthew Short also bagged a fifer in the previous game, meaning Australia could hand him the ball at any time today. Sam Curran and Marcus Stoinis could be considered, given they are always designated to bowl at least 2-3 overs in every game. Cameron Green is another option but he is batting too low. Hence, Curran can be picked since he bowls at least two overs at the death.
Best fantasy choices (Wicket-keepers) ft. Salt
Now coming to the wicketkeepers, Dream11 users should go ahead with Phil Salt and Josh Inglis. Salt has played 29 innings in Manchester, making 810 runs at a strike rate of above 150. Inglis, meanwhile, has had a decent series as well, making 79 runs for Australia.
Best fantasy choices (Bowlers) ft. Zampa, Archer
20 wickets in match one and 13 in the next. Quite a few bowlers have thrived in the opening two T20Is. But we now only have 3 slots left. The Old Trafford’s surface is yet to host a 200+ T20I affair, meaning that there will be something for the bowlers once again. Skillful bowlers would always pose a threat here. Jofra Archer, Reece Topley, and Josh Hazlewood – all were rested in the previous game, meaning one could make a comeback in Manchester. If they don’t, the set of Sean Abbott, Adil Rashid, and Adam Zampa could be the way to go. Rashid has a decent record at this venue, mustering 25 wickets in 20 innings at an economy of 7.89.
When selecting your Dream11 team, consider these top picks based on their current form, stats, and match conditions:
- Batter: Travis Head,, Will Jacks, Jake Fraser-McGurk
- All-Rounders: Liam Livingstone, Sam Curran, Matthew Short
- Wicket-keeper: Phil Salt, Josh Inglis
- Bowlers: Adil Rashid, Adam Zampa, Sean Abbott
