You would’ve expected India to struggle against the world’s best white ball side in their home conditions but the men in blue were brilliant in the opening game of this 3-match T20 series on the 2022 India tour of England. They put up a score of close to 200 and then hunted down the hosts to secure a pretty big victory of as much as 50 runs. Now, we’re set for the 2nd T20 to take place at Edgbaston.
This is another high scoring ground as we saw a score of nearly 380 being chased in the 5th Test by England. In a recent T20 Blast game here, we saw a lot of runs there too. While India has a few squad changes for the next couple of games, the hosts are expected to not have many changes for this game.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 T20Is, India leads 4-1.
- 5 previous T20Is here – all won batting first.
- England in 3 previous T20Is here – won all.
England
In the last game, Chris Jordan picked up 2 wickets and scored 26(17)* and that came a day after he got a fifty and 3-fer in the T20 Blast 2022, which means he’s in great form and the T20 specialist makes our ENG vs IND fantasy team today. Next, we have a fantasy captain or vice-captain option in Moeen Ali who also bagged 2 wickets in the last game and we think he’s redeveloped himself as a batter in this format as well.
Being the only frontline spinner in the squad, Matthew Parkinson may retain his place even though he had an expensive outing in the last game. We’ll drop him and will rather pick David Willey in our ENG vs IND Dream11 team as we expect to make the new ball move around a bit. Reece Topley is coming into the side with a lot of rhythm and good form, and he’s been for a long time one of the top bowlers in the domestic circuit.
India
A few senior players return and we believe that Virat Kohli slots right into the team in place of Deepak Hooda, even though the latter has been in great form and even became India’s latest T20I centurion a couple of games ago against Ireland. Next, Ravindra Jadeja will be a like-for-like replacement for Axar Patel. Having shown a clear disability to play the short ball in the 5th Test, Shreyas Iyer may not make the team lineup today.

Similarly with multiple wicket-keeping options in the side, India may bring Rishabh Pant in for Dinesh Karthik, especially since the former scored a whole lot of runs in the recent Test here. Another option could be dropping Ishan Kishan at the top and playing both of Pant and DK. With the ball, Bhuvneshwar Kumar stays our main pick for today’s MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) ENG vs IND 2nd T20 fantasy team.
