ENG vs PAK Dream11 Team – 1st ODI 2021 | 8 Jul

It’s been a tough few days for England who had recently announced news of 7 members from their ODI team testing positive for Covid-19. As per the rules, the entire team had to go into isolation, which means a whole new squad for the ODIs and T20Is for this upcoming 2021 Pakistan tour of England. The tour will resume as is, between 8-20 July 2021, with 3 ODIs scheduled followed by 3 T20 internationals too.

The series begins with the 1st ODI and this will be a great chance for Pakistan because they’re up against a second string home side. The visitors played an intra-squad warm-up game and prior to that, a lot of these players were a part of PSL 2021 in UAE, so there’s a lot of game time for these players.

England

Everyone’s guessing who will make the playing eleven but we know for sure that James Vince is going to make the side as he’s someone who has been in and out of the team, putting in consistent performances with the bat for Hampshire over the years. Another person who should make our ENG vs PAK fantasy team is Dawid Malan who has proved himself in T20Is and has a fifty in 3 career ODIs so far too.

Ben Stokes is leading the side and he’s got 10 wickets in his last 4 games in the T20 Blast while his batting skills are amazing too, which means he’s a sure shot option for your fantasy captain or vice-captain today. We’re not too sure if Craig Overton will make the side but he’s a bowling machine who can be handy with the bat and has done well for Somerset over the years, so I’d like to have him in my ENG vs PAK Dream11 team today.

Pakistan

From the touring squad, the first person you want to pick is Fakhar Zaman with the bat because he’s got a good record in previous games here and has done well in England as well, with a run fest in 2019 during the 2019 WC time. With the ball, you’d want someone like Hasan Ali in your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) ENG vs PAK fantasy team because he’s got 10 scalps in just 3 ODIs here and loves English conditions.

Saud Shakeel is set to make his ODI debut but we don’t know much about him, so we’d rather pick Faheem Ashraf who has done well in this part of the world and can contribute in both departments, making him another fantasy captain or vice-captain option. Talking about all-round contributions, Shadab Khan doesn’t usually bring match winning efforts, but will surely get you some points with either bat or ball.
