ENG vs PAK Dream11 Team - 1st T20I 2021 | 16 Jul

The 2021 Pakistan tour of England hasn’t been the best for the visitors so far. It began with the 3-match ODI series and even though England was affected with Covid-19 and had to send across a completely new team which one could even call as a second string team, the hosts completed a 3-0 whitewash. Now, England has most of their first team members back, so they’re going to be even more formidable for the 3-match T20 series.

Pakistan will be super demoralised after the ODI series, especially since the 3rd ODI was in their hands and they let it slip and go to England. They don’t have too many changes in their squad and it’ll have to be a considerable change in game plan if they want to be victorious today.

Stats that matter

Head to head in last 5 games, the teams are tied 2-2.
Saqib Mahmood – 17 wickets in last 7 T20 matches.
Dawid Malan scores in last 2 ODIs – 0 and 0.
Pakistan – won their only previous T20I here.

England

From the recent ODI series, Saqib Mahmood and Lewis Gregory have been added to the main T20I squad and we think Saqib is a sure shot pick in our ENG vs PAK 1st T20 fantasy team, picking 9 wickets in 3 ODIs and having good wickets in PSL 2021 as well. On the other hand, there’s Dawid Malan who was the number #1 T20 batsman in the world last year and we’re picking him though he didn’t have a great ODI series.

Eoin Morgan returns as captain of the English side and it’s been months since he’s got a fifty across formats and competitions. They have a strong batting lineup and we’d rather pick Jonny Bairstow who had a brilliant few games at the 2021 Vitality T20 Blast as well. We’re excited to see David Willey with the new ball who picked up 9 wickets in 3 ODIs against Sri Lanka recently, and has found a good rhythm.

Pakistan

The only person putting on consistent scores is the captain Babar Azam who smashed a career best 158 in the last ODI and there’s no way you’re leaving him out of your My11Circle (Get Rs.500 FREE*) ENG vs PAK fantasy team. Apart from him, make sure you pick Fakhar Zaman who scored only 63 runs in 3 games in the ODI series but he’s got a great record in England and moreover, he loves the T20 format.

We didn’t see great contributions from Faheem Ashraf in the ODI series but he’s a tactical bowler who knows this format well and knows these conditions too, so we think he’s going to play a bigger role in the T20 series. Apart from him if you want an added bowling option, pick Hassan Ali who seems to be loving these conditions and is one of the only genuine swing bowlers in the side, so don’t miss out on him today.
