ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of The Ashes, 2023 For 2nd Test

ENG vs AUS: Australia will lock horns against England in The Ashes, 2023 on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, at Lord’s, London.

The series opener between Australia and England at Edgbaston was a nail-biting encounter, with Australia emerging victorious by two wickets. With a 1-0 lead in the series, the Pat Cummins-led side is eager to build on their success and extend their lead.

The combined efforts of Usman Khawaja, captain Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, and Nathan Lyon were pivotal in securing Australia’s win in the first test, and they will be eager to sustain their momentum as the series progresses.

England, on the other hand, displayed a solid performance in the opening test, with little to criticize apart from their early declaration in the first innings. Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root were instrumental in bolstering the team’s batting, while the bowling attack failed to meet the expected standards, particularly James Anderson, who managed just one wicket throughout the match.

Having acknowledged the mistake of allowing Australia to launch a counterattack in the first Test, England is steadfast in their commitment to rectify their approach and ensure they don’t repeat the same errors in the Lord’s Test. All in all, a gripping five-day contest awaits us at the Lord’s.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the Ashes, 2023.
