ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of India tour of England, 2022 For 1st T20I

ENG vs IND: England will lock horns against India in the 1st T20I of the India tour of England, 2022 on Thursday, July 7, 2022, at The Rose Bowl, Southampton.

Skipper Rohit Sharma, who missed the fifth Test in Birmingham after contracting COVID-19, is all set to make a comeback for the white-ball series against the Three Lions.

Some big names like Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and Ravindra Jadeja will not be a part of the first T20I but will return for the remainder of the series.

In their absence, the onus will be on players like Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Deepak Hooda, Umran Malik, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar to put up a good performance against the high-flying English side.

The hosts will be led by their new captain Jos Butler and will be looking to dethrone the Men in Blue from the top position in ICC T20 Rankings. Star batter Jonny Bairstow and all-rounder Ben Stokes have been rested for the series. With the two best T20 sides locking horns with each other, we are in for a cracking T20 game on Thursday at Southampton.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 1st T20I of the India tour of England, 2022.

Pitch Report

The Rose Bowl’s track is well-balanced and favourable to batters as we have seen in the English T20 Blast matches recently. The pacers could get some movement with the new ball. Spinners will also come into the picture as the game progresses, especially in the second inning. Batting second is a good idea on this track.
