England vs India 1st T20 Fantasy Cricket League Preview
England
The England Cricket team is in the best form after whitewashing Australia in the ODI and T20 series. They have a world-class batting lineup and bowling unit with the advantage of home ground in the battle against India. Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes will miss this series too as they are still recovering from injuries. The top order is so strong with high-scoring in-form batsmen like Jos Buttler, Jonny Bairstow, Alex Hales and Jason Roy. Chris Jordan and Liam Plunkett will look to thrash the mighty Indian batsmen. Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will be an equal threat as the Indian spinners.
India
The Indian team is in dream run with seven wins in seven matches. The team is laden with mighty batsmen, all-rounders and phenomenal bowlers. Jasprit Bumrah and Washington Sundar have been ruled out of the T20 series due to injury. Krunal Pandya, Deepak Chahar and Axar Patel have been names as the replacements. Skipper Virat Kohli, who did not perform well against Ireland needs to get cracking. KL Rahul is in a sensational form after a successful IPL season. Though India will miss the death- over specialist Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal are likely to intimidate the English batsmen.
