India Vs England 3rd T20 Dream 11 Predictions
India begins on a great note, taking the first two games and leading 2-0 going into the third. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, they will be looking to win back-to-back matches and, therefore, seal the series with two games left.
Meanwhile, England have fallen on the defensive after suffering a couple of defeats in the first two matches. Although they showed somewhat better resistance in the second game, they still trail 2-0.

So, with both eyeing victory, it is going to be an intriguing contest between them.

Pitch Report:
The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium is usually one that provides just about equal benefit to batsmen and bowlers. In the initial overs, pacers will get some assistance with the new ball, while spinners will come into play a bit later during the game. This is generally known as a run-scoring track, although as the match progresses, bats and grips will likely offer turn opportunities for spinners. The sides winning the toss would more likely choose to chase as this track tends to play differently under lights.
Weather conditions:
The weather forecast for Rajkot anticipates cloudy weather today, with temperatures at around 27 degrees Celsius. It also seems quite humid at about 79%, and there will be mist in the air, yet there is no prediction for rain, and the match should be uninterrupted. Weather conditions may tilt in favor of the spinners somewhat, with some slow turn supplementing the humidity.
Players To Look Out For:
Tilak Varma: Doing the right thing here – combining youthful exuberance with the reason for maturity exhibited recently, he could be the one to stabilize the innings if the top order crumbles.
Arshdeep Singh: Swing and variations, especially in Powerplays – he could be a game-winner with the new ball against the top order of England.
Jos Buttler: In amazing form, the England captain can anchor an innings or finish it off. The prospect of his batting could decide England’s batting fate.
Jamie Smith: A person to watch, with an impactful debut and an aggressive style of batting; he might be the perfect weapon for England if they need some quick runs.
Brydon Carse: Impressive performance suggests he could play a massive role for England’s plan with his pace and swing. All-rounder.
Abhishek Sharma: Being a left-handed batsman, he has the power to change the complexion of the game; could be vital if he gets going first up in the innings.
Varun Chakravarthy: His mystery spin has troubled many a batsman, and on a pitch offering turn, he might be pivotal in controlling England’s scoring rate.

Dream 11 Predictions
Wicket-Keepers: I’ve chosen Jos Buttler as captain, based on his recent form and match-winning skills. His ability to score runs quickly while himself leading from the front makes it impossible to leave him out. Also, Jamie Smith’s recent performances suggest he could be a dark horse and provide good value with both bat and gloves. Sanju Samson rounds out the wicket-keepers, known for his capability to stay at the crease and play big innings when the need arises.
Batters: Suryakumar Yadav should be a name that is easy to remember with his 360-degree batting style, which makes him a threat to any bowling attack. Abhishek Sharma as a left-hander would add variety to the top order, while Tilak Varma’s recent consistency may help him enjoy building up edges or finishing innings.
All-Rounders: Hardik Pandya gets selected for his dual ability with bat and ball. His potential to impact change in the game with bat or ball makes him an asset. Axar Patel, on the other hand, is a complete package with his tight bowling and handy lower-order batting as far as combining with Hardik is concerned.
Bowlers: Adil Rashid’s mystery spin could be critical, especially if the conditions favour him. His ability to keep the runs down while picking up wickets in the middle overs is a notable feature. Arshdeep Singh, with vice-captaincy bestowed on him for his ability to swing the ball both ways, can be dangerous with the new ball and is effective in the death over. Varun Chakravarthy makes the cut purely because of his ability to be a game-changer with his various variations if the pitch offers him any assistance.
