This is IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction. It will be fourth match of the T20I Series. India will take on England in the second T20I of the tour. This match will be played at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Pune. The match will be played on 31st January 2025 at 7:00PM IST.
After losing the opening two matches, England made a great comeback in the third match and the series is at 2-1 with a couple of games left. It was a fascinating match once again. England were put into bat first and started well scoring 108/3 but a collapse was triggered by Varun Chakaravarthy who picked up five wickets to reduce them to 128/8. They still managed to reach 172 on the back of a great cameo by Livingstone.
In reply, India started well in the powerplay scoring more than 50 but lost three wickets and once Adil Rashid came to bowl it was very difficult to put him away. He picked up the crucial wicket of Tilak and India were restricted to 145. They will be keen to bounce back.

IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: Pitch Report
The pitch at the Maharashtra Cricket Stadium in Pune has exhibited a change in nature across the four T20Is it has hosted since 2012. While the earlier games have tilted heavily in favour of slower bowlers, pacers have enjoyed owling at the ground over the last two outings here. India have had a mixed record at the ground, winning two and losing two matches over the years. Dew is expected to set in so both sides will prefer chasing at this venue.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Try to fit in the top 4 batters from both teams.
- You can take the risk of dropping the spin bowlers from the team bowling first.
- Death bowlers from the first innings and batters will be good C/VC options.
