IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report & Injury Update for 4th Test Match

Match Details:

The fourth Test of the four-match Test series between India and England will be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on 4th March, Thursday.

This match will start at 09:30 AM IST. It will be live on Star Sports Network and can be streamed on Disney+ Hotstar in multiple languages.

Preview:

India and England are all set to play the final test at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on March 4th. The Indian spinners are looking unplayable at the moment. Both Ravichandran Ashwin and Axar Patel have been doing a phenomenal job for the men in blue. With Rohit Sharma scoring runs consistently, India are doing well across all departments. They will need only a draw in the final Test to qualify and play New Zealand in the final of the ICC World Test Championship.

On the other side, England started the series with a massive win of 227 runs in Chennai but could not continue the momentum and lost two consecutive test matches. Their chances of qualifying for the World Test Championship Final is already done and dusted. Their poor batting has been the main reason behind the massive defeats in the last two games. The surface for the fourth Test is unlikely to be different from the third Test and hence the Three Lions batsmen will need to be a lot better.

IND vs ENG Top Picks for Today’s Dream11 Match

It looked like Rohit Sharma was batting on a different surface, as while everyone else was struggling to get even double-digit scores, he scored 66 in the first innings and an unbeaten 25 in the second innings. He has scored 296 runs at an average of 59.20 in three matches so far. The Hitman can be backed to get the most of these conditions once again.

Ravichandran Ashwin is having a dream run in his test career. He completed his 400 career wickets in the last match and is looking unstoppable at the moment. He is currently leading the wicket-taking charts with 24 wickets in just 3 games, and has scored runs 176 with the bat as well.

Axar Patel is another Indian all-rounder who has been in scintillating form. He has scalped three 5-wicket hauls already in just four innings. He was the player of the match in the last game, thanks to his 11 wickets.

Joe Root is expected to come good for the last match of this series. He has been the best batsman from his team and is arguably England’s best player of spin. In addition, he also grabbed a 5-wicket haul in the last game he played at this venue.

Jack Leach is the currently highest wicket-taker for England in this series. He has picked 16 wickets in the 3 games he played in this series. He will have to perform well once again if England want to level the series.
