ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 2nd, England vs India T20I series 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 2nd T20I of the England vs India T20I series 2026 between ENG vs IND to be played in Manchester.

The first T20I between England and India saw the rain playing spoil sport after the first innings, and it was abandoned. India batted first and posted 189 runs. Abhishek Sharma (59 off 24) and Shreyas Iyer (68 off 47) scored half-centuries.

Shivam Dube provided the finishing touch with an unbeaten 42 off 21 balls. But it wasn’t the typical batting display that India are known for. Sanju Samson and Ishan Kishan looked rusty, while Tilak Varma and Axar Patel were looking outdated. India’s strategy of going with only two specialist pacers was also a surprise.

India are overdoing the experimentation, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi is still at the bench. The second T20I will kick off at 7 PM IST on Saturday at Old Trafford. England did well with the ball, restricting India to a par score. Jofra Archer will be back for the next game, adding more firepower to them.
