IND vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Head-To-Head Stats and Pitch report for England’s tour of India, 2nd Test
The air crackles with anticipation as India gears up to host England (ENG) in the crucial 2nd Test at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam (Vizag). After a demoralizing defeat in Hyderabad, the hosts are desperate to level the series and avoid conceding early control. England, basking in the confidence of a dominant win, will aim to silence the home crowd once again and solidify their lead.
Both teams face crucial selection dilemmas. India grapples with the absence of star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and key batter, KL Rahul, while England will be without their most experienced spinner, Jack Leach. This Test promises to be a battle of resilience and adaptation. Can India bounce back from their setbacks and exploit their home advantage? Or will England continue their momentum and take a firm grip on the series?

Pitch Report
History suggests that batting becomes tougher as the game progresses and hence, the team which wins the toss will look to bat first and pile up a huge total on the board. While spinners will be in the game throughout, pacers will also get some assistance off the surface in Vizag. What remains to be seen is if India opts for a proper rank turner or asks for a wicket similar to the one that was produced by the curators in Hyderabad.
