TFG Fantasy Pundit: England batsmen to pile on the runs at Southampton

Overview 

The first match will be played at Southampton and that means there is a slim chance that the weather might intervene. Expect the England batsman to pile on the runs and their seamers too might be amongst the wickets. Don’t pick teams by based on what happened in Ire v Pak ODI.

Probable 11 for the round 

ENG- Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Ben Stokes, Jos Butler, Jonny Bairstow, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Chris Jordan 

PAK- Sharjeel Khan, Azhar Ali, Mohd Hafeez, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Nawaz/Wahab Riaz, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Umar Gul

Players who cannot be ignored 

Jason Roy- A very dangerous batsman who can destroy attacks by opening the batting. 

Joe Root- Regardless of the format, he remains England’s best batsman. Would be a folly to drop him. 

Shoaib Mailk- A perfect fit to bat in English conditions. His experience will come handy. 

Dark Horses 

Chris Woakes- Has suddenly become a genuine wicket-taking option for England will strike big. 

Jos Butler- Will keep wickets in all probability and might also get promoted up the order to swing his big blade. 

TFG Pundit XI: Jason Roy, Joe Root(C), Jos Butler, Adil Rashid, Chris Woakes(VC), Liam Plunkett, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Umar Gul
