Both teams are experimenting with some new names for this series. We would recommend you to carefully examine some scorecards before you decide your final team. Also, keep a close tab on the poor Irish weather.
Expect another flat wicket at Leeds and once again the batsmen will remain in focus for fantasy cricket. England have already won the series and that might tempt them to change their playing 11. On the other hand, expect shuffling to happen in the Pakistani camp.
Expect another batting wicket at Lord’s. That said, we can expect some thunderstorms and that might completely change the fantasy equation. Pakistan might contemplate a change or two.
St.Lucia have been in terrific form lately and after a series of wins, they are unlikely to change their West Indian players. That said, the South African cricket board has called all their players back home and that could mean, Morne Morkel, David Miller and Trinibago’s Hashim Amla might all miss this encounter. Also, consider picking the leading all-rounders for this round.
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.
The second ODI between Aus & Sri too will be staged at Colombo and this contest is going to be played on a different surface as compared to the first game. Expect the weather to intervene, and it’s better to pick players accordingly.
The first ODI between Aus & Sri will be played at Colombo and one can expect a decent wicket for the batsmen to bat on. However, the Lankan spinners will have their say too. Plenty of options in all categories, the key is to pick as per the conditions.
It’s only a two match series and both teams might want to experiment. Hence, you could see some surprising changes in both sides for this round. Keep an eye on the weather too.
The first Test between SA & NZ will be played at Durban and the wicket is likely to assist the seamers initially. The Kiwis won’t tinker much with their squad, but the Proteas might surprise us with their selection.
For this round between Pakistan and Ireland, we suggest you should pick the utility cricketers. Both teams have players who can do a bit of batting and bowling. On the weather front, some scattered showers are expected to hit the ground.
