ENG vs AUS Fantasy Team for 1st T20I Australia tour of England 2024
ENG vs AUS Fantasy Team: England are gearing up to play against one of the most dominating T20I teams in the world, Australia, in a 3-match T20I series, starting September 11.
Phil Salt is handling the captaincy responsibility for the English side in their regular skipper Jos Buttler’s absence. Team England seems strong on paper and is ready to give a full-strength Australia a tough fight.
Despite winning 3-0 against Scotland last week, this series is not going to be a calk walk for Australia, as defeating England in England is always a challenging task.
The first T20I match of the series will be played at The Rose Bowl in Southampton. The game will start at 5:30 PM GMT and 11 PM IST on Wednesday.

ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction 1st T20I
Top Picks
Travis Head: Head will be entering this series with great form. He has struck runs at a strike-rate of nearing 248 in three matches against Scotland last week and will be aiming to repeat the same against the English side. The picth at Southampton is also favourable for Head’s style of play.
Phil Salt: England’s captain Salt is the third highest ranked batter in the world currently and given his current and his ability to provide England a solid start in recent times, he will be likely to play a big role in first T20I.
Adam Zampa: Zampa is a clever spinner, and English batters may struggle against this quality leg-spinner.
