The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at Edgbaston to decide who will rule this series. Let’s look at ENG vs IND 2nd Test Dream11 Prediction.

Team Form and Momentum

England carries immense confidence after a historic chase at Headingley and the evolution of their “Bazball” approach, meaning a more calculated yet aggressive strategy under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum.

India will aim to bounce back from their series opener setback but must confront both form and the mental hurdle posed by Edgbaston’s tough playing surface.
