Match Prediction
With no prior meetings to lean on, England carry the better recent form into this one — but it should be closely contested.
This XI leans 7-4 towards ENG, which is a deliberate bet rather than a hedge — Jamie Overton takes the armband, so if ENG are rolled over cheaply your score goes with them. If you want to de-risk it, swap one ENG middle-order batter for the equivalent slot on the other side before the toss.
