AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: The second Ashes 2021-22 Test match between Australia and England is scheduled to start from 16 December (Thursday) at the Adelaide Oval in Adelaide. This will be a day-night Test match to be played with the pink ball.

Aussie skipper Pat Cummins was absolutely phenomenal in his debut captaincy stint picking an excellent five-wicket haul in the first innings while Travis Head notched up a remarkable knock of 152 runs. On the other hand, England will be desperately hoping to come up with a better performance both in the batting as well as bowling departments.

The wicket at the Adelaide Oval is expected to have some balanced conditions both for the batters and bowlers throughout the five days of the Test match. However, this being a day-night game, the pink ball is expected to move a lot more under the lights and the pace bowlers will dictate the terms to a great extent. Thus, toss factor will also be crucial and picking a mixed combination of batters, bowlers and all-rounders will be an ideal option from the fantasy cricket point of view.
