Match details: England vs India, 4th test
England vs India: 4th test match preview, fantasy tips & dream11 prediction
Ind vs Eng: The series of Pataudi trophies with high issues between England and India moves to Manchester for the 4th test, the hosts currently holding a 2-1 crucial advance. After a hard battle disputed at Lord’s, where England came out victorious by 22 points, India will be subject to immense pressure to level the series and force a decision maker to the oval. This promises to be another captivating meeting between two of the best test nations in the world.
India, now led by test captain, newly named Shubman Gill, will look for a significant turnaround. The team’s striker has shown gloss overviews, in particular with the coherent performance of KL Rahul, which is about to reach 9,000 international races. However, the collective effort will be crucial against a formidable Bowling attack in English. The big question mark for India will be the availability of the rhythm of the Jasprit Bumrah rhythm, which was rested for the second test due to the management of the workload. Its presence could be essential by swinging the momentum in favor of India. Rishabh Pant’s finger injury is also a concern, although it has shown immense resilience.
England, under the aggressive direction of Ben Stokes, will trust confidence after the triumph of their Lord. Their “Bazball” approach has given results and they will aim to seal the series in Manchester. Joe Root continues to be a Lynchpin in their striker, while their rhythm attack, reinforced by the return of Jofra Archer, seems powerful. The conditions at Old Trafford, known to help designers, could play in their hands.
This test does not only concern the result of the series, but also has a meaning for the world championship cycle ICC 2025-2027 world tests, of which this series is a part. The two teams will be impatient to obtain precious points.
The main battles of players to watch:
- Kl Rahul (Ind) against the attack on rhythm of England: Rahul was the most constant striker in India in this series. Can he continue his race against James Anderson, Josh Tongue and Jofra Archer?
- Ben Stokes (Eng) against Indian spinners: The aggressive striking of Stokes can change the complexion of a test match in a session. How will the spin duo of India, with probably ravaged Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, counter-attack?
- Jasprit Bumrah (Ind) against the first command of England (if he plays): If Bumrah is in good shape, his ability to extract the rebound and the movement will constitute a serious threat to the first order of England, in particular Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope.

According to historical data at this venue, spinners have taken 62% of wickets in last 5 matches. Also England batting average here is 28.4 compared to India’s 41.2. So your prediction about top order batsman makes sense but I think your bowler selection need some adjustment based on recent form and pitch report.
If your predictions were stock tips, we all would be billionare by now… living in streets! 😂 But seriously bro, last time I followed your advice my ranking went from 50,000 to 5,00,000. Maybe next time predict opposite of what you thinking? Just kidding man keep trying! 🤣
What nonsense predictions yaar… You said same thing in 3rd test and my team got only 450 points. How you can suggest Jadeja as vice captain when pitch is clearly favoring pacers?? Waste of time reading this.
Hmm interesting take on all-rounder selection. But dont you think weather condition should be consider more? Rain forecast is there for day 2 and 3.
Bro this prediction is spot on! I follow your tips from last 2 series and my team is always in top 100. Keep it up mann seriously your analysis is to good for fantasy cricket.
Oh wow, another ‘expert’ prediction where all premium players are must picks! Such revolutionary advice, nobody could have thought of picking Kohli and Root in their team. Thank you so much for this groundbreaking analysis that definitely required hours of research! 😏
I completely disagree with your captain choice. How can you ignore Bumrah current form? He taking wickets in every match and you suggesting Rohit as captain? That make no sense at all. And your bowling combination is also questionable – why 3 seamers when pitch turning from day 1??
Everyone acting like predictions are guarantee. Guys its called fantasy for reason – anything can happen in cricket. That being said, this analysis seem decent compare to other websites I seen. At least he giving proper reasoning not just random players list. Good effort but dont blame him if team not perform lol
FINALLY someone who understand Dream11 strategy properly!! Your point about credit distribution is exactly what I been telling my friends. Most people just pick all expensive players and then struggle with lower order. Your balance team approach is perfect for this match I think. Already made my team based on this. Finger crossed! 🤞
LOL you call this fantasy tips? My grandma can make better team than this and she don’t even know cricket rules hahaha
