AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction With Stats, Pitch Report & Player Record of The Ashes, 2021-22 For 4th Test

Australia will go head to head against England in the 4th Test. They’ve already retained the Ashes urn after winning the previous Test. Australia has been relentless in the series thus far. They have peeked like a far better team than England. One of the reasons behind Australia’s success thus far in the series is the contribution of their batters and bowlers. They have ticked all boxes in the series.

They have already won the first three matches of the series and have already clinched the series and retained the urn but they will be eyeing a series whitewash.

However, Australia suffered a major blow ahead of the series as they have lost their in-form batter Travis Head as he has been ruled of the Sydney Test after testing positive for Covid-19. He will be replaced by another middle-order batter Usman Khawaja.

England, on the other hand, is having an awful tour as they have been so far in all the three departments. Skipper Joe Root is the only one who looked promising with the bat but he didn’t get enough support from his fellow batters barring Dawid Malan.

The English bowlers looked fine in the third test but all of it went in vain as their batters, once again failed to rise to the occasion.

Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 4th Test of The Ashes 2021-22.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Sydney Cricket Ground is expected to help the batters. In the last few Tests that we have seen on this pitch, scoring 400+ in the first innings has not been a difficult task. That being said, the wicket will provide more assistance to the bowlers in the last couple of days.
