Phil Salt (11 matches, 406 runs, Average: 45.11)

Phil Salt has had a good start to his ODI career, scoring 406 runs in 11 matches. While he is averaging 45.11 so far, his batting strike rate of 132.25 holds him in good stead. Given his explosiveness at the top of the order, Salt is a fine pick for your BAN vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Batter Pick

Litton Das (60 matches, 1912 runs, Average: 33.54)

Litton Das has been Bangladesh's best batter in white-ball cricket in the last year or so. Litton amassed 577 runs in 13 matches in 2022, averaging 52.45. He is capable of scoring big runs at the top of the order and given his recent form, Litton is a top pick for your BAN vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Sam Curran (21 matches, 262 runs, 20 wickets)

Sam Curran has had his moments in ODI cricket with 262 runs and 20 wickets in 21 matches. While Curran has a batting strike rate of 100.0, the real value lies in his bowling with a bowling strike rate of 44.0 holding him in good stead.

Given the conditions that are expected to be on offer, Curran is a must-have in your BAN vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Taskin Ahmed (52 matches, 69 wickets, Average: 33.01)

Taskin Ahmed is one of the best white-ball pacers in the world with 69 wickets in 52 matches. Although he is averaging 33.01 with the ball in this format, Taskin averages less than 25 in Bangladesh conditions. Given his ability to pick wickets across all phases of an innings, Taskin is a top pick for your BAN vs ENG Dream11 prediction team.
