What are the Top Picks, players for Dream11, My11circle and MPL for BAN vs ENG, 1st T20I?

Top Pick – All-Rounder
Shakib Al Hasan doesn’t need any introduction when he plays especially at home. Bangladesh skipper has scored 2243 runs in 109 T20Is at an average of 23.12 and picked up 128 wickets at an economy of 6.83.

Top Pick – Wicketkeeper
Jos Buttler will be back to his opening position in this format. His numbers will tell us how dangerous he is. In 103 T20Is, he has scored 2602 runs at an average of 34.69 with the highest score of 101*.

What are the fantasy suggested teams for BAN vs ENG, 1st T20I?
1. Jos Buttler, Liton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Ben Duckett, Dawid Malan, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Moeen Ali, Sam Curran (vc), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Adil Rashid, Mustafizur Rahman
2. Liton Das, Nurul Hasan, Ben Duckett, Dawid Malan, Afif Hossain, Shakib Al Hasan, Sam Curran, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Adil Rashid, Chris Jordan (vc), Jofra Archer
Pre-Match Analysis:
Bangladesh had a disastrous World Cup campaign in Australia where they crumbled against top-rank sides however they take a lot of positives as they fielded a relatively inexperienced side that was led by experienced Shakib Al Hasan. They are still in a transition phase in the shortest format and trying to build future stars. Towhid Hridoy, Rejaur Rahman, and Tanvir Islam have earned their maiden call-ups into the T20 side following their stunning performances in the Bangladesh Premier League. The side also marks the return of Rony Talukdar and Shamim Hossain Patwari who also did well in the league. Soumya Sarkar and Mosaddek Hossain are the notable omissions from the squad.
England has a strong bunch of all-rounders which is the major reason why they won the T20 World Cup in Australia. They lack a genuine hitter in the middle order with no Liam Livingstone and Will Jacks in the squad however they have got Moeen Ali and Sam Curran who can make difference. Ben Duckett keeps his spot after his incredible performances in Pakistan, scoring 233 runs in 7 games at an average of 46.6. Speedster Jofra Archer too included in the squad. Jos Buttler and Phil Salt will open the innings whereas experienced Dawid Malan to bat at No.3. The World Champions are all set to conquer Bangladesh.
