ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test 2025: The 2nd Test of the five-match series between England and India will see the English look to establish control after a win in the first Test, while the Indians will want to keep this series within their grasp with a win.
Despite showing a distinct decrease in the strength of their bowling unit, England managed to win the first Test of the five-match series mostly because of poor play by the Indian team in several places. A win on arguably the most batting-friendly pitch of this series is a massive win for the Three Lions, as they will be the favourites on surfaces that are more typical of English conditions. A win in the first game puts this team ahead in this series in more ways than one.
It was a harsh defeat for the Indian Cricket Team in the first Test of the series. Not only did they lose despite looking like the better team for much of the match, but they also became the first team to lose after scoring five individual 100s in a Test match. A loss on a batting-friendly surface will cost India big in this series, might have even cost the Men in Blue the series.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Edgbaston Pitch Report
The pitches at Edgbaston on most days are bowling-friendly in a way that most pitches in the UK are. This is more so the case in a multi-day red-ball match. The pace bowlers get a lot of support here, especially on the first two days. However, the surface here remains grassy and conducive to fast bowling for almost the entire game. While batting does get a little easier on the final two days, especially if the sun is out, this stadium is considered a haven for pacers on most days.
ENG vs IND 2nd Test Weather Report
On the five days when this Test match will be played, the weather in Birmingham is expected to be suited for cricket. While the skies will be partly cloudy, the chances of rain are quite small, except on the final day. For all days, the temperatures will be mellow, in the low-to-mid 20s. The winds will be moderate, and so will be humidity *Subject to change closer to the match*
ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match Prediction: 3 Players To Watch Out For
The 3 players to watch out for in the ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction 2nd Test 2025 are:
- England batter Ollie Pope has been one of the best-performing English cricketers in Test cricket against India in recent years. He scored a century in the first inning of the first match of this series, helping his team avoid taking on too much of a deficit. He also scored a ton in the first India vs England Test last year, leading his team to their only win in that series.
- Indian wicketkeeper/batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant became the only Indian batter to score two centuries in a single Test match in England, which is exactly what he did in the first Test of this series. He also has as many as 100s in England as Sachin Tendulkar (4). While his scoring two hundreds on a batting-friendly pitch does not mean he will continue this form in the rest of the series, it is an excellent sign that Pant has returned to form after a disappointing IPL season.
- England all-rounder Chris Woakes will be playing this Test match at his hometown of Birmingham, having represented the county team of Warwickshire for almost two decades from their home ground of Edgbaston. Suffice it to say, he has played a lot of cricket at this stadium. While not having the best outing in the first Test, Woakes is the most experienced bowler in this English side and will likely do well on a pace-friendly pitch. He also provides crucial runs in the death.
