ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023 5th Test Dream11 Prediction: Rage and disappointment have been the emotions flowing through the veins of England Cricketers after rain squashed a winnable Ashes 4th Test. This led Australia to retain the Ashes, as they are already leading the series 2-1. The ‘Bazball’ side is most likely to channel these emotions to deny the Kangaroos the series, though the Urn will stay in Canberra for another Year.

Perhaps, when you look where the wind blows, this wouldn’t be a far fetch as they had risen from 2-0 down to almost leveling up in the last Test, but again, “Rain Wants What It Wants”.

On the other hand, Australia would have the eyes of an eagle on the series, as they have been unable to clinch it on English soil since 2001. They get to keep the Urn regardless, but again, as high as the pride revolves around Ashes, No one wants to lose a match.

ENG vs AUS Pitch Report

Oval Pitch normally feeds batters. But again, it has been noticed that the pitch often favors bowlers as the match grows. The Toss-winning team might go with the decision to bat first. But if the cloud casts shadows above, fielding first would be a more sensible approach, as the pitch would benefit seamers.

It is expected to be cloudy on Day 1 at the Oval, but the weather could improve significantly on the other days. As the weather forecast suggests, rain could be a call away, and we can expect a shower anytime. The temperature around the stadium would be around 23 degrees Celsius, and the wind could come at you at a speed of 23 km/h.

Players to Watch

Ben Stokes could be playing his final Ashes at the Oval. Considering England don’t have any Test Series scheduled until January post-Ashes, this could be the last time we see him wear the white jersey.

All is not going well for Steven Smith in this Ashes. Having scored just a 50 in all 4 tests he played, his tall score of the 2019 Ashes (774 Runs) is a far cry for now. Though it seems like England have figured him out completely, given a chance, he could rise to form anytime.

ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023 5th Test Dream11 Prediction

ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023 5th Test Dream11 Prediction: Though they get to retain the mighty Urn this time, Australia wouldn’t be relaxed coming into the 5th test. Their series draught in the English soil is a sour pill to chew on. But again, England could wear the jersey of the wounded Lions and try to level the series. Also, they nearly won the last test until the rain played spoilsport. Considering the recent form and momentum, as per the ENG vs AUS Ashes 2023 5th Test Dream11 Prediction, England have a slight advantage to win the 5th Test.
