ENG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis
Any cricket contest between England and Australia can not help but have some spotlight on it but if the truth be told this series is one which has the least to play for in a while. Indeed, the five ODIs which will follow, with the Champions Trophy in February next year, have more of a carrot for the players to perform towards considering there is no T20 World Cup until February 2026.
TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
With captain Jos Buttler missing the series due to a calf injury, eyebrows were raised in the English media when it was announced that Jamie Overton would be his batting replacement – albeit batting at number seven. This was because although there were no questions that Overton is a strong hitter lower down the order he is hardly a like for like replacement.
Australia Preview
Australia brought their exciting brand of attacking white ball cricket down from Scotland and made mincemeat of England’s bowling attack during the powerplay in Southampton on Wednesday!
Weather Conditions
Wednesday’s opening T20I was played under dark cloudy skies and with the temperatures rapidly falling from a peak of 12 degrees! It might be slightly more pleasant in Cardiff on Friday and no rain is threatening to interrupt the match. We expect the temperature to drop from 15 degrees to 12 degrees across this match.
ENG vs AUS Pitch Report
With short straight boundaries at one end of the ground, care always needs to be taken by captains at Sophia Gardens when choosing which bowlers to go with at which batters. After a cool and damp summer, there is plenty of life in the pitch and whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of 170+ on Friday evening.
