ENG vs AUS Match Prediction & Analysis
England humbled the visitors in the 4th ODI at Lordβs. They not only outplayed the Australians with the bat but were brutal with their bowling attack as well. Skipper Harry Brook is in fine touch in the middle order and is leading the batting lineup quite well.
Australia, with some of the biggest stars in one-day international cricket, were underwhelming in their performances. The pace trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Abbott failed to put the hosts under pressure.
Adam Zampa, a key figure in this bowling attack was the target of the English middle order as they went after him every time he came to bowl. Being bowled out for 126 runs while chasing 313 in a 39-over game is a huge disappointment.
Australians are known for their never-say-die attitude and we expect them to bounce back strongly in this game. On the other hand, England will be confident coming to Bristol with most of their key players finding their rhythm.
TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
Harry Brook instilled confidence in his team with his maiden hundred in the 3rd ODI. His partner in that match-winning 3rd wicket stand was out cheaply in the 4th match but opener Ben Duckett stepped up this time around and led a great fight.
The two didnβt let any of the Aussie bowlers settle and especially, Adam Zampa. Their approach to batting set the momentum for the innings and the lower middle order players who followed built on the foundations set by these two.
Australia Preview
The world champions have got all it takes to beat any team in the world. Theyβve got Travis Head at the top, Smith at number 3, Labuschagne in the middle, and Maxwell as the finisher in the batting order.
It canβt get better than this. There is plenty of experience and talent in this side. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the top bowlers in Australia in all formats. And if these two start struggling to find breakthroughs, these are alarming signs.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The weather forecast isnβt very promising for the match day in Bristol. There will be rain and wind throughout the day. Unlike at Lordβs where 11 overs were reduced from both innings, in Bristol the weather conditions might result in an abandoned match.
ENG vs AUS Pitch Report
It is a great wicket for batting. The average 1st innings score in ODIs at this venue is 241 runs. However, there have been many high-scoring matches here and we expect the pitch to offer plenty of help for the batters in this match as well. With the weather around, the bowlers will also find some movement through the air and we should have an even contest between bat and ball.
Toss: To Bowl
The team winning the toss has opted to bowl in the last 3 matches of this series. At this venue in Bristol, 18 of the 37 ODIs went in favor of the team bowling first. The highest score chased on this ground was 359 runs by England against Pakistan in 2019.
