ENG vs AUS Team Previews
England
After losing their first match, England made a brilliant comeback on Friday as they defeated arch-rivals Australia by 3 wickets in a high-scoring encounter.
Phil Salt and Will Jacks are once again expected to open the batting for the hosts in this match. While the duo did get the team off to a steady start in the previous game, one of them needs to get going during the PowerPlay if the team wants to put up a big total.
There are a few inexperienced batsmen in the middle order like Jordan Cox, Jacob Bethell, and Jamie Overton, but given their performances in recent domestic outings, they make up for a solid line-up. Liam Livingstone posted a brilliant knock of 87 runs in the previous game and was the key player for the team.
He has been consistent with the ball as well, picking up 5 wickets in 2 games. He will be joined by Adil Rashid during the middle overs.
With Jofra Archer likely to be unavailable, the pace attack will be led by Reece Topley and Brydon Carse.

Australia
Australia's 4-match winning streak ended on Friday and they will be pretty devastated with that loss, especially as England wasn’t playing its full-strength team.
Travis Head and Matthew Short got the team off to yet another flying start, with Jake Fraser-McGurk and Josh Inglis following up brisk knocks. However, the visitors suffered a collapse towards the end, and that is something the team will hope to work on. Tim David hasn’t had the best of times with the bat in his recent outings and could be replaced, especially if Mitchell Marsh recovers.
Australia will also expect better batting from Cameron Green and Aaron Hardie.
Coming to the bowling, Matthew Short picked up a fifer in the previous game and will be joined by Adam Zampa in the spin department while Sean Abbott, Cooper Connolly, and Aaron Hardie will feature in the seam attack.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Old Trafford is well-balanced, providing equal opportunities to the bowlers and the batsmen. The average first-inning score here is around 145.
The seamers will get plenty of help during the first half as the ball does swing around and there is a bit of seam movement as well.
However, as the match progresses, the surface settles down and gets better to bat. The weather is likely to be overcast and there are some showers expected throughout the day.
ENG vs AUS Betting Tips
Both teams have been neck and neck in terms of performance and there is no clear favorite to win here. Nevertheless, we feel that Australia has a slight edge thanks to an explosive top order and plenty of depth in batting.
Bet on Australia to win this match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Matthew Short and Travis Head have been pretty consistent on this tour, putting up 50+ partnerships in both the games. Australia has put up the higher opening partnership in both games and we are backing them to do so yet again.
Salt has been short of runs but he is someone that has consistently scored runs for England in T20 cricket. He has the best chance to capitalize at the top of the order and we think the current Over/Under line is low enough to take a big punt.
