ENG vs AUS Team Previews
England
England enters this match with a formidable side, led by new ODI captain in Harry Brook. Their batting lineup is as powerful as ever, with fresh faces in the set-up keen to deliver big performances.
The bowling department will rely heavily on the experience of Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer. Rashid has been a consistent wicket-taker for England in limited-overs formats and will aim to trouble Australia’s top and middle-order batting. Archer will add pace to the bowling lineup.
Adil Rashid needs one more wicket to bring up 200 ODI wickets. Jofra Archer has 42 ODI wickets.
Will Jacks will be licking his lips to return to a ground where he made 94 runs off 88 balls. Batting conditions will suit his game.
England Playing 11
Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Matthew Potts, Adil Rashid.
Australia
Australia, led by Mitchell Marsh, has brought a strong squad to England and will be looking to dominate from the start. The top order features Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith. They will be essential in laying a solid foundation for the middle-order to capitalise on.
Mitchell Starc is one of the world’s most feared ODI bowlers. His ability to swing the ball at high pace, particularly in English conditions, will pose a significant challenge for England’s batters. The left-arm fast bowler has 43 wickets in England.
Leg-spinner Adam Zampa will also play a pivotal role in the middle overs where he has consistently picked up important wickets for Australia. He has 18 wickets in his last ten ODIs.
With all-rounders like Cameron Green in the squad, Australia boasts depth in both batting and bowling, making them a difficult side to beat. The young all-rounder has 550-plus runs and almost 20 wickets in ODIs.

Pitch and Conditions
Trent Bridge is known for being a high-scoring ground. The pitch is expected to favour the batters, particularly in the second innings. However, there may be some assistance for fast bowlers early on, especially under overcast conditions. Spinners could play a key role as the match progresses.
In terms of the weather, the match is expected to proceed without major interruptions. By the time the match starts, there’s only a slight seven percent chance of rain. Humidity levels may affect the stamina of players in the latter stages of the match. Overall, it should be a fair contest between bat and ball to begin with.
A total of 300-plus runs is very much on the cards, especially with the depth of both teams’ batting lineups. The last ODI at this venue saw England amass a score of 334 for eight in 50 overs against Ireland.
ENG vs AUS Betting Tips
This contest is set to be a closely fought one if the T20I series is something to go by.
While England comes into the match with the advantage of playing at home, Australia’s firepower with both bat and ball gives them a strong chance of drawing first blood in the series.
Australia are likely to win the match.
Bonus Cricket Bets
This is a high-scoring venue, so it may come as no surprise that boundaries may come at will. On average, in the last three ODIs at Nottingham, there have been 61.33 fours and 12 sixes. These odds should reflect a safe bet.
This should be a safer bet. Travis Head has mainly played T20 cricket in recent times, but despite playing the shorter format, he has hit six scores over 50 in his last ten matches. To add to that, Australia are also favoured to win this match.
This should be a good bet when taking into consideration that the pitch at Trent Bridge is generally extremely batting friendly. You can expect many boundaries throughout the innings. With a fresh and hard white-ball at the beginning of the innings, the ball may sail to the boundary from the first six balls.
