ENG vs AUS Team Previews
England
England's lineup features a wealth of talent who showed in the third ODI that they can match the power of the current ODI world champions. They will need another win to stay in the ODI series.
Jofra Archer's express pace and Harry Brook’s emerging batting prowess will be central to their success. Archer, will be a key figure in their bowling attack as one of the few fast bowlers in their lineup to reach rapid speeds. He will be looking to deliver early breakthroughs with the new ball and add to his 44 ODI wickets.
Brook, known for his aggressive yet composed approach, will be vital to building England's innings. He showed his class with an unbeaten century to guide England home at Durham.
Will Jacks provides England with much-needed versatility. His all-around skills make him a valuable asset in both batting and bowling, especially when conditions favour turn. Jacks' ability to contribute at crucial moments at the top of the batting order or a few overs in the middle phase with the ball could swing the game in England's favour. Jacks contributed with 84 runs and a wicket on Tuesday night.
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 enters the fourth ODI with high hopes of a positive result. They are one ODI win away from claiming the spoils on enemy territory.
They are spearheaded by the batting leadership and brilliance of Steve Smith. Smith’s ability to anchor batting innings while accelerating the scoring when needed will be essential to Australia’s chances at Lord's. The run-scoring machine of Steve Smith hit 60 runs in the third ODI.
Alongside Smith, wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey’s form will be crucial in the middle-order. Carey’s sharp glovework behind the stumps and his tactical acumen will also be key factors for the Australians. The left-hander has hit back-to-back scores in the 70s against England.
Mitchell Starc’s left-arm pace and ability to swing the ball both ways will be vital in limiting England’s powerful batting lineup. Starc’s history of being a game-changer in ODIs, especially at Lord's, makes him a player to watch. The speedster claimed two wickets at Chester-Le-Street.
Australia Playing 11
Travis Head, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Alex Carey, Glenn Maxwell, Sean Abbott, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood.

Bonus Cricket Bets
The Australian captain has consistently delivered in crucial moments, making him a strong bet to score a significant number of runs. He may even lead the run charts in this game. He scored an almost run-a-ball 60 in the second ODI.

The left-handed English opening batter is likely to come good again with the bat. He scored a cameo of 32 runs off 25 balls in the second ODI and opened the ODI series with an innings of 95 runs. This would be a good bet to go for.
