ENG vs AUS Team Previews

England

England have it all to play for in this final ODI of the series. They showed in the ODI series that despite some of their inexperience, they can topple the might of Australia. 

England will look to Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell and Jamie Smith to step up as some of the younger guys in the country's renaissance in white-ball cricket. Brook’s consistency with the bat, Bethell’s exciting all-round potential and Smith’s capability behind the stumps make them key figures for the home side.

The England squad has a mix of young talent and experienced players. Harry Brook will be a crucial component of England’s batting lineup with his ability to anchor innings or accelerate when needed. He hit an unbeaten century in the third ODI.

Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith brings sharp skills behind the stumps and an eagle eye with the bat. The young Smith has started his ODI career with 88 runs in his first four ODI innings.

England’s bowling attack will rely on a balanced pace and spin combination, with Bethell potentially playing a key role with his left-arm spin. He has four wickets in his first three games of this ODI series. England will also expect their pacers to make early inroads into Australia's top order.

England Playing 11

Philip Salt, Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Matthew Potts, Olly Stone, Adil Rashid.


Australia

Australia, as always, boasts a formidable lineup. They won the opening two games of the series and will be looking to wrap up the series in fine fashion.

From Australia's side, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell and Adam Zampa will be pivotal in shaping the outcome. Head’s all-round abilities, Maxwell's explosive batting and Zampa’s crafty leg-spin can turn the game in their favour.

Travis Head is a game-changer capable of influencing the outcome with both bat and ball. His spin bowling will complement Australia’s pace attack and his powerful hitting at the top of the batting order adds depth to the lineup. The all-rounder contributed with 34 runs in the fourth ODI.

Glenn Maxwell, known for his unorthodox shots and all-round contributions, will be crucial in the middle overs against spinners. He blasted a cameo of 30 runs off 25 balls at the Riverside Ground.

Adam Zampa, Australia's leading leg-spinner, will aim to control the game in the middle overs with his variation and accuracy. He poses a significant threat to England's batting. He took four wickets in his opening two games of the ODI series.

ENG vs AUS Toss Prediction

The game will be played as a day game at County Ground, Bristol.

With the conditions at Bristol often favouring seamers early on, the toss-winning captain may opt to bowl first. 

The previous team to win the toss in an ODI at Bristol was Ireland, who elected to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The County Ground, Bristol, is known for its balanced pitches and offering something for both batters and bowlers. Early movement for the seamers can be expected, but the wicket tends to flatten out as the game progresses. Spinners could play a role later in the match, and both Jacob Bethell for England and Adam Zampa for Australia will be key in that regard.

The weather forecast for Sunday looks unfavourable, particularly in the second innings. There is a 44 percent chance of rain at the start of the match. Temperatures will be moderate, but very humid.

The past two games at Bristol have been rained out. The two games at the venue before that were won by the side batting second.

ENG vs AUS Betting Tips

The familiarity with home conditions may give England a slight advantage. Australia’s experienced lineup will make them tough opponents and arguably, give them an even bigger advantage than England. 

With both teams having match-winners, expect a close battle that could swing either way with notable individual match performances.

Australia's ability to perform in the highest of pressures makes them a worthwhile bet to win this match.
