Australia vs England 1st ODI Previews
Australia enters this series following defeats in both the ODI and Test series against South Africa. A major challenge for the reigning ODI world champions is that they will have to play without their experienced fast bowlers—Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and captain Pat Cummins. In their absence, the remaining bowlers will bear the additional responsibility of delivering consistent performances and helping Australia make a comeback.
On the other hand, the England team arrives following a disappointing performance in the ODI tri-series held in Pakistan, where they failed to qualify for the final, finishing behind both Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Harry Brook’s side will be keen to put that disappointment behind them and deliver a strong performance. Having slipped to eighth place in the ICC ODI rankings, England will look to improve their standing by securing good results in this series.
