What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Australia were clinical in their opening match as they registered a 39-run win over Oman. That being said they had made a slow start to their innings batting first and at a point there were questions being asked about the possibility of a shock loss.
Something similar was the case with England who conceded 90/0 in a rain-affected game against Scotland at this very ground. Asked to chase 109, the match got rained off with England earning a point apiece.
Quick AUS vs ENG Preview
Australia had the courage to rest Pat Cummins in their first match but there’s no doubt that he should return for this encounter against arch-rivals England.
On the whole though, the Australian side should see no changes and that’s to do with how brilliantly balanced the team is for this format.
There is just one catch here and that’s not just restricted to the Aussie side.
The pitches in this tournament have been vastly different from those back home for either side and even more so as compared to those that some of these players encountered in India during the IPL.
Phil Salt and Jos Buttler, for instance, would have to dig way deeper than they had to while featuring for Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals during the 2024 Indian Premier League.
And that’s what will make this a fascinating contest what with only those batters coming into their own who can adapt to the difficult conditions and quickly at that.
This is a close contest with Australia holding a very slight edge.
