ENG vs AUS: Who will win?

The bilateral ODI series are always dead-rubbers. But that’s definitely not the case if the clash is between the arch-rivals England and Australia. The series has been spiced up and is all geared up for an exciting finish. England came back stunningly in the last match from nowhere just as they did in the first T20I. They would be riding on that confidence to upset the visitors, and claim the ODI series. Australia on the other hand will be hoping to get back the service of star player Steve Smith and will be keen to end England’s streak of consecutive 13 ODI series wins. The match is evenly poised and it’s a tough task to pick one winner. That being said, if Steve Smith comes back, Australia stands a better chance, otherwise, bet on England for the same.

India Fantasy’s Today match prediction:

Australia to win the match

• Steve Smith is expected to make it back to the eleven. It will strengthen the Aussie batting line-up.
• Australia has a strong enough bowling attack to restrict the England batting to a pare score.
• England’s top order looked rusty in the first two matches.

ENG VS AUS MATCH PREDICTION

Ahead of the much important series decider, the worries for both the teams are quite different. England has a problem with its top order whereas Australia has a problem in its middle order. The return of Jason Roy hasn’t done any good to the England side so far. He failed miserably in the last two matches, and the vintage Roy-Bairstow combo partnership was nowhere to be seen. Root’s form is also a point of concern for Morgan and co. Despite getting proper starts he hasn’t been quite able to convert it to a big score. The rest of the areas are well sorted out for the English side and hence no big changes are expected in the line-up. The bowlers who have done a commendable job so far are expected to keep their place for the decider.

Australia on the other hand will be strengthened with the return of star batsman Steve Smith. He will replace Marcus Stoinis in the line-up. Finch will be hoping for some support from his opening partner Warner for the series decider. Other than that, the batting line-up looks well sorted on paper, even though middle-order performance hasn’t been up to the mark. Aussies bowling looks as good as ever and the huge responsibility lies in the shoulders of Adam Zampa to exploit England’s weakness against spin.

ENG vs AUS Toss Prediction and Pitch Report

A fair amount of matches have been played on the Old Trafford in the English summer of 2020. This may cause the pitch to behave on the slower side as the number of matches progresses. This was evident from the support that the pitch offered to the spinners in the last match. It is more or less expected to stay the same. And hence the captain who wins the toss may prefer to field first as defending totals can be a difficult task in Old Trafford. The average first innings predicted score is 280.

Predicted first innings score:

If England bats first: 310-320

If Australia bats first: 270-280

Players who are expected to perform well as per Dream11 Prediction.

Top batsman: Steve Smith

Smith will be playing his first ODI match after the forced COVID-19 break. As the format gets longer, his hunger for runs increases. Bet on him if you are in for cricket betting or fantasy cricket.

Top Bowler: Adam Zampa

If there is one man who is potent enough to run through the English line-up, its Adam Zampa. As for cricket betting tips, he is the ideal man to invest your money in.

Most Sixes: Eoin Morgan

With England’s top order not performing up to the mark, the huge responsibility will be rested with the captain Morgan and the rest of the middle order to take the innings forward. And if Morgan gets to stay some quality time in the crease, tons of sixes are guaranteed for sure.

Man of the Match: Adam Zampa

Adam Zampa is the man who can turn the match in the favour of the Aussies. More matches being played on the same venue means, the pitch will behave on the slower side and will assist spinners more. Bet on Zampa to take a handful of wickets in this series decider.
