AUS vs ENG Dream11 Match Prediction | The Ashes 2019 | Australia vs England Match Preview

Headingley, Leeds, August 22 at 03:30 PM IST 

It was a dramatic end to the second Ashes Test which witnessed a draw after a fairly long time period. Noe the two teams will head to Leeds in Headingley for the third Test of the series.

The first Test at Birmingham in Edgbaston was comfortably won by the visitors by 251 runs, whereas, the second Test in Lord’s resulted in a draw.

The visitors have received a huge blow in the form of Steven Smith who has been ruled out pf the Headingley Test owing to a concussion which he suffered courtesy a lethal bouncer from Jofra Archer in the second test. This is definitely a big blow for the hosts who haven’t shown much resilience in the batting department baring the masterclass of Steven Smith.

For the hosts, things are definitely not falling into place as their batting is looking unstable with the big guns like Joe Root, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow not performing cohesively. They have to come up with a better plan and a different mindset heading into the third Test.
