AUS vs ENG Preview
- England has a dismal track record in Melbourne, having won just twice in the previous 10 matches played there.
- David Warner and Steven Smith, the top-order batsmen for Australia, have combined runs scored of nearly 300.
- Australia has a strong record in Sydney, losing just twice in the previous 15 games.
After convincing victories against England on Thursday by six wickets in Adelaide and on Saturday by 72 runs in Sydney, Australia has already won this series. At 14:20 local time, the last game of the series will begin at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, where England won the 2022 T20 World Cup Final on Sunday.
Australia appears to be a team that is still miffed over leaving the T20 World Cup early, and they are showing it by playing well in this series. In both games, they played superbly with the bat and the ball.
Even though England’s individual batting efforts were good throughout the course of the two matches, the team struggled with the ball in both Adelaide and Sydney. In this game, they will need to worry about Australia’s top order much more.
