ENG vs AUS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 1st ODI match between ENG vs AUS?

Visitors Australia (AUS) will be playing England (ENG) in a five-match ODI series, starting on Thursday, September 19, at Trent Bridge, in Nottingham. After a break of over two months, senior cricketers Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc will be making their returns. While Australia would hope to see Travis Head fire as he did in the T20I series. In Pat Cummins’ absence, Mitchell Marsh will be leading the side in the ODI series.

England, on the other hand, will miss the service of Captain Jos Buttler, who is out with a calf injury. Harry Brook has been appointed as the leader of the series. In Buttler’s absence, Ben Duckett will be opening for the Three Lions alongside Phil Salt while Jamie Smith is expected to make his debut. Jofra Archer will be leading the bowling unit but his workload will be managed throughout the series.

ENG vs AUS Probable Top Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Travis Head

Australia's explosive opener Travis Head is in remarkable form at the moment and would hope to carry on with the momentum. If he manages to stay in the same zone, Head can prove to be difficult to stop and he is someone who can take the game away from England’s reach. The hosts should be aware of his aggressive batting and try to get him out early.

Probable Best Bowler: Mitchell Starc

Australia international Mitchell Starc played 121 ODI matches and picked up 236 wickets at an average of 22.96. Ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy, he would like to get into the zone and make an impact and what better way than to do it against England?
