The England (ENG) cricket team is all set to lock horns against Australia (AUS) in the second ODI game of the five matches of the series, which is slated to take place on September 21 at Headingley, Leeds. The Aussies have a lead of 1-0, and they will be looking to mark back-to-back wins against the hosts.

The visiting sides were magnificent in the opening ODI with a stunning innings by Travis Head and Manus Labuschagne, who thwarted the English set-up to take an unassailable lead of 1-0. With this lead, they will be looking to win the forthcoming game.

In contrast, England was great in their batting performances, but they struggled a bit in their bowling department, which allowed Aussies to smash all over the stadium at Trent Bridge in Nottingham. The hosts will be looking to mark a turnaround in the next game before they find themselves in a daunting task of 0-2 trailing.

The ongoing series also marks the crucial preparation for the 2025 Champions Trophy, with England and Australia set to boost the preparations for the 50-over of the game. Pat Cummins and his men are defending ODI World Cup champions and will be looking to grab the upcoming title with such stunning form of the players. On the other hand, England will be eyeing their comeback after the 2023 ODI World Cup debacle.

Injury and availability news

Australia were left without much of their first choice XI for the match after Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood all went down with the mystery illness. It has been reported that they were suffering from virus. However, there is no update on their comeback ahead of 2nd ODI. In addition, Ben Dwarshuis ruled out in his debut game owing to the injury and he won't be playing in the 2nd ODI as well.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Headingley in Leeds might help the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. However, batters can make the game very high-scoring as they will be enjoying the pace and bounce. In addition to this, spinners might get some turn with the old ball. The team winning the toss must be looking to bowl first in the game.

Player Picks

8.5
C

Travis Head AUS | BAT

Aussie opening batter Head smashed unbeaten 154 runs from 129 balls in the last game. Must keep him in your fantasy team as the southpaw seems to be in great form and, most importantly, the biggest threat to the hosts. Head can win the second ODI game single-handedly, and having him in the team seems like a big boost.

6.5
C

Philip Salt ENG | WK

The England star batter was just able to rack up 17 runs in the last ODI game, but keep him on your team. The opening batter will be looking to give England a great start to level up the series. In addition, he has been in sublime form in white-ball cricket.

7.5
C

Will Jacks ENG | BAT

The star top-order batter made very crucial 62 runs in the first ODI game; however, his side suffered the loss. The right-handed batter will be looking to continue such an onslaught against the 2023 ODI World Cup champions in the second ODI game to level up the series 1-1.

6.5

Harry Brook ENG | BAT

The England stand-in skipper will be taking onus on himself to make sure his side level up the series after losing the series opener.

9

Ben Duckett ENG | WK

The star batter made 95 runs from just 91 balls featuring 11 boundaries in the first game. He will be looking to continue the same form in the second ODI.

9

Adam Zampa AUS | BOWL

Must keep this Australia spinner as the budget pick in your team. In the last game, the leg spinner has scalped two wickets.

8

Mitchell Marsh AUS | ALL

One can have Marsh in the budget pick as he will be looking to amass runs in the second ODI after failing to rack up in the series opener.
