The England cricket team is all set to lock horns against Australia 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.
