AUS Vs ENG, 3rd ODI: Team Previews

Australia

Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia have been exceptional across departments in the ongoing ODI series against England. Despite missing most of their first-choice bowling options, the Aussies used their all-rounders incredibly to restrict the hosts to 315 on a batting paradise. They followed it up with a remarkable batting effort, successfully chasing down the total, riding on Travis Head's blistering hundred. 

The second game witnessed Australia's remarkable fighting spirit as they bounced back from a batting collapse and posted a competitive score. Alex Carey was their wrecker-in-chief with the bat, powering them to 270 with his phenomenal half-century. Furthermore, the return of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood significantly boosted Australia's bowling, with the visitors bowling out the hosts for 202 runs. 

The visitors have trounced the Englishmen collectively. Although their top-order crumbled in the second ODI, their batting depth and the presence of numerous multi-dimensional players make Australia the firm favourites to secure their third consecutive win.

England have won two consecutive matches [X]

England have been nothing short of underwhelming in their recent white-ball matches. However, their batting unit is to blame for their dismal run in the series, as the likes of Phil Salt, Will Jacks, and Harry Brook haven't been at their best. 

None of the English batters have been consistent of late, barring Ben Duckett and the promising Jamie Smith. Also, the hosts don't have the luxury of using Olly Stone, Jofra Archer, and Reece Topley together, considering their proneness to injury. In such a scenario, they are bound to compromise with the quality of their bowling attack, keeping second-choice options like Brydon Carse. 

So, skipper Harry Brook should use Adil Rashid's overs carefully as he can be their go-to man with the ball, being the senior-most bowler in their line-up.

AUS Vs ENG, 3rd ODI: Riverside Ground Pitch Report

The pitch at Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street generally offers excellent batting conditions. Although the fast bowlers will get a hint of seam movement early on with the new ball, the batters will find it easy to get going as the game progresses. The spinners will get some turn off the surface, particularly in the second half of the game. Given the recent track record, the toss-winner might opt to bat first.
