The ENG vs AUS World Cup 2023 encounter on Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad is anticipated to be another high-scoring spectacle England finds themselves in a must-win situation, as a loss to Australia would spell the end of their World Cup aspirations.

Defending champions England are entering this crucial match burdened by a four-match losing streak, suffering defeats at the hands of Afghanistan, South Africa, Sri Lanka, and India. These losses, often by substantial margins, have left them languishing at the bottom of the tournament table. Consequently, former England cricketers have directed their criticism towards the team's management and coach, Matthew Mott. 

Conversely, Australia is riding a wave of success, boasting a four-match winning streak, with their most recent victory coming against New Zealand in a high-scoring thriller, winning by a mere five runs after posting a formidable 388 runs. Although Australia is peaking at the right time, they still grapple with a few concerns.
