Australia batters Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne are playing in a good partnership and stabilized the innings after their team lost their openers early. England was off to a good start, but they need to break this partnership soon, to keep the pressure on Australia.
Reigning champions England have won the toss and decided to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The ENG vs AUS clash promises to be a thrilling encounter, with the defending champions likely to go all out after being knocked out of the tournament.
Australia have made two forced changes in their playing XI with Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green coming in for Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell. England have opted to go for the same side.
England have had a miserable World Cup defence, winning just 1 of their 6 matches and sitting at the bottom of the ICC World Cup points table. Jos Buttler’s side have failed to beat the likes of Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
Australia, on the other hand, have had a decent campaign so far and are favourites to reach the semi-finals of the marquee event. The Kangaroos have made a remarkable comeback from crushing defeats to India and Australia in the opening matches of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, winning 4 out of 4.
Aussies are missing the services of two key players for this encounter – Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell. While Maxwell is ruled out owing to an injury he suffered while playing golf, Marsh has gone back home to Perth for unknown reasons.
A victory against England in Ahmedabad will all but cement the Kangaroos’ position in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup.
