England
England proved their batting strength with a sizzling score of 342 in the last match. Jason Roy notched a brilliant century while Jos Buttler played a superb innings with an unbeaten 91. England put up a great show with their bowling too. The trio – Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali took the Aussie batsmen to task. Eoin Morgan was missed the 2 nd ODI due to a back spasm. His fitness is still under speculation. If he is tested to be alright, Sam Billings will have to rest.
Australia
Having lost two of the two matches, the 3 rd ODI will be a make or break for the Aussies as they are in a must-win situation. The Australian batting lineup is a blow up in their face and needs to work hard. Shaun Marsh’s much-needed century and Ashton Agar’s responsible knock of 42 went in vain. Aaron Finch needs to perform for the Aussies to keep the series alive for them. Australia’s bowling is in good pace; Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson and Andrew Tye were good with the ball in the last match. Billy Stanlake, who is afflictded by toe injury, is doubtful of playing this game.
