Head-to-Head

Australia have won their last three ODIs against England on the bounce.

Australia Form

Australia have won their last two ODIs in a row along with three wins in five.

Their inexperienced pace attack dominated the England batters at Perth, with Beardman wrecking England by taking 6/24, with Spencer Johnson 3/42 and Xavier Bartlett 1/46 picking up.

Mitchell Marsh then struck four fours and four sixes in a blistering 30-ball 50 as he highlighted his status as Australia’s most dangerous batter.

England Form

England have lost four of their last five ODIs. They lost their first seven wickets for just 60 in the series opener at Perth and were dismissed for a score of just 131, with Gus Atkinson's unbeaten 29 their highest score.

The big-scoring Ben Duckett managed just nine runs in the 1st ODI but his 737 runs from his 13 ODI innings this year make him a stronger top-batter option despite his failure in the opener.

Jofra Archer has been in great form with the ball and is likely to challenge Australia again with his pace at Adelaide, although Adil Rashid is potentially England’s dangerman on the Adelaide track.

Team News

Australia are resting Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood while England could recall specialist spinner Adil Rashid to take advantage of any turn at the Adelaide Oval.

Australia (possible XI): Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Josh Inglis, Matthew Renshaw, Cameron Green, Jack Edwards, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa, Mahli Beardman.

England (possible XI): Ben Duckett, Will Jacks, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jordan Cox, Tom Banton, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid.

Verdict

Australia v England 2nd ODI

Australia are backed for the win with the best performers likely to be among Australia’s consistent opening batter Mitchell Marsh, while Mahli Beardman’s sensational debut performance suggests he could be in the wickets again in the 2nd ODI.
