Australia vs England Preview
Neither team has much confidence at the moment so this is a tough one to call. Given the Australian injuries, I'm backing England.

- Australia have lost their last 4 ODI matches.
- Australia’s Steven Smith scored 141 in the 1st ODI of a recently completed series against Sri Lanka.
- England’s Ben Duckett has scored 32, 65 & 34 runs in his last 3 ODI matches.
- England have lost their last 4 ODI matches.
Head to Head
Three of the last five games between these two nations have gone Australia’s way. The last time they met was in September 2024, a series Australia won 3-2.
Australia Form
Australia come into this Champions Trophy as the reigning World champions in the ODI format after their 2023 success.
However, the Aussies have not been at their best of late and have a number of key players missing through injury. Much will defend on the likes of Steven Smith, Alex Carey and Travis Head to steer the younger generation.
Glenn Maxwell could play a key role as he is the one player who can turn a game on its head in a matter of overs.
Australia Injuries & Team News
In the absence of some stars, including Pat Cummins and Josh Hazelwood, Steven Smith takes over the captaincy for this tournament.
England Form
England have dropped off in the ODI format since their 2019 Cricket World Cup win. They have not managed to retain the same kind of consistency despite having quite a few world class players.
Just before the Champions Trophy, England lost an ODI series 3-0 to India away from home. It would have been good prep despite the defeats as conditions are likely similar.
Phil Salt and Ben Duckett scored some runs in those losses, but they will need more from the rest of the batting lineup to compete in the Champions Trophy.
England Injuries & Team News
England have fallen short in the bowling department of late while the batsmen have struggled on occasion, too. Much will come down to Jos Buttler, the key player to England’s potential success.
Verdict
England are backed to beat Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy.
