Australia and England are in Group B for the tournament. The other teams in the group are South Africa and Afghanistan. With each team to play only three group games, neither Australia nor England can afford an early slip-up.
The upcoming AUS vs ENG match will be played on Saturday (February 22) at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The match will be played from 02:30 PM (IST).
England:
Jos Buttler (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Jamie Smith, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Saqib Mahmood, Phil Salt, Mark Wood
Travis Head's wicket will be very crucial for England if they are eyeing a win over the world champions. Head has been one of the best if not the best openers in the world in the last couple of years or so. With Australia missing several key players, the onus will be on him to lead the team's charge with the bat and give a good start.
Steve Smith vs Adil Rashid:
England would be looking to get rid of Smith as early as possible and they will be relying on their spin leader Adil Rashid for the Australia captain's wicket.
Jos Buttler could spoil the party for Australia. The England captain could not lead his side to a series win in India but managed to get some decent scores under his belt. He will be looking to score big in the upcoming game.
AUS vs ENG Key Players
AUS - Travis Head, Steve Smith, Josh Inglis, Adam Zampa, and Nathan Ellis will be the key players for Australia.
AUS vs ENG Weather And Pitch Report:
The AUS vs ENG match is unlikely to face any major interruption as there is no prediction for rain. The temperature is set to be in the early 20s in the first half of the game and will be hovering between 15-20 degrees Celsius once the sun goes down.
Conclusion:
Australia and England are not in great form in ODIs in recent times and the upcoming game allows them to turn things around.
Both the teams struggled in their previous ODI assignments and will be fancying their chances in the upcoming game. With not much room for slipups in the tournament, both sides will be looking to start their campaign with a win.
