England vs Australia, 1st T20I: Match Prediction - Who will win today’s match between ENG vs AUS?
MATCH: England vs Australia
DATE: September 11, Wednesday
TIME: 11:00 PM IST
VENUE: The Rose Bowl, Southampton
TOURNAMENT: 1st T20I 2024
Hosts England (ENG) will take on Australia (AUS) in the first T20I, at The Rose Bowl in Southampton, on Wednesday, September 11. Australia are coming off a comprehensive victory over Scotland in a three-match T20I series by 3-0. On the other hand, though the hosts won two out of three Tests against Sri Lanka, the loss in the third Test has significantly shifted the momentum away.
Ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024, Australia whitewashed New Zealand by 3-0. They had a forgettable World Cup campaign but the team seems to have got back into the groove. On the other hand, England‘s tedious white-ball events have many questions about their prospects. They played two T20I series ahead of the T20 World Cup and lost by 3-1 to West Indies and won by 2-0 against Pakistan.
Probable Playing 11 for ENG vs AUS
England:
Philip Salt(w/c), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley.
Australia:
Travis Head, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Mitchell Marsh (c), Cameron Green, Tim David, Aaron Hardie, Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis (wk), Cooper Connelly, Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa.
Probable Top Performers from ENG vs AUS
Probable Best Batter: Travis Head
Explosive batter Travis Head was in marauding form in the first T20I against Scotland recently, as the batter scored 80 off just 25 balls to lead the team to a win. He smashed 12 boundaries and five maximums and remained unbeaten with a strike rate of 320. Hence, Australia will expect him to continue his good batting mojo in the upcoming first T20I against England.
Probable Best Bowler: Cameron Green
All-rounder Cameron Green was the Man of the Match in the third T20I against England’s neighbour, as the all-rounder picked three wickets in the last T20I. He was the pick of the bowler in the series with six wickets at an average of 10.50.
