ENG vs AUS Match Prediction – Who will win today’s 5th ODI match? – CricTracker

The five-match ODI series between England and Australia is currently poised at 2-2. The visitors won the first two games, while the Harry Brook-led side bounced back well and picked up a massive 186-run win in the last game at Lord’s. Going to the series decider, they will be confident of their chances but Australia, on their day, can decimate any team in the world.

Their batting unit is a matter of concern at the moment as the likes of Marnus Labuchagne and Glenn Maxwell have been extremely average. Cameron Green, on the other hand, has been ruled out of the series while Steve Smith has been inconsistent, scoring just 101 runs in four games. Among bowlers, Mitchell Starc has proved to be expensive while the team has missed the service of Pat Cummins so far.

For England, the captain has led from the front. Brook has done exceptionally well and so did his bowlers. Liam Livingstone’s form will also be key in the fifth ODI in Bristol.

County Ground Pitch Report

The surface at the County Ground will help the batters. It is expected to be a high-scoring game and chasing would be slightly easier. However, given the intensity of the game, it won’t be surprising if a captain decides to bat first to put pressure.

ENG vs AUS Probable Top Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Harry Brook

England’s stand-in skipper Harry Brook has been phenomenal with the bat, playing two consecutive match-winning knocks. He faced immense criticism for his form and previous comments but the cricketer turned things around and is currently England’s best batter. He has made 240 runs in four matches so far and with that, he is also the leading run-scorer of the series.

Probable Best Bowler: Matthew Potts

England seamer Matthew Potts picked up four wickets in the fourth ODI. Alongside Brydon Carse, he has been very effective and has seven wickets to his name in the most – most by any cricketer.
