How’s the Pitch?
In the two matches played at the venue this tournament, Melbourne Cricket Ground has provided significant movement for seam bowlers along with extra pace and bounce. It should make for a spicy contest. However, there’s a rain threat with a 70% chance of precipitation predicted for Friday.
Our Pick: There is not much to separate these two sides in the format. Both bat deep but Australia have a slightly better bowling attack to exploit the conditions. Back Australia to win the match at 1.80 odds.
Australian bowlers did a better job versus Sri Lanka than their first outing but their batting line-up hasn’t quite fired, especially David Warner and Mitchell Marsh. England have a few in-form bowlers but it’s their batting that has turned out to be an unlikely concern. The top four needs to do better if they are to win the game.
Keep an eye on..
David Warner would be desperate to make an impact after a couple of low scores. Amongst the best players in the format, Warner had smashed 73 off 44 against England before the world cup.
Jos Buttler has also had a couple of failures and would be eager to get going. In the series versus Australia before the tournament, Buttler had smashed a couple of quick fifties.
