ENG vs AUS 1st ODI: All you need to know, head to head, playing XI
England and Australia will kick off their five-match ODI series with the first match scheduled to take place on Thursday at Trent Bridge. The series promises to be a grand spectacle, with both teams boasting experienced players. However, the clash will see England stepping onto the field without their skipper, Jos Buttler, who has been sidelined due to an injury.
Buttler’s absence is a significant blow for England, as he has been a pivotal figure in their ODI setup. England will be missing his leadership, along with his explosive batting and sharp wicket-keeping. Young Harry Brook will lead England in Buttler’s absence as England look ahead to adapt quickly in his absence. There are other senior players, who will be needed to step up both in the batting lineup and bowling department.
In contrast, Australia will enter the series with a full-strength squad, boasting a lineup rich in experience and skill. The Australian team is packed with seasoned campaigners who have consistently performed at the highest level. The presence of Steve Smith, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc makes Australia even more challenging. This depth and experience could give the Aussies an edge, particularly in the absence of Buttler, who might have otherwise been a crucial opponent.
