AUS vs ENG Preview

England will look for an improved bowling performance than the one they put in against Scotland where the Scottish side posted 90/0 in 10 overs before rain forced the match to be abandoned. Scottish openers George Munsey and Michael Jones had given the England bowlers a lot to think about so you would imagine an Aussie lineup boasting the likes of David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell and Travis Head would be a handful to deal with.

Australia are coming into the match after a well-earned victory against a game Oman where Warner and Stoinis starred with half-centuries while Nathan Elis and Adam Zampa shored up the bowling department. With Pat Cummins likely to come back to the team for this match, England has a mountain to climb against their arch-rivals.

Kensington Oval Pitch Report

The pitch at the Kensington Oval is a decent track for batters in the first innings, setting the stage for a moderate-scoring game. Fast bowlers will find extra zip off the surface, while spinners will find plenty of turns. Given the stats—16 wins for teams batting first out of 26 matches—the captain winning the toss will likely choose to bat first.

Who will win today match between Australia and England (17th match of T20 World Cup 2024)?

In the 23 AUS vs ENG head-to-head meetings in T20Is, England hold the edge with the 11 wins against Australia, who have won 10 encounters.
In the last 5 meetings, however, England has won 3 with one match ending in No Result and the other in Australia’s favour.
In the last 5 years, these two teams met 7 times in T20I. England have a lead of 5-1 over Australia.
Last time these two teams met in a T20 World Cup match was in 2021. England won the match by 8 wickets.

Records are fully favouring England. Still, England’s bowling would be a concern against a huge Australian batting line-up. Moreover, this match’s condition will favour Australia.
