Australia will be taking on England in Narendra Modi stadium in Ahmedabad in the Day/night match of the ODI World Cup 2023 on the 4th of November. The two teams have a lot to play for in the match. While Australia has some injuries and big players missing out, England’s biggest concern would be their batters, who seem to be completely out of nick.
The two teams have played 6 matches in the tournament so far. Australia had a bad start to their tournament, as they lost their first two matches against India and South Africa respectively. Just a loss would have ensured a mental damage to Australia. That was when they came back and won the last 4 matches in the tournament. The winning streak of Australia is still intact.
On the other hand, England had a decent start to their campaign. Despite losing to New Zealand in the first match in Ahmedabad, England won comfortably against Bangladesh in Dharamshala. What followed since then has been unimaginable. In their last 4 matches, England has lost all 4 matches, and in each of those instances, they have been bowled out under 200 runs.
