Australia tour of England 2024

ENG vs AUS, 3rd ODI

Preview 

England will take the field against Australia in a must-win encounter on Tuesday, September 24, at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le Street, as the third ODI of the five-match series approaches.

Led by Harry Brook in the absence of their regular skipper Jos Butler, the hosts have failed to match the expectations having been routed in the opening two ODIs. Brendon McCullum’s tenure as white ball head coach hasn’t started the ball rolling, with the Three Lions struggling to find their foothold. 

After losing the series opener, England again fell short in the second ODI. Now, they must come up with something better in the third ODI to keep the series alive.

In the second match, Australia posted 270 after being asked to bat. Brydon Carse was the top performer for England, claiming 3/75, while Adil Rashid, Matthew Potts, and Jacob Bethell contributed with two scalps apiece. 

England in reply could only muster 202 runs as Mitchel Starc, Aaron Hardie and Josh Hazelwood chipped in with valuable wickets. 

Australia will be keen to continue their unbeaten and gain an unassailable 3-0 lead. England on the other hand would rely on the likes of Phil Salt, Ben Duckett and Will Jacks to come good with bat in hand. Skipper Harry Brook would also like to get some runs under his belt. In the bowling department, the hosts will count on Potts, Rashid and Carse. 

Ahead of this mouthwatering clash, let us look at how the two sides will fare on Tuesday.
