England vs Australia Team Preview

England

The last day of play was postponed due to severe weather, despite England’s excellent performance in Manchester last week. As a result, they did not declare early enough to force a decision. With a victory at The Oval, they will believe they are entitled to tie the series. 

Going into the last Test of this five-match series, Ben Stokes’ team believes they are in the lead. Stuart Broad has participated in all four games, but depending on how he feels physically before the game, his spot might be in jeopardy.

Australia

Australia already holds the Ashes and won the World Test Championship Final; to win the series, they simply need to avoid losing. It will be difficult to defeat this England team, though.

When England’s batters were driving the ball to all four corners during the Old Trafford Test and the visiting squad lacked a recognizable spinner, the Australian selectors came under considerable fire. To choose the untested Todd Murphy for this match, though, would be a huge shock.

We predict that if either skipper wins the toss before this game, they will opt to bowl first because cloudy weather is anticipated throughout the Test.

Only Day Four of the Oval Test is expected to be totally rain-free at this time. There should be enough time to observe a result, although it might just be a passing rain.

No matter the format, there have been many top scores at The Oval this season. In the first inning, a par score will be between 350 and 400.
