AUS vs ENG, 1st ODI Preview

A three-match ODI series between Australia and England gets underway on Thursday afternoon at the Adelaide Oval. This will be Australia’s first ODI since beating New Zealand 3-0 in early September. England drew their last series 1-1 with South Africa. Australia were unfortunate to be eliminated from the T20 World Cup at the group stage but have been in excellent form against all teams in ODIs. They are never an easy team to beat on home soil in any format. England will still be on a high after their T20 World Cup triumph but this game may come too soon and there could well be some fatigue in the squad. Motivation could be an issue and the opposition are also very talented.
