England hasn't been playing well in recent months, and Australia is missing some key players. As a result, we anticipate a close contest between both teams that could come down to the wire. However, we provide Australia a slight advantage because they have a stronger batting lineup with plenty of depth. Australia also appears to consistently attend ICC events. Considering the team combination, Australia is expected to win this match.
