Australia vs England
T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 1 Prediction & Tips
Time: 28 Oct, 01:30 PM (IST)
Series: T20 World Cup Super 12 Group 1
Venue: Melbourne Cricket Ground – Melbourne
Info:
Jos Buttler hit scores of 68 and 65 not out against Australia earlier this month and England’s skipper is our pick for their highest run scorer in this fixture. Mark Wood has been in fantastic form since returning from injury last month and the pace bowler is well worth backing as England’s top wicket taker against Australia.
David Warner has hit the highest T20I score of any player at the MCG and he is our tip for Australia’s highest run scorer against England. With the ball, Mitchell Starc has 71 wickets in this format and the left-arm pace bowler is a strong choice for Australia’s top wicket taker in this match.
We recommend backing Mark Wood to take over 1.5 wickets in this clash.

Weather & Pitch Report:
⛅ Weather:
It will be cloudy from start to finish in Melbourne for this game and there will be a chance of rain arriving at some point.
🏟️ Pitch:
There is assistance in the pitch for pace bowlers and, with long boundaries, batters can often get caught out when going for big shots. We expect a par score of over 170.
Toss Prediction:
80% of the last 10 games in this format at this venue have seen the team fielding first win the match. We predict that both sides will want to bat second in this game.

TEAM NEWS:
AUS Team News:
Spinner Adam Zampa had to miss the clash with Sri Lanka after going down with illness on the evening before the game. Although he had recovered a bit by the time of the match, he was not risked but we expect him to come back into the side for Ashton Agar in this game.
ENG Team News:
There were no changes to England’s XI ahead of their defeat to Ireland which meant that Mark Wood, who is often rested, was picked again. With England unable to afford a defeat in this match, we expect Wood to again be selected for this crucial contest.

Winning Chances:
Whenever England and Australia go head to head in any format, there is always plenty of attention from cricket fans across the globe. Both teams can not really afford to lose this match which puts additional pressure on the players. We are predicting a close game with Australia getting the victory.
Australia are favorites to beat England at the odds.
AUS Key Players:
David Warner
The left-handed opener has hit 2866 runs in this format since making his debut in January 2009. He has scored two half-centuries against England in his last five matches.
Marcus Stoinis
The batting all-rounder played an incredible inning against Sri Lanka to win the game for Australia. He hit 59 not out from 18 balls.
Mitchell Starc
The left-arm pace bowler got the wicket of Bhanuka Rajapaksa on Tuesday and has format-best figures of 4-20.
ENG Key Players:
Jos Buttler
The captain has begun this tournament with scores of 18 against Afghanistan and a duck against Ireland. He has been in excellent form during 2022 and we expect him to deliver in this match.
Dawid Malan

Mark Wood
As one of the quickest bowlers in the T20 World Cup 2022, he has a point of difference which produces regular wickets. He has taken 2-23 and 3-34 from his two T20 World Cup games this year.
