AUS vs ENG 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second of three ODIs between Australia and England takes place at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday afternoon and evening. Australia began the series with a comfortable six wicket win in Adelaide on Thursday. They reached their target of 288 with 3.1 overs remaining. Read on as we preview the second ODI of the series. This game gets underway in Sydney at 14:20 local time.
Australia got off to an excellent start in both innings and outplayed England throughout the majority of the opening ODI. They are always a strong team in home conditions and they will be confident of securing the series in Sydney.
England were not at their best in Adelaide but we expect to see a more competitive showing in this ODI. There were good individual performances and they can never be ruled out in white ball cricket.

Australia Team News & Playing 11
AUS Team News
The hosts opted to select two spinners in Adelaide and we expect them to stick with the same team make-up and individuals for this game. Pace bowler Josh Hazlewood was rested in Adelaide and is predicted to come back in before the end of the series but probably not for this clash.
AUS Key Players
- David Warner- the left-handed opener has an excellent ODI record at the SCG. He averages 44.92 in his career but that goes up to 59.56 for games in Sydney.
- Steve Smith- the former skipper is considered to not have the power game for T20Is but the ODI format is much more suited to him. He scored 80 not out from 78 balls in Adelaide.
- Pat Cummins- the captain was expensive at times in the opening game of the series but picked up the wickets of top order players Phil Salt and James Vince.
AUS Team Form
Australia are targeting their fifth successive ODI victory in this game.

England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
Left-arm pace bowler Luke Wood, who made his international debut in Pakistan during the IT20 series in September, made his ODI debut in Thursday’s defeat in Adelaide. Plenty of England’s T20 World Cup winners were rested for the opening match and we expect England to be unchanged in this game.
ENG Key Players
- Jos Buttler- the skipper hit 29 runs from 34 balls in the opening game of the series. He has the game to be destructive in any format on any surface.
- Dawid Malan- the left-handed batter never seems to be sure of his place in England’s side irrespective of the format. He hit 12 fours and four sixes and will be looking to prove himself once again in this match.
- Chris Jordan- the right arm pace bowler is always a reliable player for his country. He came in for the semi-final and final during the T20 World Cup and he never lets England down.
ENG Team Form
England have lost three of their last four ODIs.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Dawid Malan, James Vince, Jos Buttler (c) (wk), Sam Billings, Liam Dawson, David Willey, Chris Jordan, Luke Wood, Olly Stone

Who will win Australia vs England 2nd T20 Match?
England slumped to 31-3 and 66-4 before recovering to post a competitive total on Thursday. They will need more runs from their top order to really trouble Australia in this ODI.
🏆 Australia vs England Prediction
Australia got on top early in the opening game and did not let England’s top order settle in Adelaide. With a powerful bowling unit, Australia will always cause problems early on and we expect their bowlers to be dangerous here again. For that reason we are backing Australia to win the game and go 2-0 up in the series.
