Australia Team News & Playing 11
Aaron Finch's masterclass knock of 107 and twin fifties from middle-order batsmen Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis powered Australia to a formidable 304 in the opening game. While the Aussies will want the trio to continue their good form, they will also expect a good innings from David Warner who has an ODI average of 47 at the Gabba. With Pat Cummins rested and Josh Hazlewood ruled out due to illness, it will be up to Mitchell Starc (2-71 in ten overs) to provide the early breakthroughs. It will be crucial that Andrew Tye, who was the most economical Australian bowler at the MCG, lends good support to Starc.

England Team News & Playing 11
Jason Roy was England's real hero in the first ODI. The opener steered his team to victory with a record-breaking knock of 180 - the highest-ever individual score by an England batsman in ODIs. Joe Root played second-fiddle to Roy with an unbeaten 91. Both these batsmen will be the key once again. Liam Plunkett and Adil Rashid took five wickets between themselves while Moeen Ali conceded just 39 runs off his ten overs. While the visitors will want them to replicate that performance here, they will also have high hopes on Chris Woakes who has a six-wicket haul at the Gabba.

Australia vs England 2nd ODI Prediction
England did well to put their Ashes drubbing behind them and conjure up a stunning performance in the first ODI to take a 1-0 lead in the series. But will they be able to capitalize on the momentum they have gained? Australia are definitely under some pressure here but they are a team that is known to hit back hard at the opposition after being put under the pump. Moreover, their recent ODI record at the Gabba has been phenomenal with nine wins in the last ten matches. Though the visitors will be all pumped up at the moment, we feel the hosts will regroup and come up with a series-leveling performance on Friday.
Final Verdict: Back Australia to beat England in the second ODI at 1.64 on betfair, 1.61 on Bet365, 1.57 on Betway and 1.62 each on Unibet and 10Cric.
