Australia are favorites to win
The 2021-22 Men’s Ashes Series comes to a conclusion with a day-night Test at the Blundstone Arena beginning on Friday afternoon. Australia were 1 wicket away from winning in Sydney and can now only win 4-0. England showed real character to escape with a draw at the SCG and will be targeting a win in this Test. Read on as we preview this game. The Test match begins in Hobart, Tasmania at 14:30 local time.
Australia were on top for large periods in the Fourth Test at the SCG but ultimately could not dislodge the final England batter. They will be very focused with the 4-0 prize available.
England put in their best performance of the series in Sydney but were still far below Australia’s level. They should be competitive but face a very tough task to win this match.
Channel 7 will show the series live in Australia with BT Sport having the rights for the UK. SonyLiv in India, Supersport in South Africa and Willow TV in the USA will also broadcast the series.

Although there is always a temptation to bowl first in a day-night Test, we expect both captains to choose to bat first in this match.
The Hobart pitch was a fast bowlers’ dream in the last Test played at the venue. We expect more of the same with pace bowlers dominating in this Test.
There is rain forecast over the opening three days of the Test with the temperature topping 24 degrees over the course of the game.

After missing the Sydney Test to follow isolation protocols, Travis Head will return to the Australia XI in this Test. We expect opener Marcus Harris to make way with double-centurion Usman Khawaja moving up the order to open in Tasmania.
Australia have outplayed England with bat and ball but there were a few signs of fatigue in the Fourth Test.
David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Scott Boland, Nathan Lyon.
Joe Root’s side are expected to make our changes to their side ahead of this Test in Hobart. Rory Burns will replace Haseeb Hameed at the top of the order. Sam Billings will make his debut as wicket-keeper with Chris Woakes and Ollie Robinson expected to return.
England have prevented a 5-0 series whitewash for the second successive Ashes Tour but are nowhere near the same level as their opponents.
Zak Crawley, Rory Burns, Dawid Malan, Joe Root (c), Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Billings (wk), Chris Woakes, Ollie Robinson, Mark Wood, Stuart Broad
This is the first time an Ashes Test has been played in Tasmania.
| Matches Played | AUS Won | ENG Won | Tie | Draw | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 355 | 149 | 110 | 0 | 96 |
| Hobart | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Last 5 | 5 | 3 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
Australia are strong favourites to end the series with another win.
Usman Khawaja will be targeting another century in this Test with Jonny Bairstow looking to follow-up his strong performance in Sydney also.
Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are our recommendations with the bat for Australia. Khawaja is a very patient batter who is well suited to Test cricket.
For England, our batting tips are Joe Root, Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow. All three have shown fight and talent with the bat during the series already..
Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Scott Boland are our picks for Australia with the ball. All three should enjoy bowling with the pink ball in Hobart.
Stuart Broad, Ollie Robinson and Mark Wood are our bowling recommendations for England. Wood has regularly had Australia’s batters hopping on the crease due to his pace.
The weather conditions in Hobart may be more what England’s players are used to and could well be a leveller for this Final Test of the series. However, Australia are an exceptional Test side at home and particularly with a pink ball. We are predicting a home win.
