ENG vs AUS ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
England and Australia go head to head in Match 36 of the Cricket World Cup on Saturday in the third last group stage game for both sides. It has been a remarkably disappointing campaign for England who came into the tournament as the 2019 Cricket World Cup and 2023 T20 World Cup holders but are currently bottom of the table with only two points from six games. Australia have eight points from six fixtures and look well placed to finish in the top four. Read on as we preview this match. This day-night ODI gets underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad at 14:00 local time.
England have been very poor in this 2023 Cricket World Cup but they never need motivation for a fixture against Australia in any format. Although the team has performed to a very low level over the last month, England still have world class white ball players capable of beating the top tams.
Australia had a poor start to the tournament but have been getting better and better over recent matches and won a closely fought high-scoring contest in their last match. However, with two of their first-choice players out of this game, this will be a tough fixture.

ENG vs AUS Match Toss Prediction
This will be the third match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup in Ahmedabad with both of the previous games won by the team batting second. As a result, we predict that both skippers will choose to field first if they win the toss.
ENG vs AUS Pitch Report
The pitch at the Narendra Modi Stadium is an excellent batting wicket, as seen by India chasing down a target of 192 inside 31 overs in Match 12. We expect good pace and carry from the surface on Saturday.
We can expect a high-scoring game as both the sides are equipped with top class batters. Fast bowlers can try to get some wickets with good line and length. The 1st innings average score is around 285. The par score will be above 300.
Ahmedabad Weather Report
According to the forecast, it will be sunny with cloudy spells and a top temperature of 32 degrees in Ahmedabad on Saturday. No rain will fall across the match.

England Team News
With England almost guaranteed to not finish in the top four already, Jos Buttler’s side will be prioritising a top eight finish so as to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. There are no new injuries in the squad but young players Harry Brook and Gus Atkinson could well come in for this game.
England Key Players
- Dawid Malan - The left-handed top order batter has scored six hundreds and five half-centuries from his 27 ODI innings and hit 140 against Bangladesh in Match 7 of this tournament.
- Jonny Bairstow - The right-handed opener has been nowhere near his best in the Cricket World Cup 2023 but still averages 43.60 in this format from 95 innings.

- David Willey - The left-arm medium pace bowling all-rounder has a point to prove after missing out on a central contract in spite of taking combined figures of 5/75 from the last two games.
- Adil Rashid - The 36 year old dismissed both Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja in the last game and has now taken 2+ wickets in three of the last four matches.
- Chris Woakes- England’s pacer all-rounder Chris Woakes has picked 4 wickets so far in 5 matches and scored 44 runs. He can be a game changer for the team as we have seen him earlier doing the same against the Australian batting line-up. We are backing him to do so damage to the Aussies in this match.

Australia Team News
There will be at least two changes to the Australia XI from the team who beat New Zealand by 5 runs in Match 27. Glenn Maxwell is out after falling off the back of a golf buggy earlier in the week and Mitchell Marsh has gone home for a brief trip due to personal reasons.
Australia Key Players
- David Warner - Ahead of Friday’s game, the left-handed opener was one of only five batters to have hit over 400 runs in the tournament so far. He scored five fours and six sixes against New Zealand.
- Travis Head - The 29 year old top order batter has been patient with his return from injury but finally came into the team in the last game and smashed 109 runs from 67 balls.
