    Australia VS England Australia VS England

    The top contenders for this year's championship include Australia and England. England, led by Buttler, is the favourite even though Australia is the defending champion and playing at home.

    The Kangaroos have several issues heading into the contest, which they would like to address before the game begins. Their captain Aaron Finch is ranked number one. He struggled against Pakistan, and considering his recent performances, his spot in the team is very questionable. The form of Mitchell Marsh is the other issue.

    The Three Lions, on the other hand, would have to consider Harry Brooks, who has struggled to sustain in Australia. The player has only scored 82 runs at an average of 7.5 and a strike rate of 84.5 in his eleven T20 innings in Australia. As a result, he would be the weak link for his team in the game.

    Australia Players to watch

    1. Mitchell Marsh: All-rounder performance is much awaited on Australian soil. He can be a game-changer and pick of the batter from Australia.

    2. Josh Hazlewood: Most experienced bowler in the Australian side, with complete control over his line and length, is the pick of the bowler.

    England Players to watch

    1. Jos Buttler is an exciting prospect to keep an eye on. He is among the active T20I players who have scored the most runs for England. In 99 T20I games, the keeper-batter has scored 2395 runs at an average of 33.26 and a strike rate of 143.58.

     2. Sam Curran: He can take five wickets and is consistent with his line and length.

    Match Prediction

    In terms of squad strength, both teams are evenly matched. England is predicted to win today's match despite the fact that England has won three games against Australia in this format.
