Australia
The AUS vs ENG 3rd ODI starts at 2.20 pm local time. Australia, having won the series might give opportunities to Sean Abbott and Josh Inglish both of who are yet to play a game in the series. Pat Cummins, who rested in the previous game might make a comeback in the XI as well.
The Australian top-order has got runs in this series. David Warner, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, and Mitchell Marsh all have scored the fifties in the series so far. Their bowlers have been clinical as well in the first two games. They would like to finish with another good performance as a batting group.
Australia Squad
Pat Cummins (capt), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa
England
England have been thoroughly outplayed in the first two games. In two venues with good batting conditions, England have scored below-par totals. Apart from Dawid Malan, no other England batter has gotten any sizeable score so far in the series. The opening partnership has been another major problem. Jason Roy has scored 6 and o in the first two games and might be dropped with Jos Buttler returning to the side.
The retirement of Ben Stokes has disturbed the balance of the side. He recently played a big part in England’s T20 World Cup win with an unbeaten 52 and in the final. He also took six wickets in the tournament as well including one in the final. The bowlers will need to step up if England are to avoid a whitewash in Melbourne. The side has failed to translate their T20I template into ODIs, particularly in this series.
England Squad
Jos Buttler (capt), Moeen Ali, Sam Billings, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Chris Jordan, Dawid Malan, Adil Rashid, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Olly Stone, James Vince, David Willey, Chris Woakes, Luke Wood.
