The Australian Cricket Team has been dealt a huge blow as Matthew Wade has tested positive for Covid-19. The wicket-keeper batter has been quite pivotal to the setup. The left-handed batter is famous for his T20 World Cup 2021 Semi-Final Knock against Pakistan where he took World Cricket by storm.
The Aussies are coming back off a thumping victory against Sri Lanka where they showed a lot of intent. Marcus Stoinis, the flamboyant all-rounder registered the fastest half-century (17 balls) by an Australian batter. The peculiarity of his knock was that he didn’t allow the bowlers to settle.

Dynamic all-rounder Glenn Maxwell was spotted doing wicket-keeping. There are chances that the management make him the wicket-keeper for the England clash as Josh Inglis ruled of the tournament.

Crucial Contest for Australia
Australia’s NRR is -1.555 where they have to win big to make it against mighty England. According to some reports, there are chances that Wade can still play for the match; it would be interesting to see how the things unfold. If he doesn’t play then the youngster Cameron Green will most likely replace him as he can provide some lusty blows.
England on the other side would be in a state of shock after losing to Ireland. Their batting approach would be questioned as they didn’t play aggressive cricket. England vs Australia match is considered to be a mouth-watering contest as both the teams would be aware that a win would take them one step closer to the Semi-Final.
