ENG vs AUS: Stats Preview ahead of the 1st England vs Australia ODI at Trent Bridge

ENG vs AUS 1st ODI Approaching Milestones: The first ODI match between England and Australia will kick off on September 18 (Thursday) at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. Both teams faced each other in a three-match T20I series which ended 1-1 after the final game was washed out due to rain. Australia won the first game while England showed a great fight to win the second match. But the ODI format will be a totally different ball game altogether.

England dealt with a blow when Jos Buttler had to be ruled out as he hasn't recovered completely from the injury. As a result, England appointed Harry as the stand-in captain. Brook will have a fairly young team to lead, which will be a challenge. On the other hand, Australia will welcome Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc, and Marcus Labuschagne to their ODI squad. That is why this is expected to be a great game. However, there are some key records and milestones which can be achieved in the first ENG vs AUS ODI clash at Trent Bridge.
