ENG vs AUS: Stats Preview ahead of the 1st England vs Australia ODI at Trent Bridge
The first ODI game between England and Australia will be played at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on Thursday
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.
