Australia vs England: Match Preview
After suffering a crushing defeat against New Zealand in the first match of the tournament, Australia made a comeback with a win against Sri Lanka in Perth on 25 October. After a slow start from Australia, the target of 158 runs seemed difficult to chase.
All-rounder, Marcus Stoinis came and he played an unbeaten inning of 59 runs in 18 balls and achieved the target in 16.3 overs. Now the Australian team will hope that Stoinis will do the same charisma against England.
England would like to make a comeback after the loss to Ireland
England won their first match easily against Afghanistan. They had to face defeat against Ireland. On Wednesday 26 October, England suffered a five-run defeat by the Duckworth-Lewis method due to rain in the match.
