The 3rd ODI match of England’s tour of Australia, in 2022 is scheduled to be held on Tuesday, 22nd November 2022 at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.

Australia won this home series of three ODI matches against England after losing the T20 series. Australia had outclassed England in batting and bowling. The batters of Australia had shown a lot of patience and had spent a good time on the crease and the bowlers of the home side also had been good. Australia has a golden opportunity to win this match and had a clean sweep against the world champions of the white ball.

Australia is trying to get a good set of players for the upcoming ODI World Cup. England rested its main players and also rotated the batting order in both ODI matches they had played. We are also expecting that England will also make some changes in the playing eleven of this match. Australia is coming to this match as a favorite team but England should win this match at any cost to avoid the whitewash.

Australia played traditional cricket in this home series against England. The batters of Australia had shown their power and experience in this series. Steve Smith and David Warner had been just outstanding in this tournament. Both batters had played good innings. Steve Smith had scored 174 runs in both matches and remained not out. It shows his good form. Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne are two other batters who had been good in this series and are in superb form. The conditions in Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne are flat and good for batting and we can see another high-scoring match. Australia won the toss and decided to bat first in the second ODI match. The batters of Australia were good once again and scored a total of 280 runs in 50 overs. Travis Head was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side scoring 94 runs and 114 balls with the help of five boundaries and one huge six.

Marnus Labuschagne was the other batter who put some runs on the board in the previous match. He scored 58 runs on 55 balls and smashed four boundaries and one huge six. Mitchell Marsh was the other batter who scored some big runs in the previous match. He scored 50 runs while he faced 59 balls and smashed two boundaries and the same huge sixes during his inning. Travis Head scored 19 runs. The bowling unit of Australia also had good in this series. Mitchell Starc performed well in both matches we think that he will not the part of playing eleven for this match as Australia is also working on a rotation policy. Josh Hazelwood and Pat Cummins are other bowlers who had been outstanding. Adam Zampa had been the best bowler in both previous matches. Australia sends the full team of England back to the pavilion on a total of 208 runs in 38.5 overs while defending the target of 281 runs. Adam Zampa was the most successful bowler from their side who picked four wickets in 9.5 overs against 45 runs. Mitchell Starc also picked up two wickets while he was charged with 47 runs in eight overs. Josh Hazlewood picked two wickets while Ashton Agar, Marcus Stoinis, and Mitchell Marsh remained wicketless.

England had made a lot of changes in the playing eleven for both previous matches and they had still played with aggression. England still has to take risks to avoid a whitewash. We know that England had lost both previous matches by a big margin and we think that they will also make some changes in the playing eleven of this match. Jason Roy is in terrible form and we are sure that he will play a good inning in this match. England has more depth in batting but they were not good in both matches. The bowling unit of England also failed to give the best performance in the previous match as they were asked to field first after losing the toss. They leaked 280 runs in 50 overs. Adil Rashid had been good in both matches and he was the highest wicket-taker in the previous match. He picked up three wickets in 10 overs against 57 runs.

Chris Woakes also performed well in the previous match and picked up two wickets in 10 overs against 42 runs. David Willey was the other bowler with two wickets to his name in nine overs while he was charged with 44 runs. Moeen Ali picked one wicket in four overs against 24 runs while no other bowler from their side could manage to pick any wicket. Liam Dawson and Sam Curran were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket in the previous match. The batting order of England totally collapsed in the previous match. Their full team came back to the pavilion with a total of 208 runs in just 38.5 overs while chasing the target of 281 runs. Sam Billings was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side scoring 71 runs on 80 balls with the help of three boundaries and two huge sixes. James Vince also performed well and scored some runs. He scored 60 runs while he faced 72 balls and smashed three boundaries and two huge sixes. Philip Salt scored 23 runs while Liam Dawson could manage to score 20 runs.
