Both the opening two ODIs went right to the wire with Australia holding their nerve to win the first game and take the lead. Aaron Finch’s men looked set to win the second ODI after another brilliant bowling performance. Australia were at 144/2 chasing 232 to win and clinch the series in the second ODI but lost eight wickets for only 63 runs to succumb to a 24-run loss. It was an excellent comeback with the ball by the England bowlers led by Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes.

Archer and Woakes dismantled the Australia batting order with a wonderful spell. Both took three wickets each for only 30 odd runs and helped England defend the low score. The pair were also helped by a brilliant captaincy from Eoin Morgan and some tight death-over bowling by Tom and Sam Curran.
Australia are expected to welcome back Steve Smith into the playing XI for the series decider. Smith sat out of the opening two matches due to a concussion after being struck on the head during a training session before the ODI series. Marcus Stoinis could make way for Smith. England are expected to go ahead with the same playing XI unless Mark Wood recovers from his injury. England have not lost an ODI series at home since 2015 and are unbeaten in their last 14 ODI series.
