David Warner vs Jofra Archer

David Warner played a brilliant knock in the first game but was troubled and dismissed by Jofra Archer in the second match. The Australian batsmen will play a crucial part in determining the game's result but need to get past Archer’s pace and accuracy in the opening part of the clash.

Dawid Malan vs Adam Zampa

Dawid Malan has been the most consistent English batsmen post lockdown and has continued his form in this series as well. The 33-year-old has scored good runs in his previous two games and the onus of stopping him from doing that will be on Adam Zampa. The spinner hasn’t enjoyed a great series but will look to put on a great performance in the final game.

Eoin Morgan vs Pat Cummins

The England captain has been underwhelming this series but his batting prowess wasn’t much needed by the national team. However, with a number of changes expected by the home team, Morgan could play a huge role in this game. Pat Cummins has IPL on his mind but has been poor during this series and will be looking to put on a great performance in this game.
