ENG beat AUS by 3 wickets | Australia vs England, Highlights And Cricket Score 1st ODI Match
Australia in England, 5 ODI Series, 2018
Date: Jun 13, 2018 Start Time: 17:30 IST | 12:00 GMT | 13:00 LocalVenue: The Oval, London
England and Australia face-off in a five-match ODI series and a one-off T20I in June. Australia’s England tour kicks-off with ODI series, first of which starts on June 13. While home side England will be looking to bounce back from the shock defeat against Scotland earlier this week, Australia will be looking to rekindle after the ball-tampering scandal that saw them lose some Steven Smith and David Warner due to the one-year suspensions.
Meanwhile, England captain Eoin Morgan is confident that his side can learn the lessons of their shock six-run loss to Scotland in Edinburgh on Sunday in time for the series against Australia. "A one-off game like this, to bring your best game is very difficult to do, they played well and deserved the result. "It's not the end of the world for us, it was a really good run out and good to have a practice coming into the series against Australia. The level of expectation has been high around the team for a while, it doesn't get higher than being number one in the world, said Morgan.
"I don't think we were far away, we go to a ground now that we know really well in The Oval, and we'll be up for the challenge." Morgan, however, accepted they had been well below the standard needed to win in what was their first 50-over match of the British season.
"We were miles off where we expect to be and didn't do enough to win. The way we played, we didn't deserve to win it. We might have scraped past them and won, but there were still quite a few mistakes made that we need to rectify and learn from ahead of the Australia series. We didn't do enough to win if we had won it would have been a bonus from where we were," added the former Ireland batsman.

Moeen Ali bags the Man of the Match award! Says that it's great to win the game and praises all the bowlers. On bowling inside the Powerplay, he replies that you need to understand the mindset of the batsmen. Adds that he concentrated on the line and mixed his pace. Admits it's tough to bowl to batters who sweep well but also feels you always got a chance to pick wickets. Says that he has one format to concentrate at the moment and is happy with the way things are going at the moment.
The English captain, Eoin Morgan is very pleased, especially with his bowlers and feels his spinners turned the game for them. Adds that it's great to see them doing well as a unit. Praises Moeen Ali for his bowling in the Powerplay. Admits that they took the lesson from the loss against Scotland. Feels that the big positive from today is that they were way off the mark with the bat but a couple of partnerships did it for them. On his batting, he replies that it's nice to get some momentum going. On Joe Root, Morgan says that he is a genius, very calm at the crease and is a huge part of their team and English cricket. Wants to improve more with the ball and on the batting front wants more partnerships from his batters.
The Aussie skipper, Tim Paine admits that it was always difficult to defend this total against England who bat really deep. Praises his bowlers for fighting hard. Further says that they lack international experience but have got good white-ball skills. Feels that England played out their spinners better than they played the English spinners. Adds that you win the games when your top 4-5 do the job and they faltered today. Lauds the batting effort of Glenn Maxwell and says that he was hitting the ball well in the nets. Again admits that defending 214 against the number one team was never going to be easy.
Australia lost this game largely due to their batting failure. You cannot fault their bowling at all. In fact, their bowlers should be praised for stretching the game this far and also giving a scare to the English team. Billy Stanlake impressed the most while the debutant, Michael Neser was also decent in his first outing. Overall, as mentioned above, it was a good bowling effort by the visitors but they didn't have enough runs on the board. Had it not been for the Maxwell-Agar partnership, they would not have even posted a score in excess of 150. Stay tuned for the presentation...
An easy win in the end for England! It was supposed to be a straightforward win for them but they chose the tougher route. Their chase started on a wrong note as they lost their top three wickets quite cheaply. Then, Joe Root and Eoin Morgan combined to raise a 115-run stand which almost put the chase to bed. Although Australia tried to claw their way back by forcing a mini-collapse post that partnership, Moeen Ali and David Willey made sure that the hosts didn't lose their way and cross the line safely. A special mention for Willey, who finally showed his worth with the willow and got his best ODI score.
