England vs Australia Match Prediction, 1st ODI- Who will win today’s match between Eng vs Aus?

Who will win today’s match between Eng vs Aus: England and Australia will be up against each other at Trent Bridge on 19th September in the 1st ODI of the 5-match ODI series. This match will take place in Nottinghamshire, where batters enjoy batting due to flat tracks, though pacers also get some assistance here due to some amount of grass. After a blockbuster T20I series that ended in a tie with a scoreline of 1-1, the 1st one-day international at Trent Bridge can be expected to be a run-fest as batters from both sides are in red-hot form. The Trent Bridge ODI record suggests that teams that batted second have won more matches here compared to first-batting sides.  

So it can be said that “toss” will also play a crucial role in the outcome of this match. With Captain Marsh, Travis Head, and Josh English, destroying bowlers, Australia can try to take a chance and bat first to set a huge target and put the scoreboard pressure on England. On the other hand, England will try to do the same by going against the stream, as they lack experience in the batting line-up, due to the absence of Josh Buttler, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes. Considering the fact that both teams can go with the same strategy, it will be interesting to see who will win today’s match between Eng vs Aus.
