England humbled the visitors in the 4th ODI at Lord’s. They not only outplayed the Australians with the bat but were brutal with their bowling attack as well. Skipper Harry Brook is in fine touch in the middle order and is leading the batting lineup quite well.
Australia, with some of the biggest stars in one-day international cricket, were underwhelming in their performances. The pace trio of Hazlewood, Starc, and Abbott failed to put the hosts under pressure.
Adam Zampa, a key figure in this bowling attack was the target of the English middle order as they went after him every time he came to bowl. Being bowled out for 126 runs while chasing 313 in a 39-over game is a huge disappointment.
Australians are known for their never-say-die attitude and we expect them to bounce back strongly in this game. On the other hand, England will be confident coming to Bristol with most of their key players finding their rhythm.

Harry Brook instilled confidence in his team with his maiden hundred in the 3rd ODI. His partner in that match-winning 3rd wicket stand was out cheaply in the 4th match but opener Ben Duckett stepped up this time around and led a great fight.
The two didn’t let any of the Aussie bowlers settle and especially, Adam Zampa. Their approach to batting set the momentum for the innings and the lower middle order players who followed built on the foundations set by these two.
Liam Livingstone’s unbeaten 62 off 27 balls at number 6 sent out a clear message to the visitors. This English team cannot be taken lightly. They may not have plenty of experience, but there is no dearth of talent in this side.
Jamie Smith and Jacob Bethell are also some of the young and talented batters who’ve been fearless in their batting. Jofra Archer is leading the pace attack and with promising bowlers like Brydon Carse and Matt Potts, Brook will be confident of a series win as England take the field at the County Ground in Bristol.
The weather is the only thing that can come in between England and a series win. England have delivered some strong performances in this series but failed to win early on. These recent wins will boost the team morale and they should pose a tough challenge to Australia in the final ODI.

The world champions have got all it takes to beat any team in the world. They’ve got Travis Head at the top, Smith at number 3, Labuschagne in the middle, and Maxwell as the finisher in the batting order.
It can’t get better than this. There is plenty of experience and talent in this side. Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood are the top bowlers in Australia in all formats. And if these two start struggling to find breakthroughs, these are alarming signs.
Another key wicket-taker for Australia is the leggie Adam Zampa. He was the one England decided to target from the get-go. The Australian bowling attack was neutralized by the opposition who decided to attack their main bowlers.
Australia are the current world champions and they won’t go down without a fight. They are known for their ability to bounce back. Starc should lead the comeback with the ball while Travis Head and Mitchell Marsh need to set the tone with a strong opening partnership.
A strong start is half the job done. There are many experienced players further down the order with Labuschagne, Alex Carey, and Maxwell who can deliver big and take Australia to a competitive score.

The weather forecast isn’t very promising for the match day in Bristol. There will be rain and wind throughout the day. Unlike at Lord’s where 11 overs were reduced from both innings, in Bristol the weather conditions might result in an abandoned match.
It is a great wicket for batting. The average 1st innings score in ODIs at this venue is 241 runs. However, there have been many high-scoring matches here and we expect the pitch to offer plenty of help for the batters in this match as well. With the weather around, the bowlers will also find some movement through the air and we should have an even contest between bat and ball.
The team winning the toss has opted to bowl in the last 3 matches of this series. At this venue in Bristol, 18 of the 37 ODIs went in favor of the team bowling first. The highest score chased on this ground was 359 runs by England against Pakistan in 2019.
If the weather permits, it will be a great contest between these two teams. Though Australia are a lot stronger in comparison given their list of experienced and world-cup winning players, England’s current form and familiarity with the conditions puts them slightly ahead in our match prediction. England will start as favorites to win.
