Exclusive Team News
England will play this match without changing their playing eleven. Jason Roy, the English opener who is struggling to find his form will most likely play this game, as Morgan believes that Jason may bounce back at any time, and it will favor the team to mark a win against the mighty Aussies.
Jake Ball, Mark Wood, and Liam Plunkett will lead the bowling attack of the English team.
Due to rain and adverse weather conditions, Australia has not completed an innings so far in this tournament. The team had limited chance to assess the batting dept, but in all probabilities, Chris Lynn will make his way into the playing eleven.
David Warner and Aaron Finch will open the innings for the Kangaroos, and they will be followed by skipper Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, and Glenn Maxwell.
