England and Australia square off in the 3rd ODI of the 3-matches ODI series at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Team Preview

England snatched the victory from the jaws of the defeat in the second ODI to level the series 1-1 and took the series into the decider. England are the strongest side at home and they haven’t lost a single bilateral ODI series in the last 4-5 years. After a disappointing batting in the 2nd game, the bowlers saved the series defeat. They made a perfect comeback when Australia were 144/2, in the chase of 232. Archer and Sam Curran delivered breakthroughs with some terrific deliveries. England won the match by 26 runs and Archer declared man of the match.

In the opening game, Australia won by 19 runs after a fighting knock of Sam Billings. Both sides have some slight concerns but England have more as they made errors in both games. Australia will see Steve Smith at top-order and Stoinis might be dropped. Morgan will go with the same eleven. The decider game would be more thrilling as the Old Trafford is providing decent cricketing conditions.

Pitch Report

Old Trafford, Manchester is offering help to spinners in the game, as we saw with Zampa and Rashid. It’s a good batting track if batsmen avoid unwanted errors against the new ball and the spin. Chasing might be tricky so batting first is an ideal call.  The weather is pretty good in Manchester on Wednesday, a perfect ODI conditions.
