England lost the match. No one expected this result once the match was started. Aussie played a good game and come back strongly in the match. For the first time England are losing the series by 0-1. Let's see how they come back in the next match or is this their first series loss after the covid ?

This match will boost the confidence of the Australian players as they played the match without Steve Smith and able to perform really well in the middle order even though the top order failed miserably and was reduced for 123 and half the side was in the dressing room and i never thought they would recover but Marsh and Maxwell played incredible well and the Australian bowlers did the rest of the job to trouble the England batsman.

Well as I said in the T20 thread, I thought that Australia winning the third T20 match would give them some momentum going into the ODI series and also that the team had 3 games under their belt after not playing for so long where as England has played a lot of cricket in the last couple of months and it shows with this victory. Australia looked in trouble early on but the middle order performed very well, Marsh and Maxwell had great games with the bat and helped Australia reach 294 which I thought was a good score at the time. England also started poorly but again it was the middle order that helped them get close to Australia more so the great knock by Billings scoring a century. This should be a good fought out series, lets see if England can bounce back.
