Australia Playing 11 vs England – ICC World Cup 2023, Match 36

Australia will be up against England in match 36 of the ICC World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad on Saturday, November 4. The match starts from 2 pm IST. A win for Australia in this game will take them a step closer to the semi-final berth.

Australia are on a four-match winning streak after losing their initial two games to India and South Africa. Their previous win was against New Zealand by five runs in a match where they scored 388 batting first.

The Aussie batters led by David Warner are in good form. Travis Head on his return to international cricket scored a ton against the Kiwis. With Warner, he formed a formidable opening stand against New Zealand and will look to follow it up against England.

Heading into this game, the Aussies will be missing Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh. While Maxwell is nursing a freak injury, Marsh has returned back home due to personal reasons. The Aussies will need to make a few replacements as they seek to find the right combination against England.

Marcus Stoinis
