Reigning champions England have won the toss and decided to bat first at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. The ENG vs AUS clash promises to be a thrilling encounter, with the defending champions likely to go all out after being knocked out of the tournament.
Australia have made two forced changes in their playing XI with Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green coming in for Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell. England have opted to go for the same side.
England have had a miserable World Cup defence, winning just 1 of their 6 matches and sitting at the bottom of the ICC World Cup points table. Jos Buttler's side have failed to beat the likes of Afghanistan and Sri Lanka.
Australia, on the other hand, have had a decent campaign so far and are favourites to reach the semi-finals of the marquee event. The Kangaroos have made a remarkable comeback from crushing defeats to India and Australia in the opening matches of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, winning 4 out of 4.
Aussies are missing the services of two key players for this encounter - Mitchell Marsh and Glenn Maxwell. While Maxwell is ruled out owing to an injury he suffered while playing golf, Marsh has gone back home to Perth for unknown reasons.
A victory against England in Ahmedabad will all but cement the Kangaroos' position in the semi-final of the ODI World Cup.

"I've got in my mind the main XI - the way that we want to play - but I'm really happy with our squad. We've shown throughout this tournament, we've been able to mix up the batting order and anyone that's come in has stepped up and done really well," Cummins added

ENG vs AUS Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Cummins said, "I mean, it's a two-month tournament. You wouldn't want to be in a position where, say, somewhere like a team like New Zealand have had some injuries and luckily, they've been able to hold someone like Kane in the squad but if suddenly you had to rule him out - that wouldn't be good for a cricket or a World Cup.

"It is also awesome to have Heady and Mitch there as well because it allows that pressure to keep being put back onto the opposition," Warner added.

England vs Australia Live: Former captain Michael Atherton tore into English side for what he called a “disastrous defence of the title,". Speaking at a ICC podcast, Atherton said, "I think most people could accept a team that played pretty decent cricket and just came up short. That happens in sport. There is no divine right to win every game, no divine right to win these competitions, and England have been very good for a long time. But it's the way England have just been hammered. If you look at the defeats, five of them have been by unbelievable margins. I don't think anybody saw that coming, and it is very difficult to understand,"

England vs Australia Live: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Aussie skipper Patt Cummins said, "Maxi's hopeful for the clash against Afghanistan, so he'll just miss this one. But he's trained well yesterday and still taking it day by day, but hoping he'll just miss this one.
