Cricket rivals Australia, and England are set to lock horns in an exciting T20 World Cup 2024 match at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, on Saturday.
Kangaroos enters today game with confidence after a strong win against Oman. Despite missing key players like Mitch Marsh, Cameron Green, and Pat Cummins, the yellow storm secured comfortable victory by 24 runs.
However, there is speculation about Glenn Maxwell’s inclusion in the playing XI due to his recent form struggles. Cameron Green might replace him, providing depth in batting and bowling. Pat Cummins could also return to bolster the bowling attack. The focus will be on Australia’s batting, especially David Warner and Marcus Stoinis, known for their aggressive batting.
England had disappointing start with a rain-affected match against Scotland ending in a no-result. Their bowlers, including Chris Jordan and Adil Rashid, were expensive, conceding over 50 runs together.
England will rely on their batting strength, including Jos Buttler and Ben Stokes, to counter Australia’s bowling attack. However, they need their bowlers like Chris Woakes and Sam Curran to step up against Australia’s formidable lineup.
