AUS vs ENG Match Prediction & Analysis
Whenever Australia and England go head to head in any sport, there is plenty at stake and this game will be no different as both look to get off to a winning start in Group B of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
There is an Ashes series on the horizon for late in the year but all focus will be on this clash in Lahore as both sides look to put poor recent ODI performances and poor ICC Champions Trophy showing behind them.
Australia may have won the last Cricket World Cup but they are without their top three pace bowlers in Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood so their attack may lack some of it's usual potency.
As for England, they come into the tournament after losing seven of their eight white-ball fixtures in India and look like an ODI side still unsure about how to best tackle the format.

Australia Preview
After dominating the Test series and winning 2-0, the boot was on the other foot in the ODI series as Australia were beaten 2-0 without putting up a fight on their recent tour to Sri Lanka.
As a result, Steven Smith's side must raise their game ahead of this clash even if their opponents are also in disappointing form.
For a proud cricketing nation like Australia, their recent record in the ICC Champions Trophy, where they haven't won a game since 2009, make for painful reading, so they will be looking to their experienced heads to get them through this opener.
Top of that list will be Travis Head who has an exceptional ODI record against England and captain Smith who has hit over 17,000 international runs.
With the ball, spinner Adam Zampa will be key, especially with their lack of experience in the pace department.
AUS Over/Under Betting Tips
If there is one batter that you can rely on to deliver and step up in big matches especially against England, then it is Steven Smith. He will also have the additional responsibility of captaining the side. Against England, Smith has scored 1240 runs in 39 matches averaging 37.6 and also smashed six 50's and one hundred.
Steven Smith is coming off a poor ODI series against Sri Lanka, where he scored 41 runs in two matches. However, prior to that, he had a good run, smashing close to five centuries in two months. The conditions at Lahore favor batters, and a class batter like Smith, who averages 37.6 in ODIs against England, will be eyeing a big score.
Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short, Travis Head, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Steven Smith (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Aaron Hardie, Glenn Maxwell, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Adam Zampa, Nathan Ellis
Australia Actual Playing XI:
Alex Carey, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Marnus Labuschagne, Matthew Short, Steven Smith, Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Ellis, Adam Zampa, Ben Dwarshuis, Spencer Johnson
England Preview
England have been a very disappointing ODI side since they won the 2019 Cricket World Cup courtesy of the now famous Super-Over against New Zealand at Lord's.
But with Brendan McCullum leading the side, hopes are high that they could find some form from nowhere and dominate this tournament with an aggressive batting style.
Key to the team will be opener Ben Duckett who has just recovered from an injury but has an excellent record in this format, particularly against Australia. Phil Salt will take on the role of 'pinch hitter' and will look to clear the boundary at every opportunity in the powerplay.
With the ball, Adil Rashid has a strong record against Australia and the pace of Jofra Archer is always a point of difference across any format, particularly when he is fully fit.
ENG Over/Under Betting Tips
The backbone of England's middle order, Joe Root has had a below par series with the bat against India, where he scored 112 runs in 3 matches. But on a good batting track where the ball comes onto the bat nicely, a class batter like him will surely not miss out and that is what we believe is going to happen in today's game. We predict Joe Root to dominate the Australian bowlers and play a match winning knock.
Duckett has been the most consistent run-scorer for England, while the other batters have struggled to find their form. Duckett scored 34, 65, 32, 107, and 63 in his last five ODI matches, demonstrating a technique that allows him to score quickly. Against a relatively new Australian bowling lineup, Duckett will look to capitalize and play an impactful knock.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Phil Salt, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Jamie Smith (wk), Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood
England Actual Playing XI:
Harry Brook, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Liam Livingstone, Brydon Carse, Philip Salt, Jos Buttler, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Jamie Smith

Average Turn
As seen in the recently completed Pakistan Tri-Nation Series, this is a good batting wicket with players generally finding it easy to score runs at a steady pace outside of the powerplay. A par score will be around 350.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The pitch at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore favours the batters and the short square boundaries further aid the batters. The average total match score in the last two ODI matches played at this venue is 596. We predict it to be a high scoring affair and the total match score to be over 577.
We are backing the luck to be in favour of Australia and win the coin toss in the 4th match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Toss: To Bat
There is an even spread of victories for teams batting first and bowling first in recent 50-over internationals at the Gaddafi Stadium. Humidity levels will increase in the second half of the game so we predict that both sides will want to bat first on Saturday.
AUS vs ENG
Winning Prediction
Both sides come into this match in poor form with the bowling for both teams a particular concern. Australia look to have a more consistent batting line-up so we are predicting that they will come out on top in Saturday's clash in Lahore.
