Champions Trophy 2025: Australia vs England – Match Preview

The two arch-rivals – Australia and England – will take on each other at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore in the fourth match of the ongoing Champions Trophy on Saturday. Australia will be led by Steve Smith in the absence of Pat Cummins whereas England recently suffered a 0-3 loss against India.

We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of Australia: L L L L W

Australia suffered series losses against Sri Lanka and Pakistan in the recent past. Furthermore, the absence of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh, and Marcus Stoinis (who has retired) will put Australia under the pump and the onus will be on youngsters.

Current form of England: L L L W L

England, like Australia, have also managed a solitary win in their last five games. The Three Lions haven’t been at their best in the ODI format and their talented batting group will need to deliver as a unit against Australia.

Head to Head: Matches: 160, Won by Australia: 90, Won by England: 65, No Result: 3, Tied: 2.

Players to watch out for: Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Marnus Labuschagne, Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, and Adam Zampa will hold the key for Australia.

Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Ben Duckett, Mark Wood, Adil Rashid, and Jofra Archer will be the crucial players for England
