The England cricket team are facing Australia in the third ODI of a five-match series on Tuesday (September 24) at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le Street. The hosts have their backs against the wall as they are 2-0 down in the series and cannot afford another defeat.
Australia are flying high on confidence and will look to complete a series victory. The Mitchell Marsh-led side have won each of their last 15 ODI games, which is the second-best winning run in ODI cricket history. The run started in the 2023 World Cup when they won 10 games in a row on their way to the title.
