Australia has indeed played like the defending champions in the 2019 World Cup. The team, captained by Aaron Finch, stuttered versus India, but otherwise hasn’t put a foot wrong in the mega event. After beating Bangladesh by 48 runs, the Aussies are currently placed second in the points and another victory would almost take them to the semis. They are next scheduled to play England at the Lord’s in London.
The Three Lions have been emphatic as well, but losses to Pakistan andSri Lanka have put their campaign in a bit of jeopardy. Placed fourth in the table, Eoin Morgan’s men need a win to keep themselves away from the danger of being eliminated. As far as Tuesday’s game is concerned, records are against England as they haven’t beaten the Aussies in the World Cup, since 1992, losing 5 out of 7 games.
