ENG vs AUS Dream11 Prediction: The arch-rivals, England and Australia, are set to meet in the fifth and final ODI match of the ongoing series. The match is scheduled to start at 03:30 PM (IST) on Sunday, September 29, 2024, and will be held at the County Ground in Bristol.
England turned their form around and roared back into the five-match series with a dominant 186-run win in the fourth ODI. The 2019 ODI champions were down 0-2 in the series, and a comeback looked like a distant dream after Australia’s 68-run win in the second match.
But cricket is a funny game, and there isn’t much difference in the quality of top teams like England, Australia, India, or New Zealand. Any team can outplay another on any given day.
That’s exactly what happened in the last two matches. England found their form and injected life back into the series with wins in the last two games. The fourth ODI deserves special mention. The match was reduced to 39 overs due to rain. England batted first and posted an imposing 312/5 in 39 overs. Australia, in reply, were bundled out for just 126 runs.
As a result, we are now set for a mega final between these two arch-nemeses.

Bowlers depend more on their skills and the line and length they bowled at to get the better of batsmen. The average first innings score at this venue is around 241.

TOP Picks For ENG vs AUS Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Harry Brook: The early signs are that the weight of captaincy is getting the best out of Harry Brook. He scored a brilliant 110* in the third ODI and followed it up with a fiery 87-run innings off just 58 balls in the fourth ODI.
- Travis Head: Perhaps the most dangerous batsman in the whole world. He is a player who can destroy any bowling unit in the world.
