ENG vs AUS 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction: The T20I series between England and Australia ended in a tie at 1-1 as the series-deciding third T20I was washed out. The action now moves to a five-match ODI series, which is even more crucial for both teams as they start their preparations for the Champions Trophy 2025.
The ODI series will get underway on September 19 in Nottingham and will conclude on September 29 in Bristol. The three games in between will be held in Leeds, Chester-le-Street, and London.
Talking about their head-to-head record in ODIs, Australia are well ahead of England. In their 156 ODI contests, Australia won 88 and England won 63, while five matches ended without a result.
England vs Australia 1st ODI team news:
England will be led by Harry Brook in the ODI series against Australia as regular skipper Jos Buttler is out of the series due to a calf injury that has forced him to miss all action since the T20 World Cup. This is Brook’s maiden stint as England captain in any format. Jofra Archer is set to play his first ODI after 18 months. Ben Duckett is set to open while Jacob Bethell is set to receive his ODI cap.
Australia have a depleted bowling attack. Firstly, their regular ODI captain Pat Cummins is rested. So T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh will lead them in the ODI series. They have had injuries to Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Ellis, and Riley Meredith.
The boost for Australia is that Mitchell Starc is back. Glenn Maxwell, who was rested from the T20Is, will feature in the ODIs.

England vs Australia 1st ODI Pitch and Weather Report:
The Trent Bridge is a highly batting-friendly venue in white-ball cricket due to its flat pitch, and there is a short boundary on one side. In 2018, England hammered 481/6 in an ODI game against Australia at this venue.
The forecast is for overcast conditions, which could help the pacers initially, but nothing to threaten the game.
England vs Australia 1st ODI Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
England all-rounder Liam Livingstone is a good choice for Dream11 captaincy. He was initially not part of the ODI squad but made into it after Buttler was ruled out, and is now looking likely to start in the XI.
He made back into the ODI side on the back of his two brilliant all-round performances in the T20Is, where he scored 124 runs and picked up five wickets. He is expected to bat at number five in the ODIs and bowl a significant amount of overs.
ENG vs AUS 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction 3 players to watch out for:
