The two cricketing giants England and Australia will clash with each other in Gujarat at Motera Stadium. The coin toss will be flipped around 1.30 pm and the match will start at 2 pm

England is almost out of the race for the semi-finals of the ICC World Cup 2023. Even, if they win all the remaining three matches, they need to hope for the other matches' results to go in their favour. The defending champions of the ODI World Cup is placed at the bottom of the table with just two points

Australia made a late comeback in the ICC World Cup 2023 after facing defeats in their opening matches. Keeping in mind their net run rate of +0.970 and having eight points, the Aussies still have their chances alive in the semi-final race. The five-times World champions are currently in the third position holder in the points table of the ICC World Cup 2023

So far, the English men have faced Aussies in 155 ODI matches out of which Australia have come victorious on 87 occasions and England have won 63 matches. Two matches between the teams ended in a tie and three ended with no result

Looking to qualify for the semi-final of the ICC World Cup 2023, Australia will miss the services of their star all-rounder Glenn Maxwell. He suffered a freak injury during a game of golf and has been ruled out of the few matches of the ICC World Cup 2023

Another blow for the Aussies is their batsman Mitchell Marsh left the Australian squad in the middle of the ICC World Cup 2023 due to personal reasons. No definite timeline is marked for his return to action

In this case, which two players Australia will play for today's clash against England will be a point to look out for. Australia have a clear lead in the ODI format against England. An exciting clash between the defending champions and the Aussies awaits
