AUS vs ENG: Australia will lock horns against England in the 2nd ODI of the England tour of Australia, 2022 on Saturday, November 19, 2022, at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.
Fifties from David Warner, Travis Head, and Steven Smith helped Australia outclass England in the first ODI in Adelaide and take 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
While Travis Head made an astounding comeback to the ODI, smacking 69, David Warner clobbered a sensational 89 to provide the hosts a flying start and set the tone for the run-chase.
From England, Malan played a flamboyant knock of 134 runs to help England post a competitive total of 287 runs for 9. However, it never looked enough on a flat batting track, which had nothing significant to offer for the bowlers.
Heading into the second T20I, while Australia will look to extend their winning run and take an unassailable lead in the series, England would look to win this match to keep the series alive.
Here are the match details, pitch report, probable playing 11, squads, player records/stats and dream11 fantasy team predictions for the 2nd ODI of the England tour of Australia, 2022.
