Australia to Win

England have endured a bruising tournament and their final run of games don’t get much easier. They will be very familiar with this Australian side, having played three Ashes series against them in the past four years, plus two ODI series.

England’s recent ODI record against Australia is poor, winning only one of the six meetings between the sides since the last World Cup. Adding that to the gloomy feel around the England camp at the moment, an Australia Win seems likely.

David Warner To Score Under 34.5 Runs

David Warner has had a good tournament so far, scoring 413 runs in six innings at 68.83, but his record against this England attack isn’t as profitable. When facing the bowlers in this England squad, Warner averages only 25.35, striking at 87.43, almost 10 runs below is career ODI strike-rate of 97.29.

Interestingly, Joe Root has dismissed the Australian opener twice in six balls in ODIs while Moeen Ali has got Warner three times at a strike-rate of 20.3. Warner is having a good tournament, but his stats suggest he struggles against England. David Warner To Score Under 34.5 Runs looks decent.

Adil Rashid To Be England’s Top Wicket-taker

It will likely be a day for the spinners in Ahmedabad. The cavernous venue has seen the second most amount of turn in the tournament (average of 1.7 degrees). This will help Adil Rashid, who, among this England team, has the best record against the current Australian squad.

He has taken 27 wickets at 26.44 (no other England bowler comes under 30) but has done so conceding under a run a ball. Against this aggressive Australian attack that is impressive going. Adil Rashid has a good chance of being England’s top wicket-taker.

Fall of First 1st Innings Wicket Over 31.5 Runs

Both teams have had solid opening partnerships. When batting first at this World Cup, England’s top pair average 66.66 before losing their first wicket. Meanwhile, Australia average a mammoth 116.75. Whoever bats first, they are well-set to score over 31.5 runs.

Travis Head to Hit A 4 And A 6

Travis Head has hit a 4 and a 6 in each of his last six ODI innings. That run extends to achieving the feat in nine of his last 13 innings. The Australian will be keen to carry on that streak on Saturday. I fancy Travis Head to hit a 4 and a 6.
