The team that secured the 2019 title, boasting five-time championship wins, has engaged in nine ODI clashes. Among these nine contests, Australia emerged triumphant in six, while England claimed victory in three. When evaluating their respective showings in the current tournament, it is evident that England has experienced a lackluster performance. In contrast, Cummins and his team have made a strong resurgence in this prestigious event, bolstering their prospects of emerging victorious in the upcoming match.

Jos Buttler, the captain of the English team, has triumphed in the toss on all three recent occasions. In contrast, Pat Cummins, on the other hand, has only managed to secure the toss victory once in his side’s last three matches. Looking ahead to the upcoming match, we anticipate that fortune will favor Buttler once again, and he will win the toss over Pat Cummins.
