The world champion was in bad shape, 8 batsmen could not reach the double-digit mark, and England defeated them by such a big margin.
The Australian team is currently on a tour of England. A 5-match ODI series is being played between the two teams. In the first two matches of this series, Australia had shown a strong performance and took a 2-0 lead. But England has made a strong comeback in the series. England has also tied the series by winning two consecutive matches. In the fourth match of the series, the world champion team Australia had to face a big defeat. In this match, none of their batsmen could stay on the field for long.
The fourth ODI match of the series between the two teams was played at Lord's Stadium in London. Due to rain, this match was played for 39-39 overs only. In the match, Australia's captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be completely wrong. After losing the toss, England came out to bat first and scored a lot of runs and scored 312 runs by losing five wickets in the stipulated 39 overs. But in response to this target, Australia's team was all out by making just 126 runs in 24.4 overs and had to face defeat by 186 runs.
The Australian batsmen had a very poor performance in this match. Australia had a great start chasing the target and Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head added 68 runs for the first wicket. But after this, no batsman could stay on the crease for long, due to which 8 batsmen failed to even touch the double-digit mark. Travis Head scored the highest 34 runs and Mitchell Marsh played an innings of 28 runs. On the other hand, the fast bowlers from England bowled very lethally. Matthew Potts took the maximum four wickets. Apart from this, Brydon Carse took three wickets and Jofra Archer took two wickets.
England's captain Harry Brook scored the most runs in this match. Harry Brook played a stormy innings of 87 runs, which included 11 fours and a six. At the same time, Ben Duckett scored 63 runs and Liam Livingstone finished the innings by scoring 62 runs in 27 balls. During this, Liam Livingstone hit three fours and seven sixes. Now the fifth and last match of the series between England and Australia will be played on Sunday i.e. 29 September at the County Ground Stadium in Bristol, which will also decide the series.
