AUS vs ENG 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report | AUS vs ENG 3rd T20 Dream11 Prediction Today | Canberra Pitch Report

England will be facing off against Australia in the final T20I of their three-match series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Friday. The visitors are already leading 2-0 and will be aiming for a clean sweep in what will be a massive confidence booster just prior to the T20 World Cup. The Australians will be looking to make amends after a couple of narrow losses but it appears that they will come into the World T20 in their most optimum T20I XI possible. So without further ado, let us have a look at a comprehensive preview and the Dream XI team predictions for the upcoming T20I between the two aforementioned sides.

AUS vs ENG 3rd T20I Possible Playing XI

Australia will most likely opt for an unchanged XI as this side certainly has the potential to outclass even the best of T20 teams on their day.

Australia: 1. Aaron Finch (c), 2. David Warner, 3. Mitchell Marsh, 4. Glenn Maxwell, 5. Marcus Stoinis, 6. Tim David, 7. Matthew Wade (wk), 8. Pat Cummins, 9. Mitchell Starc, 10. Adam Zampa, 11. Josh Hazlewood

England could rest some of their key players or choose to go for the kill by fielding the same XI that played the last game. We assume that a 3-0 series win in Australia is too fine an opportunity to let go off just before the commencement of a World Cup. Hence, England might as well bring their A-game to the table in Canberra, unless they wish to give Mark Wood a run.

England: 1. Alex Hales, 2. Jos Buttler (c & wk), 3. Dawid Malan, 4. Ben Stokes, 5. Harry Brook, 6. Moeen Ali, 7. Sam Curran, 8. David Willey, 9. Chris Jordan, 10. Reece Topley/Mark Wood, 11. Adil Rashid

AUS vs ENG Head-to-Head Stats & Key Players

Australia:

• Glenn Maxwell has a rather middling record of an average of 23.62 and strike rate of 140.63 in 14 T20Is against England. He, however, has been out of touch lately with an average and strike rate of only 15.75 and 115.24 respectively in 14 T20Is in 2022 so far.
• Adam Zampa might be taken to the cleaners by the English batsmen as the leg-spinner has a rather expensive economy rate of 10.43 in five T20Is against the opposition.
• Even David Warner has a very standard record, i.e. an average of 21.07 to go with a strike rate of 118 in 14 T20Is against the Englishmen.
• Matthew Wade is in some sublime touch as the southpaw has scored runs at a rate of 150.55 and average of 68.50 across 15 T20Is this year.
• With 20 scalps in 12 (in 2022) games at an economy of 6.98, Josh Hazlewood will head into the World Cup with a terrific run of games and some outstanding outings on his back.

England:

• Jos Buttler does not have the best of records in T20Is in Australia. The English skipper has an average and strike rate of 26.57 and 123.18 respectively in seven T20Is Down Under.
• Harry Brook has made a defining start to his T20I career with the 23-year-old notching 316 runs at an average and strike rate of 35.11 and 149.06 respectively in 13 matches this year.
• Dawid Malan is back to striking at his finest after a rather timid 2021. This year, the southpaw has scored 430 runs in 14 T20Is at an average and strike rate of 35.83 and 144.30 respectively. Contrastingly, the batsman was scoring runs at a rate of only 116.01 across 16 T20Is in 2021.
• England will be banking on Alex Hales to deliver the goods at the top of the order. The opener has considerable experience playing T20 cricket in the Big Bash League (BBL) in Australia. Hales averages 33.14 with a strike rate of 151.34 across 60 BBL innings so far.
• Adil Rashid hasn’t had the best of outings in T20Is in Australia so far. The leg-spinner has picked two dismissals in four games at a bowling average and strike rate of 71.50 and 45 respectively.
• Sam Curran has been superb in this series, taking wickets in both the middle and crunch death overs.

AUS vs ENG 3rd T20 Match Prediction: Who will win?

Australia have too good of a lineup to not emerge victorious in even one of the games of this series. One can rely on the defending champions of the T20 World Cup to really come to the fore and secure a consolation win in the last game of the series.
