Fans enjoy watching all of the international cricket matches, by the way. The fervor and excitement of the supporters, though, is at its peak when India and Pakistan or England and Australia play each other.
On June 16, England and Australia will play the opening game of their five-game Test series at Birmingham’s Edgbaston Stadium. Starting at 3:30 PM Indian Time, the game will begin. The Australian squad has dominated these series more heavily if we look at the last five. The Australian team has triumphed in three of the last five series, whereas the English team has only achieved that feat once. There was a series of draws at the same time.
While the team led by Pat Cummins will advance to compete against England by winning the World Test Championship final match against Australia in 2023, the rest of the team, including captain Ben Stokes, will attempt to take advantage of the match taking place on England’s home pitch.
