Australia vs England: Australia and England have both had similarly disappointing starts to their campaign in the 2022 T20 World Cup and they will face each other today at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The way New Zealand have been performing in the tournament so far, it is certain that only one out of the two teams participating in today’s fixture will have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals after the match if it is not called off. Thus, tomorrow’s clash between these two cricketing giants is of utter importance.
In this match, we shall be talking about the details, weather report, probable lineups and prediction of the much-anticipated match between Australia and England.

Australia vs England: Weather Report
Melbourne is expected to have heavy rainfall with thunderstorms for almost the entire day on 28th October. There is thus a high probability that both the matches scheduled for tomorrow – Australia vs England and Afghanistan vs Ireland – might be washed due to rain. If that it would be disastrous for both England and Australia as it would provide a huge advantage to the other teams.
The expected temperature is about 18 degree-Celcius, wind speed is about 32 km/hr and expected humidity is about 59%.
Australia vs England: Probable Lineups
Australia: Aaron Finch (C), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Ashton Agar, Josh Hazlewood, David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade (WK).
England: Jos Buttler (C & WK), Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone, Harry Brook, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes.
Australia vs England: Winning Prediction
If the match does take place, we think that Australia might just have an edge over England. The English team has been very much Buttler-dependant in the last few months and that is a weakness that can be easily exploited by a team of Australia’s calibre. Moreover, the Aussies have a major home advantage as they will be playing the match on known surface. We thus predict that Australia will end up defeating England in today’s match.
