The stage is set for a thrilling encounter at Bristol’s County Ground as England and Australia prepare to clash in the fifth and final One-Day International (ODI) of their series on Sunday. With the series tied at 2-2, both teams are locked in a battle for supremacy, with the winner set to lift the trophy, while the loser will go home empty-handed.
The five-match series has lived up to its billing, delivering edge-of-the-seat action with both teams securing two wins each. Australia came out strong in the first two ODIs, but England bounced back in the next two games to level the series. The back-and-forth nature of the 50-overs format has kept fans on edge, as both sides have shown their ability to dominate in moments but also face setbacks.

County Ground Pitch Report:
The Bristol pitch offers a chance for early seam movement, but batting becomes easier as the match progresses. Fast bowlers need to exploit the initial conditions and vary their pace with the older ball. Spinners will find limited assistance, and the wicket’s consistency favours chasing teams.
