Australia vs England: Prediction [T20 WC 2024] – Best Bets
Australia and England, the Ashes rivals, will face each other at a neutral venue where they have played one match each. While the Aussies are coming off a win over Oman, England’s opening game against Scotland was washed out due to rain. Here are the best bets for this Australia vs England match.
Australia top batter to be Travis Head – 10Cric @ 3.5, BET HERE
Travis Head’s T20 World Cup didn’t start on an auspicious note as he scored only 10 runs against Oman. But the left-hander might just take a liking towards England bowlers and go big in this clash.
Jos Buttler to be top batter of England – 1xBet @4, BET HERE
Jos Buttler is the in-form England batter at the moment thanks to the recent Pakistan series. He opens the innings and can lead from the front in this crunch game.

It would be safe to bet on Australia to win this match who are coming off playing a complete game in Barbados defeating Oman by 39 runs.
Venue and Pitch Analysis
Timings of matches in this T20 World Cup are weird. This game will commence at 1 PM local time while the three matches that have taken place so far in Barbados are at 10:30 PM and 8:30 PM (two games) local time. The pitch has been on the slower side at this venue and under the sun, it might slow down even further. Spin might play a big role and batting first could be a better option.

Head-to-Head Record Australia vs England
Australia and England have played 23 T20I matches against each other so far. Australia have won 10 matches while England emerged victorious in 11 of them with two games ending in no result.
Australia
Australia breezed past Oman in their previous game at the same venue. But they had their fair share of troubles facing spin on slow pitch. Half-centuries from Marcus Stoinis and David Warner scored fifties while the bowlers did their job. The Aussies will certainly need a better effort to go past the England side that looks formidable.
England
England might argue that they were robbed of points against Scotland but in reality, they couldn’t pick a single wicket in 10 overs. Their bowlers didn’t seem up to the mark and an improved show will be needed against the Aussies. As for batting, Jos Buttler and his men are very much equipped and will be keen on smashing big.
