5 Battles that will decide the fate of the England v Australia ODI series: After regaining the beloved Urn, the English team defeated the Australian side in the one-off T20I match as well. Now, they are all set to take on the World Champions Australia in the 5-match ODI series which will commence from 3rd September at the Ageas Bowl, Southampton. Australian’s will be playing their first ODI match after the magical night in Melbourne where they had won the World Cup final against the Black Caps. The series will mark the beginning of the Smith era who will be taking over the reins in ODIs as well after Michael Clarke’s retirement.

While the English side will look to carry on their winning momentum from the only T20I match to this ODI series. Though cricket is a team game but no one can rule out the very fact that it is individuals who have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.

On the eve of the series, we list 5 Battles that will decide the fate of the England v Australia ODI series:

1. Mitchell Starc v Eoin Morgan:

The World Cup hero Mitchell Starc is in red-hot form and has emerged as the most destructive fast bowler this year. From the possession of a deadly in-swinging Yorker to the ability of bouncing out the batters, this man is a shivering prospect indeed for the opponent team. While on the other side of the coin lies the English skipper Eoin Morgan who recently got all his tuning right after a horrid run of form. Morgan had blasted 329 runs in 5 ODIs against New Zealand and is coming in the series on back of a blistering half-century against the Aussies in the only T20I match.

The battle between both the southpaws in the death overs will certainly decide the fate of the game and will bear significant impact in the series as well. A mouth-watering clash is certainly on the cards.
