The third T20I between England and Pakistan in Manchester was a humdinger of a clash, and in the end, the &#8216;Men in Green’ held their nerve to defeat England by 5 runs. And with that, the three match T20I series resulted in a stalemate, with both the sides winning a match each with the first T20I being washed out.

England will now gear up for their next big series, against arch rivals Australia. The Aussies will play 3 T20Is and as many ODIs against the English side. The kangaroos are a side filled with match winners and this limited-overs series between the two heavyweights promises to be a mouth watering affair.

The Aussies, captained by Aaron Finch, will look to topple England in their own den when the limited-overs series gets underway.

With that being said, let us take a look at 5 Australian batsmen with the most runs against England in ODI cricket.

The fifth place is occupied by the current Australian skipper Aaron Finch. The big-hitting right-hander has always loved the England bowling attack and has scored 1,253 runs against them. He averages a healthy 50.12 against the English side and has also scored as many as 7 hundreds against them.

Out of the many three-figure scores that the Aussie notched up against England, his 135 at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in the 2015 World Cup definitely tops the list. In a pressure encounter, Finch ripped apart the England bowling attack in his 128-ball-stay to enable Australia to defeat their opposition by a massive margin of 111 runs.

Finch will look to continue his good run of form against the hosts when he pads up against the England side in the first ODI on 11th September 2020.

At the fourth place, we have the left-handed batting marvel Allan Border. In an ODI career that spanned a decade and a half, Border played 252 innings for Australia and scored 6,524 runs at an average of 30.62. Border also scored 3 hundreds and 39 fifties for Australia in ODI cricket.

Against the England side, Border featured in 42 innings and scored 1302 runs at an average of 36.16. He also scored 9 fifties against England in ODI cricket. Border’s innings of 91 in the Benson and Hedges Cup in the year 1987 will be remembered by Australian fans with a great sense of nostalgia. In a 122-ball epic, Border steadied the Australian innings, and dissected the England bowling attack with methodical brilliance.

His timely half-century allowed Australia to triumph over England by 33 runs. Border played his last ODI for the kangaroos on 8th April 1994 against South Africa.

With 1,306 runs from 40 innings against England, Shane Watson stands at the third place. Watson scored his runs against England at a modest average of 36.27. He also scored 5 half centuries and 3 centuries against the English bowling attack throughout his career.

Watson’s 161* at Melbourne in 2011 will go down as one of the greatest innings played by an Australian batsman against England. Chasing a challenging 295 for victory, Watson took the England bowlers to the cleaners in an epic knock that lasted 150 deliveries.

His unbeaten classic allowed Australia to chase down a tricky target of 295 runs with 6 wickets to spare. Watson scored 5,757 runs for Australia in ODI cricket and retired from the game in the year 2015.

At the second place we have former Australian captain <strong>Michael Clarke</strong>. The stylish right hander played 39 innings against England in ODI cricket and scored 1,430 runs at an average of 43.33. He also scored a hundred and 11 fifties against the English bowling attack.

Clarke’s only hundred against England came in the year 2013 at Manchester. In a 102-ball stay, Clarke scored 14 fours to help his side to thrash England by 88 runs. Another special from the willow of Clarke against England came at the Kennington Oval in 2010. In a 106-ball stay, Clarke scored a sedate 99* to enable his side to wallop the opposition by 78 runs.

Clarke scored 7,981 runs for the Kangaroos in ODI cricket and retired from the game in the year 2015, after leading Australia to the World Cup title.

(Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)</figcaption>

Without doubt, Ricky Ponting will go down as the greatest willow wielder for Australia in the ODI format of the game. In a career that spanned 17 years, the batting maestro scored 13,704 runs, including 30 centuries and 82 half centuries. In fact, Ponting is the only Australian batsman to have crossed the 10,000-run-mark in ODI cricket.

Against England, Ponting featured in 38 innings and scored 1,598 runs at an average of 48.42. The batting icon also scored 5 hundreds and 8 fifties against the England bowling attack. Ponting’s best performance against England came in the year 2009 at Trent Bridge. With Australia chasing a target of 300 for victory, Ponting scored a belligerent 126, and acted as the fulcrum of the Aussie batting lineup. His stunning knock enabled Australia to beat England by 4 wickets.

Ponting walked away from ODI cricket in the year 2012. Even though he was not at his best in the last stages of his career, Ponting will always be remembered for the grace and panache with which he played the game.

Top 5 Australian batsmen with the most ODI runs vs England

The third T20I between England and Pakistan was a humdinger of a clash, and in the end, the 'Men in Green’ held their nerve to defeat
