England will take on Australia in the third and final ODI match at Old Trafford in Manchester. The series is tied with 1-1 and both the teams will fight for the series win in this decider game.

In this series, England's top-order batsmen have disappointed as except Jonny Bairstow none from the top five crossed fifty runs mark and in this series decider, the likes of Jason Roy, Joe Root, Jos Buttler, and captain Morgan have to step up. In the bowling Jofra Archer, Woakes, Curran brothers, Wood, and Rashid all have been outstanding and they will look to continue their good form. 

On the other hand, Australia must be disappointed after not winning the last match. Their bowlers especially Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa are bowling very well and have taken more than 10 wickets between them. Mitchell Starc too has been good but he needs to take more wickets in the death overs and Pat Cummins who got smashed in both the matches need to improve his line length in the death overs.

In the batting, David Warner with two single-digit scores has looked clueless against Archer and he has to step up along with captain Finch. The return of Steve Smith will strengthen their batting and the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell and Alex Carey need to be consistent with the bat.
