Australia and England are set to lock horns in the fourth Ashes Test, starting Wednesday, January 5, at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The hosts, led by Pat Cummins, have retained the prestigious title leading 3-0 in the five-match Test series.
Australia:
Australia came with a mission to retain the urn and they have been successful. They decimated the English team, picking up wins in consecutive matches to seal the series. They will be looking to dominate the rest of the matches to clean sweep the visitors.
The bowlers have been brilliant so far as the English batters haven’t been able to counter them. Marcus Harris is back in form and it will be a relief for his side to see him get some runs under his belt. Travis Head will miss the SCG Test and we might see Usman Khawaja replace him in the XI.
England:
England have been dominated in all three Tests so far. The hosts have been sensational and Root’s men haven’t really stood a chance. The Aussies were particularly brutal in the third Test, defeating the Three Lions by an innings and 14 runs. The visitors would be eyeing to have some pride in clinching a victory at the iconic ground.
The Englishmen are striving for a win but they have already lost the series. The bowlers did a fine job in the third Test but their batters were disappointing.
