Australia and England will lock horns in a three-match ODI series beginning November 13, 2026.

The series will serve as an important preparation opportunity for both teams ahead of the 2027 Men's ODI World Cup.

The ODI series between Australia and England is set to begin on November 13, with the two arch-rivals facing each other in a three-match contest. The series will be played across Perth, Adelaide and Hobart, with both teams looking to build momentum ahead of the Men’s ODI World Cup 2027.

Australia enter the contest under Mitchell Marsh, while England will be led by Harry Brook. The hosts have rested several of their senior fast bowlers, providing opportunities for younger players, while England will look to overcome their recent struggles in bilateral ODI series against Australia.

Australia look to bounce back with a new-look pace attack

Despite being the reigning ODI world champions, Australia have endured an inconsistent run in bilateral cricket, winning only two of their last eight ODI series. They suffered series defeats against Pakistan, Bangladesh and South Africa earlier in 2026 but will be confident of making a strong comeback on home soil.

With Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood rested, Xavier Bartlett is expected to lead the pace attack alongside Spencer Johnson. Young fast bowler Mahli Beardman could also make his ODI debut in Perth. Meanwhile, the opening combination of Travis Head and Marsh will be crucial; Adam Zampa will also remain a key weapon, having taken 36 wickets in seven ODIs against England.

England aim to overcome recent struggles against Australia

England arrive in Australia with a mixed run of results in 2026. Although they registered three consecutive 2-1 ODI series victories against Sri Lanka and India earlier in the year, their recent tri-series campaign against Pakistan and Sri Lanka ended with just one win in four matches.

Captain Brook will have a powerful batting lineup at his disposal, with Joe Root and Ben Duckett expected to play important roles. Root has scored 680 ODI runs at an average of 85 in 2026, while Duckett leads England’s run charts this year with 737 runs. In the bowling department, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson and Adil Rashid will be among the key players, with Rashid having claimed 35 wickets in 13 ODIs against Australia.
