Only twice in the previous 50 years have Australia won at The Oval. On the other side, they had 17 victories from 29 games at The Lord’s, for a success percentage of 43.59 percent, beating out South Africa’s 33.33 percent and the 39.72 percent of the hosts England from 141 games at the same venue.

Since both teams will only have access to The Oval’s facilities two days before the game, Pat Cummins & Co will practice at Kent’s out-ground over the weekend. Additionally, Beckenham is recognised for having a batter-friendly surface, whereas The Oval is probably going to suit the pacers. With their 2-1 away loss to India earlier this year, Australia concluded the 2021–23 WTC cycle in first place. They have lost four straight series against the Men in Blue and haven’t defeated them either at home or away in eight years.
