England fight back with Liam Livingstone making a statement to the selectors at number four. A feature though in this series has been the all-round skill from both sides. Both England and Australia are using a fair bit of all-round skill with a good chunk of the players coming in as multi-utility players, opening a lot of options. Australia had that work for them closely but a little too late with Matt Short taking a late five wicket haul.

Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester
Good weather and a clean uninterrupted game is expected.
With the season winding down the pitches could start being a little more worn. There will be some dryness and turn going around with pacers likely to have a role to play with seam and bounce rather than swing. Batting first could be a better choice.

Adil Rashid
Adil Rashid is one of the older and probably the most experienced member in the side at the moment. With his generation slowly phasing out, Adil Rashid remains as the best wrist-spinner in the country. His performances in the series though have not yet been eye-catching and Adil Rashid will be desperately hoping to make an impact.
Aaron Hardie
Aaron Hardie spent a lot of time slogging through for the Perth Scorchers. He finally gets a chance to ply his trade for Australia and was very useful in the second T20. he opened the bowling and also gave a useful hand in the back end to set the game up.
Both sides are doing well with their all-round talent and a favorite seems tough to pick. Home advantage though could make a difference leaving England marginally ahead.
