ENG vs AUS Ashes 2nd Test Match Prediction- Who Will Win Today's Match Between England and Australia

Despite not being at their best and with both Smith and Labuschagne contributing minimally, Australia finds themselves up 1-0. The lead up to the Test has seen a lot of talk with Australia going after Ollie Robinson and with England going after Australia’s approach and how they kept playing catch-up through the Test. For all their defensiveness though, Australia still finished with a win that should give them a lot of confidence going forward.

ENG vs AUS Key Players

Ollie Robinson

Robinson has been in the firing line throughout the lead-up to this Test for his send off against Usman Khawaja. For all that has been said though, Ollie Robinson has in the past shown his ability and his numbers prove his ability despite looking like a bowler who bowls on the slower side. He will enjoy being in the firing line and will be keen to make his performances speak in the upcoming game.

Marnus Labuschagne

Marnus Labuschagne was left clueless after his two dismissals to Broad in the previous game. He was out for two really low scores and will be disappointed as he looks to bounce back and prove further that he can perform overseas.

ENG vs AUS Match Tips

England are a changed side but seeing the Australian bowling attack and England’s head to head against their bowlers Australia could come in as favorites despite the talk about Bazball.
