England defeated Australia in the third ODI. Actually, Australia had to face defeat despite scoring 304 runs. In this way, England stopped Australia's record of 14 consecutive ODI wins. But how did Australia lose despite scoring a good score of 304 runs? 5 major reasons for Australia's defeat..!
Kangaroos fly into the storm of Harry Brooke and Will Jack
It is believed that the target of 305 runs will not be easy for England. But Harry Brook and Will Jacks made it very easy with their batting. Harry Brook played an innings of 110 runs in 94 balls. While Will Jacks contributed 84 runs in 82 balls. Australian bowlers had no answer to Harry Brook and Will Jacks.
Rain spoiled Australia's game!
When the game was halted due to rain, England's score was 254 runs for 4 wickets in 37.4 overs. Because 4 batsmen of host England had already reached the pavilion. However, captain Harry Brook batted brilliantly for England. But if the rain had not interfered and the full 50 overs had been played, any result would have been possible.
Australian bowlers disappointed
Australia's bowlers failed to perform as expected. Although Mitchell Starc and Cameron Green took 2-2 wickets each, both proved to be expensive. Apart from this, other bowlers did not get support. Josh Hazlewood, Sean Abbott, Aaron Hardy, Glenn Maxwell and Matthew Short failed to take wickets.
Slow innings from the top order batsmen!
Steve Smith did score 60 runs for Australia, but for this he faced 82 balls. At the same time, Australian captain Mitchell Marsh scored 24 runs in 38 balls. While Marnus Labuschagne got out without opening the account. If Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh had scored runs quickly and Marnus Labuschagne had not returned to the pavilion cheaply, then the Kangaroo team could have scored more runs. If this had happened, the result would have been different.
Superb batting from England
However, England opener Phil Salt returned to the pavilion without scoring any runs. Apart from this, Ban Dukat went ahead by scoring 8 runs. But apart from this, Will Jacks, Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone displayed excellent batting. Due to which England stopped Australia's streak of 14 consecutive ODI wins.
