The fourth match of the Champions Trophy 2025 will be between Australia and England at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Australia will miss most of their main players, particularly in the bowling department, so their batters will need to rise to the occasion to keep them competitive.
England, however, has not been doing well in ODIs lately even though they possess good players. Their powerful batting order can perform well on flat tracks, but they need to concentrate on forming partnerships rather than playing aggressively.
