There is nothing better than beating England, especially in cricket and in a big tournament and that is what the Aussies will achieve on Saturday in the Champions Trophy.
Australia come in with an inexperienced side that has taken a bit of a beating without their three quicks in the squad, however, England’s bowling attack has also been in tatters and was destroyed by India in the lead up to this tournament.
The faith in this contest is in the old heads (pun intended), with Australia leaning on the experience of Steve Smith and Travis Head with the bat. Head had fine series against England last year scoring 29 runs or more in his four matches with a high-score of 154* the first match at Trent Bridge.
Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers in that series, claiming 8 wickets and had a best of 3/49 and should see some good life out of the wicket in Lahore.

Australia Form
Australia come into the Champions Trophy in poor one-day international form losing their series 2-1 against Pakistan on home soil and getting beaten convincingly against Sri Lanka in their 2-game series, losing both matches.
The Aussies are leaning into their youth in the one-day game, especially in the bowling department with no Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc or Josh Hazlewood. Instead, Spencer Johnson, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis and Sea Abbott will take the ball and cement their places as their predecessors.
Steve Smith will lead the Australians and has had a fine summer with the bat and along with Travis Head as another veteran, Australia will feel comfortable with their scoring chances, however, they will like to see more from Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matt Short in this tournament.
Australia Squad
Steve Smith (c), Sean Abbott, Alex Carey, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Aaron Hardie, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Tanveer Sangha, Matthew Short, Adam Zampa. Travelling reserve: Cooper Connolly.
England Form
England’s one-day international form has not been crash hot for a while, losing their past 4 series, including two with the West Indies, one with India and another against Australia.
The Poms are coming into the Champions Trophy after being swept 3-0 against India, with the home team scoring runs at will with the English bowlers having nothing to say about it.
Joe Root returned to the English side and found his touch with 69 runs in England’s second match against India. Root, 33, has played 171 ODIs, scoring 6522 runs at an average of 47.60, which includes 16 centuries and 39 half-centuries.
