- Australia have won eight of their last 10 men’s ODIs against England including a 49-run win in their most recent encounter; though, they had won only two of their previous 10 games against them prior to that stretch.
- England have won three of their five encounters against Australia at the ICC Champions Trophy including their last two in a row; though, they’ve never won against Australia outside England at the tournament (L2).
- Australia have lost their last four straight men’s ODIs after losing only two of their previous 18 games in the format and haven’t lost more than four in a row since a five-game stretch in September 2023, while England have also lost their last four consecutive games in the format after winning three of their previous five games.
- Australia haven’t won a match at the ICC Champions Trophy since defeating New Zealand by six wickets in their last match of the 2009 tournament, picking up three defeats from their completed matches at the tournament since then (3 no results).
- England defeated Pakistan by six runs in their last men’s ODI in Pakistan (December 2005) but have won only three of their last 11 games in the country; they’ll be looking to win back-to-back games in Pakistan for the first time since February 1996.
- No full member teams bowled on a length less often than England (69.1% of total deliveries) and Australia (70.9%) in men’s ODIs since 2024, while England’s bowling economy of 5.5 runs per over when bowling on a length is the least economical of any team in the same period.
- Only 6.5% of England’s dismissed batters in men’s ODIs since 2024 were dismissed by LBW, the third-lowest rate of any full member team in the format behind New Zealand (5.0%) and Pakistan (6.0%).
- Glenn Maxwell (3,951) is 49 runs away from reaching 4,000 ODI runs scored for Australia; however, he has scored more than two runs in only three of his last nine innings in the format and has been dismissed for single figures in three of his last five innings against England (1, 108, 7, 30, 2).
- Joe Root has a batting average of 53.9 from his nine innings at the ICC Champions Trophy, the highest of any England player to feature in more than five innings at the tournament and the sixth-highest of any player; he has scored 40+ runs in three of his last four innings at the tournament (133*, 64, 15, 46).
- No player has dismissed Steve Smith (Australia) in ODIs more times than England’s Adil Rashid (7 times); Smith has averaged 37.6 in the format against the Three Lions, only against Sri Lanka (32.8) does he average less when batted in at least six innings.
