- Australia have mustered only two victories in their last 14 attempts in this format (L12); this despite winning the toss in eight of their last nine fixtures.
- Eoin Morgan's men have only lost three times since the start of 2016 in England and Wales, winning on 19 occasions in that timeframe (T1); Australia have lost four times in their last five ODI matches there however.
- England have never lost to Australia at Sophia Gardens; winning all three white-ball encounters there (two ODIs and a T20I) as well as recording a victory and a draw there in Test cricket against them.
- This will be England's first ODI fixture at the Cardiff venue since their ICC Champions Trophy semi-final defeat to Pakistan (June 2017); losing that game by a margin of eight wickets to the eventual champions.
- Eoin Morgan (5,376) needs 41 more runs to become England's all-time leading runscorer in ODIs; he is set to go above Ian Bell (5,416).
- Morgan (2,979) is closing in on 3,000 ODI runs in England and Wales; he'll become the first batsman to register that many there.
- Morgan is set to be involved in his 50th One Day International versus Australia; he'll become only the 10th man ever to record that many against them, he was the top scorer in the 1st ODI at the Oval (69).
- Marcus Stoinis comes into this meeting with England having been dismissed by Adil Rashid in four of his last five ODI innings; including each of the last three.
- Joe Root has reached 50 in back-to-back ODI innings versus Australia for the first time in his career; his batting average against them is just 29.6 across 19 innings.
