England vs Australia
England’s Harry Brook won his first toss as captain and opted to bat in the opening ODI at Trent Bridge, facing an Australian team battling a recent illness outbreak. Australia’s captain, Mitchell Marsh, humorously remarked, “We have 11!” at the toss, despite the setbacks. Among Australia’s lineup is Ben Dwarshuis, the left-arm seamer from New South Wales and Sydney Sixers, who is set to make his international debut at age 30.
