Preview
In this prediction, we will analyze the AUS vs ENG fantasy 11 prediction, cricket tips, playing XI, and injury updates for Match 17 of the T20 World Cup 2024. Defending T20 World Cup champions England will face their biggest test of the T20 World Cup when they take on Australia. The match in Barbados will be a highly charged up one as both sides will be looking to outdo each other. The last time the two teams met at this venue in this format was during the T20 World Cup finals of 2010 where the English had won.
Australia (AUS) come into the contest on the back of their massive win against Oman. Marcus Stoinis and David Warner had scored valuable half-centuries for their sides. Stoinis also had picked three wickets with the ball to make it a day to remember for himself. The Kangaroos know that England are their biggest obstacle in the tournament if they have to win their 3rd successive ICC title.
England (ENG) were left frustrated as rains put a damper on their hopes for their match against Scotland. The English bowlers failed to pick up a wicket as the match, which became a ten-over match, saw play stopped with yet another rain interruption. Jos Buttler will want his side to be motivated as they take the field against their biggest rivals.

Pitch Report
Captains
Philip Salt ENG | wk- 6.5
English batter Phil Salt has been in tremendous form after his exploits with the bat for KKR during the IPL 2024 season. The 28-year-old also has good record in West Indies and the pitch in Barbados will suit his game.
Marcus Stoinis AUS | bat- 8
Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis scored a crucial 67 with the bat against Oman and also picked 3 wickets with the ball. His form will be the key if Australia have to keep their winning run going in the tournament.
David Warner AUS | bat- 9
David Warner is set to bid goodbye to international cricket after this tournament. The veteran batter scored a well-compiled fifty in the match against Oman and will be a huge threat for the English bowlers.
Top
Mark Wood ENG | BOWL- 8.5
England will rest their hopes on the pace of Mark Wood when they take on Australia in their game on Saturday. The 33-year-old was too hot too handle for the Scottish batters and Wood will be a handful if the pitch has a tinge of green on it.
Adam Zampa AUS | BOWL- 9
Australian leg-spinner Adam Zampa was at his economical best as he bowled four overs and picked 2/24 versus Oman. The right-arm leggie will want to put the English batters under pressure with his variations and flight and help Australia keep a firm grip of proceedings in the middle-overs.
Jonny Bairstow ENG | WK- 8
Veteran England str Jonny Bairstow came back to his best form during the final phase of the IPL. Bairstow will relish the chance of taking on the Aussie quicks and playing his trademark fierce strokes on what is likely to be a great surface in Barbados.
Budget
Jofra Archer ENG | bowl-9
Ever since his return to cricket, Jofra Archer has been trying to get back to his best. The 29-year-old will look to put it past the Arch rivals and show that he still a force to be reckoned with.
Nathan Ellis AUS | bowl- 7
It was a surprise that Nathan Ellis was played ahead of Pat Cummins in the game against Oman. The right-arm pacer justified the call with 2/28 from his 4 overs as he did well with the new ball as well as with the old ball.
Mitchell Starc AUS | bowl- 8.5
Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc has become deadly once again with the ball. His 2/20 from 3 overs was vintage Starc as he bowled with pace and swung the ball and even bowled a few Yorkers.
