With the much anticipated Ashes series right around the corner, both England and Australia would look to stay on top of their games ahead of the marquee five-match Test series. The legendary rivalry between both sides is all set to begin on June 16 as England and Australia go head-to-head at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Furthermore, the series will conclude at The Oval in London with the fifth Test match that will begin on July 27. The Pat Cummins-led Australia would be coming into the series on the back of a historic win against India in the final of the World Test Championship.
Having registered a brilliant win and lifted the WTC mace, the Aussies would be riding high with confidence as they look to maintain their hold over the iconic urn. On the other hand, the Ben Stokes-led England would be keen on reclaiming the urn, and with the ‘Bazball’ method in full flow, it could be interesting to see which side comes out on top in the series.
There have been a lot of discussions over the type of pitches that will be used for the five-match Test series. Skipper Ben Stokes had earlier mentioned that he wanted fast and flat wickets to execute their stylish brand of cricket in an efficient way. However, only time will tell what is in store for the Aussies.
With some of the best batters in world cricket in both teams, if flat wickets are prepared for the forthcoming series, high-scoring affairs could be expected throughout the five matches, and it could prove to be a challenging time for the bowlers.
