First ODI: Australia won by seven wickets

Second ODI: November 15, Adelaide Oval, 2:30pm AEDT (D/N)

Third ODI: November 18, Bellerive Oval, Hobart, 2:30pm AEDT (D/N)

Australia squad: Mitchell Marsh (c), Xavier Bartlett, Mahli Beardman, Alex Carey, Cooper Connolly, Jack Edwards, Cameron Green, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Spencer Johnson, Ollie Peake, Matthew Renshaw, Liam Scott, Adam Zampa.

Australia's new-look pace attack showed no signs of inexperience in the series opener despite the absence of all-format stars Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc and Josh Hazlewood as they prepare for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. The 21-year-old Mahli Beardman was outstanding on ODI debut with a six-wicket haul, while new-ball pair Xavier Bartlett (1-46) and Spencer Johnson (3-42) also bowled superbly to roll England for 131 in Perth. With Nathan Ellis, who is recovering from a side strain, still to come back into the side, it's good signs for Australia's fast-bowling depth as they build towards the men's ODI World Cup in October next year.

Australia's batters didn't have much to do in the series opener after captain Mitch Marsh blasted a 29-ball half-century to kick off the run chase, but No.3 Cooper Connolly , wicketkeeper Josh Inglis and Matthew Renshaw all spent time in the middle. Cameron Green wasn't required with either bat or ball in the first ODI, while fellow allrounder Liam Scott will be itching for an opportunity in his hometown of Adelaide after Jack Edwards got the nod at No.7 in Perth.

Young gun Ollie Peake , only 20 years old but already with eight ODIs to his name, was left on the bench in Perth alongside reserve gloveman Alex Carey , but both could come into contention throughout the series if Australia decide to test out different batting combinations after taking a 1-0 lead. Travis Head was the only Australian batter dismissed cheaply in the first ODI, bowled for a golden duck when he chopped on for the eighth time in his past 15 international innings.

England squad: Harry Brook (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Sonny Baker, Tom Banton, James Coles, Jordan Cox, Henry Crocombe, Sam Curran, Liam Dawson, Ben Duckett, Eddie Jack, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Adil Rashid, Joe Root

England's touring party was hit by injury in the lead up to the ODI series with young gun Ja cob Bethell (knee) and quick Josh Tongue (toe) sent home. Allrounder James Coles and seamer Eddie Jack , both already part of England's T20 squad, were called up as replacements and joined the side in Perth late Thursday ahead of the series opener.

Tom Banton and Ben Duckett have been gelling nicely at the top of the order with an average partnership of 71 leading into the series but failed to combat the extra bounce in Perth after dominating on the slower pitches in Pakistan in their previous ODI assignment. All of England's top eight, which includes Joe Root, Harry Brook, wicketkeeper Jordan Cox in the absence of the injured Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Will Jacks and Liam Dawson were caught behind the wicket in the first ODI, with the quicker and bouncier pitches Down Under set to be a major challenge for the visitors throughout their white-ball tour.

Left-armer spinner Dawson again got the nod over veteran leggie Adil Rashid but wasn't required to bowl as Australia reeled in their paltry target within 24 overs. Pace ace Jofra Archer proved a handful at times on his return to the ODI side after being rested for England's tri-series trip to Pakistan, while Gus Atkinson also bowled economically for his 1-40 from 10 overs in Perth and top scored with the bat (29no). England may be tempted to unleash young quick Henry Crocombe in the second ODI after Jamie Overton proved expensive.

Australia: Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Cooper Connolly, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis (wk), Matthew Renshaw, Jack Edwards, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Adam Zampa, Mahli Beardman

England: Tom Banton, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jordan Cox (wk), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid

It's hard to see Australia changing a winning formula after such an emphatic victory but they could rotate their quicks especially with Mahli Beardman and Spencer Johnson returning from back injuries at the start of the domestic season in September. South Australian Liam Scott could also come into contention in Adelaide, while Ollie Peake and Alex Carey are the reserve batters if the Aussies decide to switch things up.

Four allrounders seems like one too many for England but Jacob Bethell's injury has left them light on specialist batters for the series. Rashid Khan, Lloyd Pope and Cameron Boyce are leggies that always fared well for Adelaide Strikers at home in the Big Bash, so could veteran spinner Adil Rashid come into calculations with the longer straight boundaries?

Past 10 matches, most recent first. W: win, L: loss, N: no result

Australia have won just one of their four ODI series in 2026, a 3-0 sweep of Zimbabwe in early September. They are on the cusp of another if they can beat England in Adelaide, which would be a welcome boost for Mitch Marsh's side after 1-2 defeats to Pakistan and Bangladesh in June, and South Africa in late September. Australia will also be out to continue their ODI stranglehold over England having won 11 of the past 14 matches between the two sides.

A heavy loss in the first game against Australia and England's ODI form continues to trend in the wrong direction under coach Brendon McCullum. After starting the 2026 calendar year with a 2-1 series triumph against Sri Lanka in Colombo and 2-1 wins over both India and Sri Lanka again at home, they've now lost four of their past five matches. That includes three straight losses which saw them finish last in a tri-series in Pakistan that also featured Sri Lanka.

Mitch Marsh (Australia): Four ODI half-centuries on the bounce for the red-hot Aussie skipper who is coming off a 29-ball fifty in the series opener that included four massive sixes, with two of those in the same over off Jofra Archer measuring 101 and 113 metres respectively. Marsh produced knocks of 60, 84 and 56 in a three-match series against South Africa in September and although he hasn't kicked on to a three-figure score, he's striking at an impressive 135 runs on average per 100 balls from his seven ODI innings in 2026.

Tom Banton (England): The opener looked in fine touch in Perth with five early boundaries before nicking off to Xavier Bartlett on 25. His partnership with Ben Duckett at the top of the order has been a feature for England in ODIs this year, with the pair averaging 65 for the first wicket in eight innings together. Banton has produced a century and four fifties since coming back into the team in September, averaging 52 and striking at 107 during that period, and will be out to capitalise on his positive start to the tour in Perth.
