AUS vs ENG Prediction & Possible Playing 11 Of CT 2025

The Ashes rivals are again back on the cricket field, this time in the ICC Champions Trophy after a long wait of 8 years. On the form front, the English team was whitewashed 3-0 by India recently in India. Their opponents, the Australians, are also sailing in the same boat, perhaps even worse than England. Australia is entering this tournament with a depleted squad with their 'Big 3' Starc, Hazlewood & Cummins being ruled out of the tournament, they also enter into the comp on the back of a 2-0 drubbing against Sri Lanka in the ODI series. Who's gonna come out trumps in this big game? let's find out in the prediction below.
