Pitch Report for Sophia Gardens
The pitch at Sophia Gardens is renowned for being a flat track, which is generally favorable for batters. This surface allows batsmen to play their shots freely and get good value for their strokes. Bowlers, on the other hand, need to maintain accuracy and vary their deliveries to be effective. The pitch is likely to favor top-order batsmen, and those bowling in the death overs or spin bowlers might also have an impact.

England Heavy Fantasy XI
For England, consider selecting Phil Salt, Will Jacks, and Jordan Cox as key batting picks. In terms of bowling, Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid could be valuable additions. Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone are also crucial as they contribute significantly in both batting and bowling departments.
Australia Heavy Fantasy XI
From Australia, Travis Head, Matt Short, and Josh Inglis are excellent choices for the batting lineup. For bowling, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa could be game-changers.
Predicted Winner
Australia has had a strong start to the series and with the pitch at Sophia Gardens favoring their batting style, they are likely to have an edge in this match.
