Watch Australia Vs. England Cricket Live Online: 5th ODI To Decide Series, Pressure On Australia
Watch what promises to be one of the most thrilling cricket matches of the year live online, as England attempts to complete a stunning comeback and win their Fifth and final One day International match against World Cup champion Australia after falling behind 2-0 in the first two contests of the five-match Royal London ODI series.
To find out how to watch the Fifth Australia vs. England ODI match live online, see the streaming information at the bottom of this article. The match is scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m. local time on Sunday, September 13, at Old Trafford in Manchester, England.
United States viewers can log in to watch live online starting at 5:30 a.m. Eastern Time, 2:30 a.m. Pacific.
After England exited the World Cup in March in ignominious fashion with a collapse to Bangladesh in the group stage, and Australia went on to win the whole competition, if Captain Eoin Margan’s men could win even a single match in the series against Australia it would be marked down as a moral victory.
After the first two thumping defeats to Australia, the hosts appeared simply overmatched. But they rallied for a ringing 93-run victory in the third ODI and then on Friday staged only the fourth successful run chase of 300 or more in the entire history of England one day international cricket.
Led by Morgan’s own 92 off 92 balls, England reached the target of exactly 300 with 10 balls to spare. All-rounder David Willey closed out the win with a massive six, with England needing just two to win.
If England can take the victory on Sunday, they will have staged a clean sweep of Australia on what has been a lengthy and grueling tour for the visitors. The first Ashes Test match started on July 8.
After retaking the Ashes with a 3-2 Test series victory, England beat Australia again in the tour’s lone T20 match, and now stands on the verge of a comeback victory in the climactic ODI series as well.
