Super 12, Group 1
28.10.22, 11:00
The 26th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 will be played on Friday (October 28) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Both teams have not had the season that they had hoped for thus far. According to the DLS algorithm, England lost their last game against Ireland by five runs. They are third in the points chart and must win their remaining matches to easily qualify for the semi-finals.

Under tight cloud cover, England stuttered to 86-5, and despite a late burst of boundaries from Moeen Ali, they were still short of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern par when the skies began. Ireland's 157 all out in 19.2 overs was helped along by skipper Andrew Balbirnie's 62 off 47 balls. The delay proved disastrous since England, who was on 105-5 when the rain started, lost by five runs utilising the DLS system, therefore ending their prospects of reaching the semifinals.
Australia
Due to England's defeat, Australia now has a chance to advance from the six-team group despite losing to New Zealand in their first match. Given that a 4-1 record is generally necessary to be one of the top two teams, Friday's match between the Ashes rivals becomes a hypothetical World Cup elimination match. The victory was Ireland's first in the Super 12 (or 10 or 8) stage of the T20 World Cup.
Expert Betting Tips
Australia's NRR is lower than England's owing to their devastating loss to New Zealand. If the tournament hosts go on a winning streak leading up to the semifinals, that may not even be a factor.
- Australia Wins to 1.82
- Total Under 334.5 for 1.832
- Total Wickets Under 12.5 for 1.8
