7:21 PM IST Earlier in the game, England won the toss and opted to bowl, a no-brainer given the rain on Monday and the pitch being under covers all day. With the ball nipping around, it was tricky early on for the Aussie top order. After weathering the early storm, Steven Smith and Cameron Green began to build a solid foundation, but their dismissals pegged Australia back. Enter Alex Carey, who stepped up with crucial partnerships alongside Glenn Maxwell and Aaron Hardie. Their late surge helped Australia score 104 runs in the final 10 overs, finishing with a competitive total of 304 on a challenging surface. For England, Jofra Archer and Matthew Potts bowled well with the new ball but could not quite execute their plans at the death. While Potts went wicketless, Archer ended with a couple of wickets to his name and the third seamer, Brydon Carse chipped with a wicket.

7:21 PM IST In response, Australia had to adapt quickly, and they did so with Cameron Green leading the charge with a short-ball strategy. Green was rewarded with a couple of wickets, but England maintained control of the chase, especially with Brook still at the crease. The English skipper showcased remarkable acceleration, racing from fifty to his maiden ODI hundred in just 33 balls. Liam Livingstone came out firing and ensured England stayed ahead in the run chase, which proved crucial as rain eventually intervened. When play was halted, the hosts needed just 51 runs from 74 balls, and with no further play possible, England emerged victorious by the DLS method.
