England (ENG) vs Australia (AUS) is the oldest cricketing rivalry in the history of international cricket. The two teams meet on Saturday afternoon at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Both nations have different intentions as far as their future in the tournament is concerned.
Defending champions England are at the bottom of the table after losing five games out of the six played. Their last game against India saw them lose by 100 runs to be pushed to the brink of exit. Jos Buttler and his side need a win in a bid to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
Australia on the other hand will want to win the game to keep their spot in the top four alive. The Australians are currently in the 3rd place just above New Zealand with 8 points but separated by a better run rate. A win on Saturday will more or less seal their spot in the top four in the points table.

Likely Playing and Pitch conditions
The Narendra Modi Stadium has hosted two ODI World Cup games so far. England had begun the tournament at the same venue and lost to New Zealand by 9 wickets. The skipper winning the toss will want to bowl first with dew set to play a huge role.
Ahmedabad will witness a warm day but by the time the evening sets in it will get much cooler. Pace bowlers will get good carry under lights and there will be swing on offer. The Spinners too will enjoy the surface with the new ball while shot-making will be easy and runs will be on offer for the batters.
