Australian team's crushing defeat

The fourth ODI match of the series between the two teams was played at Lord's Stadium in London. Due to rain, this match was played only for 39-39 overs. In the match, Australia captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and decided to bowl first, which proved to be completely wrong. After losing the toss, the England team, who came to bat first, scored a lot of runs and scored 312 runs after losing five wickets in 39 overs. But in response to this target, the Australian team was all out after scoring just 126 runs in 24.4 overs and had to face defeat by 186 runs.

8 batsmen could not touch double figures

There was a very poor performance from the Australian batsmen in this match. Australia got off to a great start while chasing the target and Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head added 68 runs for the first wicket. But after this, no batsman could stay on the crease for long, due to which 8 batsmen failed to even touch double figures. Travis Head scored the highest score of 34 runs and Mitchell Marsh played an inning of 28 runs. At the same time, the fast bowlers from England bowled very lethally.
