Australia Vs England Live Score 1st ODI: Australia Rebuild With Aaron Finch Against England
Australia drubbed England in the Test series winning it 4-0. They are running high on confidence and will look to transform it into a good performance when the two teams meet in the first ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Though Australia dominated England in Tests, this will be a complete different ball game. England have been a successful team in the limited-overs format and have won matches with their aggressive approach. If they can put the disappointment of the Test series away, they can be very dangeroud against Australia. The last one year has been a successful one for England in the ODIs while Australia have struggled in the 50-over game winning only five games last year. They will look to better the record and start the year on a good note by winning the first game. Catch the Live Cricket Score Australia vs England 1st ODI at MCG here
