ENG vs AUS 4th ODI Highlights: England defeated Australia by 186 runs in the fourth match of the five-match ODI series. With this victory, England retained itself in the series. Host England won the fourth ODI and leveled the series 2-2. Now the fifth and last match of the series between the two teams will be played as the final. The team that wins the last ODI will win the series.
The thing to note is that before the ODI, a three-match T20 series was played between the two teams. Australia won the first match of the T20 series and England won the second. Then the third and last match was canceled due to rain, due to which the series ended at 1-1. A similar scene can be seen in the ODI series also.
Rain interfered in the last two matches of the ODI series, due to which the matches were either played in fewer overs or the Duckworth-Lewis rule had to be used. Australia won the first two matches of the ODI series and then England won the next two matches. Now the fifth and last ODI will be played on Sunday, September 29.
