Aussie hard-hitting opener Travis Head has been at his explosive best, proving why he is rated so highly and why he’s regarded as one of the best batsmen across the globe currently.

In the first two matches of the series, the Southpaw has scored 183 runs, including a not-out knock of 154 runs in the opening match of the series. The 30-year-old would be looking to perform in a similar manner in the next game as well.

Australia’s premier leg spinner Adam Zampa can prove to be the best-bowler in the imminent 3rd ODI versus England.

Having dismissed four batters in two matches, the 32-year-old is in excellent form and is even the highest wicket-taker of the series so far. The leggie will be hoping to play another important role for his team with the ball in the 3rd One-Day International.
