  • Australia are hosting England in a One Day International on home soil for the first time in almost three years (14th February 2015); the hosts have won 11 of their last 12 ODIs at home versus England (L1).
  • England have claimed victories in three of their last four ODIs versus Australia (L1); having previously lost seven in succession against them.
  • Australia have won eight of their last nine ODI games against England at the MCG (L1); that sole blip being a four-wicket defeat in February 2007.
  • Australia had been enjoying a run of nine ODI wins on the bounce at the MCG prior to the defeat to Pakistan last time out (January 2017).
  • England won 79% of their completed ODI matches during 2017 (15 of 19); the highest share of any side.
  • England have claimed victories in seven of their last eight bilateral ODI series; India's 2-1 win in 2017 being the only series to go against them.
  • Eoin Morgan requires 36 more runs to go above Paul Collingwood (5,092) into 2nd in the list of all-time leading ODI run-scorers for England.
  • Mitchell Starc has taken 134 ODI wickets at an average of 20.1; only one bowler (Joel Garner, 18.8) has ever claimed 100+ ODI scalps with a better rate.
  • Jos Buttler is set to make his 100th ODI appearance in this match; only Glenn Maxwell (123.9) has a higher batting strike rate than the Englishman (117.9) in this format (1000+ runs).
  • Joe Root has only been able to post 227 ODI runs against Australia in 13 previous attempts, averaging just 17.5; his lowest rate of any side he's faced more than twice.
