The long wait finally ended at the Melbourne Cricket Ground when Ben Stokes and his men defeated Australia in the fourth Test. While the series has already been lost, the victory should significantly boost England&rsquo;s confidence, especially with high-profile Cricket Matches On Stake toward the end of the tour. For fans looking to stay ahead of the action, check out <a href=\"https:\/\/stake.com\/sports\/cricket\">the latest cricket prediction on Stake<\/a> to get expert insights and analysis before the next big clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It was England&rsquo;s first Test win in Australia since January 2011. The final Test will be played from January 4 to 8 at the Sydney Cricket Ground and is expected to be an emotional affair, as it is likely to be Usman Khawaja&rsquo;s final Test appearance for Australia. Can the hosts give him a winning farewell, or will England finish the tour with another morale-boosting victory?<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AUS vs ENG: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: January 04-08, 2025 (Sunday-Thursday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 5:00 AM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AUS vs ENG: Live Streaming Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>In India, the live action of the final Ashes test will be available on Star Sports Networks.

The wicket here will get slower with time, and spinners will come into play. But there are chances of rain on the first two days, making conditions more favorable for fast bowling. The team that bats in the fourth inning will have more challenges with the bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AUS vs ENG: Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Australia<\/strong>: Travis Head, Jake Weatherald, Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith (c), Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Michael Neser, Mitchell Starc, Todd Murphy, Scott Boland<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>England<\/strong>: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Will Jacks, Shoaib Bashir, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>AUS vs ENG: Player to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Batter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Travis Head failed with the bat, and Australia lost the third test. That shows his impact on this lineup, and he will be a big wicket. For England, Zak Crawley has been good in patches, and his ability to take on the bowlers makes him a dangerous batter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Bowler<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mitchell Starc is the leading wicket-taker in this series and the biggest threat for England. Josh Tongue bowled a tight line at MCG and was rewarded with a MOTM award. He knows the length and uses it better than other English bowlers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Today<\/strong> <strong>Match<\/strong> <strong>Prediction<\/strong>: Australia had a poor batting display in the fourth test, and they paid the price. But one can expect them to do well. Beating Australia in Australia in consecutive tests is very hard. Hence, we predict Australia to win the final test.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>AUS vs ENG Match 5th Test, Today Match AUS vs ENG, AUS vs ENG Prediction, AUS vs ENG Predicted XIs, Injury Update of the match between Australia vs England<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: The prediction or cricket tips are purely based on the understanding and research of the writer.
