England aims for a substantial total of 350 in the second One-Day International against Australia in Adelaide, spurred by a century from Tom Banton. This follows a disappointing performance in the first ODI where England was bowled out for 131.
The first ODI saw debutant Mahli Beardman deliver a remarkable six-wicket haul, dismantling England's batting lineup and setting up an easy chase for Australia. Beardman's figures of 6 for 24 were a record for an Australian on ODI debut, drawing comparisons to Mitchell Johnson's impactful bowling. Australia comfortably secured victory in that match, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
