The Champions Trophy's Group B matches have started, and the second matchup between bitter rivals Australia (AUS) and England (ENG) is scheduled for Saturday, February 22 at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium. One of the tournament's most important matches is expected to be this one.
The starting lineup for England's first game versus Australia has been finalized. Jamie Smith rejoins the team, grabbing the gloves as wicketkeeper and batting at number three. The performance of an injured Australia versus England will be intriguing to see.

Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report:
The surface at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has been regarded as a batter's paradise, despite the fact that the pitches in Karachi and Dubai have been extremely difficult. In the Tri-series, New Zealand defeated South Africa by chasing down a total of more than 300 in the last game played at the site. The wisest course of action on this wicket may be to bowl first, even if batting first has been the tournament standard thus far.
Weather Report:
With no rain forecast, the day is probably going to be clear. In the first half of the game, the temperature is predicted to be in the early 20s. The temperature is predicted to be between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius after sunset.
