Australia is one of the most dominant forces in the cricket world in all three formats of cricket. They recently won the T20 Cricket World Cup.

Their squad has the likes of Dawid Malan, Joe Root, James Anderson, Stuart Broad, etc., who are some of the world’s best. England has revealed their squad. It is as follows:

Australia vs England Test 1: Match Preview and Prediction
The Ashes is the oldest prize in the cricket world. Both Australia and England will try their best to get their hands on that trophy. The first test match is crucial to both the team. If England wins the first test, they will have control over their rivals in their home. But if Australia wins, they will prove to be superior in their home ground. Gabba is a scoring ground, and the first one to bat will have the advantage. My prediction for the match is that Australia will take up the win. It will be hard-earned, but Australia is likely to win the first test. But ultimately, to know the result, we need to wait till the 12th of December. If it results in a draw, it will create pressure on both sides.
