Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Australia
Compared to the Australian team that toured England in 2019, the current squad is more assured. Australia recently won the WTC Final and the first two Ashes Test matches of the series, defeating a formidable India Test side. After losing the third match, the team is quite confident to come back in the series once again and take an unbeaten lead in the series. Travis Head and Mitchel Marsh continue with their brilliant form. On the other hand England got the momentum with the last test’s victory and they made the Ashes alive. Mark Wood and Chris Woake strengthened the team's bowling, by picking 7 and 6 wickets respectively they both were the big reason behind the host's comeback. Having the most balanced side, we predict a match victory for England. We look at the fifth test match as the final.
- Australia to win @ 2.52
- England to win @ 2.30
- Draw @ 4.15
