Australia's World Champion cricket team suffers a heavy 186-run loss to England in the ODI series decider at Lord's.
Playing at Lord's for the first time since a heated Ashes Test last year when they were accused in crowd chants of cheating, the Australians were steamrollered in a 186-run loss to England in the fourth match of their ODI series on Friday, September 27, 2024.
"In the end, they thoroughly outplayed us today," Australia captain Mitchell Marsh said.
The series is tied at 2-2 heading into the decider in Bristol on Sunday.
In a match reduced to 39 overs per side because of wet weather, England powered to 312-5 thanks to 87 from stand-in captain Harry Brook and an unbeaten 62 from Liam Livingstone, who hit 28 runs off the final over by Mitchell Starc.
Australia was bowled out for 126 in 24.4 overs, losing its 10 wickets for 58 runs having been 68-0 early in its chase.
