Birmingham, June 9: England captain Eoin Morgan won the toss and elected to field first in the match 10 of ICC Champions Trophy 2017 against Australia in Edgbaston.
It is a must win game for the Australians as a defeat today would eliminate them from the competition and Bangladesh will qualify as the second team along with England from Group A.
Australian are yet to play a full match in the tournament so far as both their last two matches against New Zealand and Bangladesh were called off due to rain. The Aussies have 2 points from 2 matches.
If today's match also gets cancelled, England and
Bangladesh will go through by virtue of net run rate.
England, on the other hand, have had a strong start to their campaign. They have won both matches against Bangladesh and New Zealand scoring 300 plus runs in each match.
