The highly anticipated Match 4of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will witness arch-rivals Australia and England locking horns at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. This fixture carries immense significance as both teams seek to make a strong statement early in ?the tournament.

While England arrive in Pakistan following a dismal 3-0 ODI series defeat to India, Australia, led by Steve Smith, will have to navigate the tournament without their seasoned fast-bowling trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc, all of whom are unavailable due to injuries and personal reaso??ns. Despite these setbacks, the stakes remain sky-high in this traditional rivalry, as both teams aim to establish early dominance in Group B and boost their semi-final aspirations.

• Date and Time: February 22, 02:30 pm (IST)/ 09:00 am (GMT)/ 02:00 pm (Local)

Gaddafi Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch is expected to be a paradise for batters, offering consistent bounce and excellent carry, making stroke play more rewarding. Fast bowlers might find some assistance with movement and seam early on, but as the game progresses, their impact could diminish due to the surface settling. With the passage of time, the pitch is likely to lose any ini?tial moisture, making run-scoring easier for set batters. However, as the track begins to dry out, spinners could come into play, extracting significant turn and bounce, especially in the latter stages. The slow nature of the wicket towards the end might test batters with variable spin and occasional grip. Overall, a high-scoring contest is expected, with spinners potentially playing a key role in the second half.

AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction Picks:

• Wicketkeeper: Jamie Smith
• Batters: Steve Smith, Travis Head, Ben Duckett
