On one hand, Australia team A has placed themselves secure in the World Cup 2019, while the junior team has been impressive too- winning back to back encounters. Australia-A would not come head to head against Gloucestershire in the fifth and final ODI Australia A tour of UK at County Ground, Bristol on Tuesday.
Let me tell you, Australia is running unbeaten so far with 3-0 and they would be high on confidence after registering back to back wins. This the second time when both the teams would lock horns in this series. In the last encounter, Gloucestershire managed to score 246 runs in allotted overs, but Australia was much better with the bat and chased down the target in just 42 overs.
Let’ see if Gloucestershire would be able to take their vengeance or not.
