Tests
The 2025-26 Men’s Ashes Series will kick off in Perth from 21-25 November at Optus Stadium – marking its inaugural hosting of an Ashes match – before moving onto Adelaide Oval, Melbourne Cricket Ground, Sydney Cricket Ground and finally Boxing Day Test (26-30 December).
England and Australia have held one of the longest running rivalries in international sports for more than 150 years, boasting an epic history full of drama, passion and memorable moments. Over 361 test matches between these teams have taken place; Australia currently hold an edge; having won 152 out of those 361 contests while England only managed 91 victories.
Australia continues its dominance against England in One-Day Internationals (ODIs). Since 2006, they have played 162 ODIs; Australia has won 90 out of them while England has taken 65 wins with two ending in draws.
Australia’s ODI team surprised many this year when it posted an unbeaten record to win the World Cup tournament unbeaten, which marked an amazing turnaround after their opening two games when they fell victim to India and South Africa respectively. Australia became only country ever before or since to achieve such an unprecedented achievement – becoming one of only 14 nations ever before to have recorded consecutive ODI victories for such an extended stretch.
England will look to rebound after their 3-0 drubbing by India in the opening match of this year’s ICC T20 World Cup in Barbados on Saturday. Jos Buttler-led England batsmen hope to add to the six runs they’ve scored so far; wicketkeeper-batsman Jos Buttler leads with five runs from three innings so far.
ODIs
ODIs represent the pinnacle of limited-overs cricket. Played between teams with international status and part of the annual ICC World Cup tournament, they provide Australia a superior advantage over England in this format; winning more than half their matches between them overall; however, England have enjoyed some notable successes on Australian soil including winning their respective Ashes series 2-1 back in 2015.
In Victoria, Australia’s inaugural men’s national cricket team was established by stockmen and station hands who learned cricket on cattle stations. By 1868, an official representative team from Australia called “Australia XI” traveled to England for county cricket matches, marking its inaugural international tour.
Australia and England’s rivalry has only intensified since then. Both teams possess impressive records in limited-over formats; Australia holds an edge over England in Tests; however, Australia leads in terms of overall ODI and T20I rankings and it will likely take both sides some time before another team overtakes Australia in either format.
Australia has been dominating in recent ODIs and appears poised to claim victory. England have struggled in these matches; they will need a good performance at The Rose Bowl in Southampton in order to claim a victory and claim bragging rights over Australia.
The inaugural One Day International was an exciting affair, with both teams scoring over 200 runs each. Australia’s batsmen gave an outstanding performance, with Alex Carey and Mitchell Marsh hitting half-centuries that helped set a strong pace for Australia’s innings. But England’s bowlers kept up and took key wickets off them to score over 200.
T20Is
Australia had long held their own against England when it comes to short format international cricket; and on January 9, 2007, at Sydney Cricket Ground they finally got the upper hand by defeating them by 77 runs with Cameron White being awarded man-of-the-match for an exceptional performance.
This match marked the latest of several one-day internationals and Twenty20 internationals between England and Australia, who have met 26 times so far in this shortest format of cricket; both sides having won 12 matches. England currently lead with 11 victories to just three losses while Australia have nine victories with only four losses.
England’s batting has struggled in the T20I series, as their batsmen are failing to form solid partnerships. Conversely, Australia have managed to consistently pick up wickets through bowling which has helped them maintain an advantageous lead throughout.
Both teams will gain tremendous confidence from their performances in T20Is and ODIs, helping them prepare for next year’s ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. England will look to make amends for their heavy defeat in 2023 Ashes series while Australia seeks to improve on recent home form issues.
The Australian national selection panel announced 14-player squads for both T20 and ODI series against England, with Mitchell Marsh retaining captaincy of white ball team. Pat Cummins was rested from T20Is as part of long-term load management strategy, while Glenn Maxwell will miss this series due to recovering from foot injury.

Both sides boast impressive records in this competition, although Australia may hold an edge. T20Is are played whereby the home team bats first then bowls second before visitors bat first then bowl in fourth over, until either total number of runs are reached or innings completes whichever comes first.
On February 17, 2005, Australia and New Zealand hosted their inaugural men’s Twenty20 International in Auckland, and it proved an enormous success attracting young viewers and expanding global access. Furthermore, this format contributed significantly towards cricket returning to Olympic competition by 2028.
On June 23, Australia won their fourth consecutive T20I against England by 77 runs, strengthening their lead at the top of the standings and cementing their advantage in this long-running rivalry. Both sides have experienced triumph and hardship throughout this tumultuous history of competition between them.
England and Australia have faced off in 162 ODIs since 2003; England holds an edge with 65 victories against 92 for Australia – although 10 matches ended up tied. Their next meeting will take place in Brisbane where both teams hope to take home their first win since 2015. England currently ranks fifth overall while taking on South Africa for two-Test and three T20I series from July 6-24th that will be shown live by Sky Sports and other platforms.
Test Timeline
England and Australia are widely respected for their intense rivalry, best exemplified by the Ashes series since 1882. Both sides have experienced triumph and defeat throughout this long series – always coming back stronger than before – yet fans should expect a high-stakes battle during their next encounter at Melbourne Cricket Ground, Australia.
Australia and England have an lopsided history when it comes to One Day International matches; Australia have won 92% of 162 meetings; England have only managed 65 wins while three ended without result. Their last meeting came in 2023 where Australia defeated England 3-1.
On Saturday, Australia men’s cricket team defeated England by 68 runs at Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds. David Warner scored 39 runs off just 16 deliveries while captain Mitchell Marsh made 35 off 25 to help Australia amass 201/7 from their 20-over innings and Adam Zampa bowled well against England to limit them to only 165/6 against their response.
Jos Buttler’s side were clearly the better side in this ODI, yet were unable to turn their superior performance into wins. England have suffered their fourth consecutive ODI defeat. To get back on track they must reconsider their strategies and play smarter; but don’t rule them out yet as there is still time for more wins in group matches and potential passage to quarterfinals if possible.
