Outplayed in all departments, England suffer heaviest ODI loss

Based on DLS calculations, England were asked to chase 364 in 48 overs to avoid the ignominy of a series sweep at the hands of Australia. They fell miserably short of the traget as Australia’s pacers and Adam Zampa shone after the batting onslaught. England finished 221 shy, 10 adrift of Travis Head’s personal score. It was their heaviest ODI defeat ever.
