Australia vs England Match Report, ODI 2026
Australia beat England by 7 wickets (with 159 balls remaining) – 1st ODI Report
Match report, Fri 13 Nov
Australia won by 7 wickets (with 159 balls remaining) in the 68th match of 77 in the One Day International series at Perth Stadium. Mahli Beardman produced a devastating bowling display with 6 for 24 from 7.4 overs to dismantle England’s batting order and steer the hosts to a commanding victory in the 1st ODI.
England’s Collapse
England won the toss but Australia’s decision to bowl proved decisive. Tom Banton made 25 off 27 balls (5 fours) before falling at 38 for 1 in the 8.6th over, but the real damage came through the middle order. Ben Duckett fell for 9 at 24 for 2, Joe Root managed 17 off 36 at 55 for 3, and Harry Brook departed for just 1 at 42 for 4. Jordan Cox (2) and Sam Curran (0) continued the rot, leaving England in tatters at 58 for 6.
Will Jacks steadied the ship with 25 off 47 balls (2 fours), but Liam Dawson fell for 0 at 60 for 7 and Jamie Overton managed just 4 at 65 for 8. Gus Atkinson provided late resistance with 29 off 32 (3 fours, 1 six) to lift England to 131, while Jofra Archer contributed 11 off 16 (2 fours) at the death.
Mahli Beardman was the architect of England’s downfall, claiming 6 for 24 at an economy of 3.13 with 1 maiden. Spencer Johnson took 3 for 42 from 9 overs, while Xavier Bartlett claimed 1 for 46 from 10.
Australia’s Clinical Chase
Mitchell Marsh set the tone with a blistering 50 off 30 balls (4 fours, 4 sixes) at a strike rate of 167, putting Australia firmly in control at 67 for 1 in the 8.3rd over. Travis Head fell for a duck at 6 for 1 in the 1.1st over, bowled by Gus Atkinson, but Cooper Connolly (27 off 30, 2 fours, 2 sixes) and Josh Inglis (23 off 42, 2 fours) built a steady partnership. Matt Renshaw finished unbeaten on 26 off 38 (5 fours) as Australia cruised home in 23.3 overs with 3 wickets in hand.
Jofra Archer took 1 for 48 from 8 overs, Gus Atkinson claimed 1 for 40 from 10, and Jamie Overton took 1 for 35 from 4.3, but England’s bowling lacked the penetration to trouble Australia’s top order.

Turning Point
The match turned decisively when Mahli Beardman entered the attack in England’s innings. His opening spell saw Joe Root caught at 55 for 3 in the 13.6th over, followed by rapid-fire dismissals of Jordan Cox and Sam Curran. By the time Liam Dawson fell for 0 at 60 for 7 in the 17.4th over, England’s innings had collapsed beyond repair. Beardman’s 6 for 24 left Australia needing just 132 – a target they chased down with contemptuous ease.
Match Context
This was the 68th match of 77 in the One Day International series. Australia’s dominant performance in the 1st ODI at Perth Stadium sets them up perfectly for the remainder of the series. England will need to regroup significantly after a batting collapse that saw them lose 9 wickets for 93 runs.
