(Cricket news) After the thrilling draw in Sydney, England will look to finish what has been a disappointing tour with a win. Australia on the other hand would be very keen to make sure they win the match and jump higher in the WTC table. The way England fought in Sydney will give the side a lot of confidence. They just need a few things to go their way in order to convert their efforts into victory at the Bellerive Oval.

Australia Possible Playing XI:

David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Alex Carey (wk), Pat Cummins (c), Mitchell Starc, Jhye Richardson, Nathan Lyon.

Pat Cummins has already confirmed that Usman Khawaja will open the innings to make way for Travis Head in the middle order with Marcus Harris being dropped. Khawaja's two centuries in Sydney have made him undroppable. Josh Hazelwood has been ruled out of the match while Scott Boland will have a late fitness Test. Jhye Richardson could get another opportunity in the side. Mitchell Starc will be the main man because of his incredible record with the pink ball.

England possible playing XI:

Zak Crawley, Haseeb Hameed, Dawid Malan, Joe Root (c), Ben Stokes, Sam Billings, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, Jack Leach, James Anderson.

Jos Buttler has been sent back home after a finger injury which puts last games centurian Bairstow incharge of the gloves with Sam Billings all set to make his Test debut. The only other player whose position is in doubt is Haseeb Hameed but England don't have any other opener apart from Rory Burns who was himself dropped due to poor form. 

Weather and Pitch report:

The first 3 days have cloud cover and showers predicted. The last two days are expected to be mostly sunny. This will only be the 14th Test match at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. The pitch is expected to be a good one to bat on as the ball should come onto the bat nicely. The surface at Hobart doesn't have much assistance for the bowlers. 

England desperately needs this victory but it won't come easy. Australia have an excellent record in pink ball Tests while England have been unimpressive with the pink ball.
