Our Tipster’s Angle

Based on current form, Host Australia will be confident of beating England in this Test as well.

The big positives for Australia were opener Marcus Harris getting crucial runs with the bat and Scott Boland taking six-for on his debut at MCG.  With the likes of Marnus Labuschagne, Steven Smith in decent form, Australia will be looking to deliver another clinical performance in this Sydney Test.

On the other hand, England have to bat for long periods to compete with Australia in this fourth Test.

The prediction is for Australia to register a hard-fought win over England.

Tip 1- Steve Smith to break his run-drought at SCG

By his standards, former captain Steve Smith has had quiet series with the bat. With 127 runs at an average of 31.75, Smith will be determined to score big runs in front of home crowd. He will take heart from the fact that he has phenomenal numbers in the Test matches played at SCG. In eight matches played, Smith has accumulated 823 runs at an average of 74.81 with three centuries and six half-centuries to his name. Given his incredible numbers at this venue, we can expect Steve Smith to score 40 runs or more against [email protected]

Tip 2- James Anderson to lead the bowling charge for England

The 39-year old put in an excellent performance for England in the Boxing Day Test played against Australia at MCG. He picked up four wickets in the match. The veteran pacer will be looking to do well in this Sydney Test. So we can expect veteran pacer James Anderson to take four wickets or more against [email protected]

Conclusion

Expect Australia to beat England by a comfortable margin and take a 4-0 lead in the Ashes series
