Fantasy tips for 4th Test between Australia and England.
Australia have clinched the Ashes 2025 with an unassailable 3-0 lead. Here is our AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction as England look to regain a semblance of pride. The Boxing Day Test will take place at Melbourne Cricket Ground.
England put on their best show of the tour in Adelaide, but it wasn’t enough to keep the series alive. Chasing 435 in the fourth innings, the visitors were in the game on multiple occasions thanks to Zak Crawley’s 85 at the top and Jamie Smith’s 60. But they could not make the most of it.
For Australia, Alex Carey hit a century and 72 in two innings while Travis Head smashed 170 in the second innings. Pat Cummins made his return after six months with six wickets in the match.
England have made a couple of changes for this game, while Australia will be without Cummins and Nathan Lyon.
