England Masters will play Australia Masters in the 15th game of the 2025 International Masters League on March 12. The game will be played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur and will begin at 7:30 PM IST.

Australia Masters will play England Masters in the 15th game of the league tomorrow evening at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur.

When England and Australia clash in a global sporting match, the eyes of the whole world will be glued to the game, with players on either side eager to emerge victorious.

With such Ashes background, this fight between the two Masters teams will be thrilling because some of the players have business left undone for the last two decades.

In spite of all the animosity between the teams, it is doubtful that anything will be at stake in the match, as Australia Masters will still be among the top four at the beginning and, for any dramatic change in the net run rate, will proceed to the knockout rounds.

Match Preview

England Masters

The English Masters had a terrible tournament. They lost all four of their games and are therefore eliminated from the semifinals. They come into this match on the heels of five straight losses. The team last played Sri Lanka Masters.

They lost heavily by nine wickets, and the Sri Lankan Masters surpassed England's target with ease through a 43-ball lead. England batted first and managed to score 146 runs but lost five wickets from their 20-over target.

English batsman and wicketkeeper Phil Mustard was in top shape for this tournament, and he batted in the first position. He scored 50 runs off 39 balls with three sixes and fours of the same number. A couple of other English batsmen also batted but could not record a good score.

The Sri Lankan opening batsmen foiled the chase by accumulating the necessary runs with nine wickets still intact. All the English bowlers were sent back and Dimitri Mascarenhas took the solitary wicket of the Sri Lankan team that was dismissed.

Australia Masters

Following a rather slow beginning, especially with the ball, the Australians picked up from where they had left against India and South Africa with two wins. Both these wins came by large margins of 95 and 137 runs respectively.

This leaves the Aussie Masters placed third in the standings with four points and also having the top net run rate among the tournament's teams with +2.631. They continued their previous game against South Africa by coming out with an astonishing 260 runs for losing just one wicket when batting first.

They then bowled out the Proteas Masters for 123 runs, winning by a margin of 137 runs. Captain Shane Watson was again in a fierce mood, scoring 122 runs from 61 balls, including nine sixes and as many fours. Callum Ferguson assisted him with 85 runs from 43 balls, including four sixes.

The South Africans were never in the running in this magnificent comeback. They lost wickets early and never staged a comeback. Ben Laughlin was Australia's most impressive bowler, taking three wickets for 18 runs from his four overs. Xavier Doherty and Bryce McGain took two wickets each.

Pitch Report

The Stadium hosted three tournament matches. The batsmen made the most of the conditions and dominated all three matches. The average first score here is 200, and the teams batting first have won twice.

Toss Prediction

The Raipur pitch is known for being a great batting surface. Both teams will likely aim to bat first and set a high score to put pressure on the opposition. We anticipate that the team winning the coin toss will choose to bat first.

Weather Report

On match day, expect hot weather with some sunshine at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur. The forecast for Wednesday evening predicts clear skies and humidity around 45%.

Head to Head

This will be the first encounter between the two Masters teams from these countries in the T20I format.

Venue Details

Batsmen can expect good bounce from the ball, and unless the bowlers have some tricks up their sleeves or can bowl with real pace, they may struggle to contain the runs. A score of over 200 seems to be the benchmark.

Match Prediction

Given that the England Masters has a relatively weak batting lineup, this match could turn out to be quite one-sided. Recent months have been tough for English cricket fans, and we foresee another defeat against Australia in this match!
