Thu Sep 19 12:07:42 UTC 2024: ## England Dominate Australia in First ODI, Duckett Leads the Charge
**Manchester, England** – England stormed to a convincing victory in the first One Day International against Australia at Old Trafford, setting the tone for a potential series win. The hosts piled on the runs, thanks to a dominant display by Ben Duckett, who smashed a blistering 73 off just 46 balls.
Duckett, in particular, was a force of nature, smashing boundaries with ease and guiding England to a commanding lead. He was supported well by Phil Salt, who contributed a valuable 36 runs. The Australian bowlers were left struggling to contain the English onslaught, with only Ben Dwarshuis managing to take a wicket in the first innings.
The series, following a tense three-match T20I series that ended in a draw, promises to be exciting and competitive. The two teams are known for their aggressive batting styles and will look to push their limits in the remaining four ODIs.
**The next match in the series is scheduled for Sunday at Lord’s.**
