Tue Sep 24 18:46:31 UTC 2024: ## Australia Rest Travis Head for Third ODI Against England
**Leeds, England:** Australia’s impressive winning streak in ODIs continues, but the team has made two changes to their lineup for the third match against England on Tuesday.
Opener Travis Head, who has been instrumental in Australia’s recent success, has been rested for the match. The decision comes after the team’s dominant 2-0 lead in the series. Head will be replaced by Cameron Green, while Adam Zampa, who is reportedly ill, will be replaced by Sean Abbott.
Despite the changes, Australia remains confident in their ability to secure a series victory. Captain Mitchell Marsh expressed his belief in the team’s chances, stating that “we got a good chance to win the series today.”
Australia’s current winning streak stretches back to the Cricket World Cup in India, where they won nine consecutive matches after a disappointing start. The team has maintained this momentum, whitewashing the West Indies at home and winning the first two matches of the ongoing series against England.
The team’s 14 consecutive victories in ODIs puts them second on the all-time list, surpassing Sri Lanka’s streak of 13 in 2023. Only Australia’s own record of 21 consecutive victories in 2003 remains higher.
The next match in the series will be played in Chester-le-Street on September 24, with Australia aiming to solidify their position as the world’s top-ranked ODI team.
