England amassed an imposing 355-6—their highest ODI total on Australian soil—courtesy of a magnificent 121 from Tom Banton and complementary half-centuries from Jordan Cox and Joe Root. The pace attack then tore through the hosts' top order, reducing Australia to 29-4 inside seven overs. Despite resilient half-centuries from Cameron Green and Matt Renshaw, Gus Atkinson's career-best bowling figures of 4-28 ensured the hosts were bowled out for 220 in 44.3 overs.
