Australia and England meet at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Wednesday 18 November 2026 for the third and final one-day international of the series. The match is scheduled to start at 2:30 pm local time. The series opens at Optus Stadium, Perth, on 13 November and moves to Adelaide Oval on 15 November, so by the time the teams reach Tasmania the series will either be decided or level at 1-1.
What is at stake
With only three matches, every game matters, and Hobart may be a decider. The ODIs open England’s white-ball tour of Australia. Five T20Is follow, starting at the MCG in Melbourne on 21 November, so the final ODI is also the last match before the format changes. The sides last met in a white-ball series in Australia in late 2022, when England won the T20Is 2-0 and Australia won the ODIs 3-0.
England
Harry Brook captains England. Two 16-player squads were named in October, one for the ODIs and one for the T20Is. Jacob Bethell returns to the ODI group after recovering from the knee injury he suffered in England's ODI series win over India in July, and Jofra Archer is also included after being rested for the ODI tri-series in Pakistan.
Australia
No Australian squad or captain for the series has been published at the time of writing, so the home side’s line-up for Hobart is not known.
The venue
Bellerive Oval, beside the Derwent, is Tasmania’s home of cricket. No pitch report or forecast has been published for 18 November, so conditions are not known. Teams are announced at the toss.
No prediction or expected scores are given, as the Australian squad, the first two results and the conditions are not available.
