PREVIEW: Something has to give at the Dubai International Stadium on Saturday (October 30). England and Australia are both unbeaten in the Super 12s, with two wins from two, but one of those sides will lose their perfect record when they meet in the biggest game of Group 1 to date. Remarkably it will be the first time England and Australia have met in the T20 World Cup since the final in Barbados in 2010 when Paul Collingwood lifted the trophy having secured England's first-ever global white-ball title.

Both teams will feel confident of their chances this time around. England have hit the ground running by thrashing both the West Indies and Bangladesh in their opening two matches without even having to get out of second gear. Australia will feel confident too, because while they were made to work hard against South Africa in the opening game, they delivered a more dominant performance against Sri Lanka on Thursday with their opening batters, Aaron Finch and David Warner, finally finding some form.

Australia may well feel the more battled hardened of the two sides as well. Eoin Morgan was keen to emphasise that his side's two comfortable victories were down to the pressure England exerted on West Indies and Bangladesh and while that is clearly true, they were hardly stretched either. As a result, they may feel a little underdone heading into this game. Australia, on the other hand, had to fight hard to beat South Africa, and in the Sri Lanka game, they had their moments with the bat too which forced Australia to respond. England have hardly been pushed at all.

Maxwell, Stoinis and Mitchell Marsh, if he bowls, will no doubt be targeted by England who themselves have adopted a similar approach to Australia with Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone sharing the fifth bowler duties. The team that scores most from these overs could well determine the winner of this game.

When: England v Australia, Super 12 Group 1, 18:00 Local, 19:30 IST

Where: Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai

What to expect: The side batting second has won nine of the ten Super 12 matches in Dubai in this tournament which makes the toss appears crucial, particularly if the dew makes bowling second difficult. The position of the pitch could make things interesting too if there is a shorter boundary on one side for the batsmen to try and target. Generally, the pitches in Dubai have led to a decent contest between bat and ball and it is likely to be a similar situation for this game.

T20I Head-to-Head: Australia and England have played 19 T20Is with Australia winning ten and England eight (there was one no result). In two T20 World Cup matches, the record is one win apiece. England's victory in the 2010 final is the last time these two teams have met at a T20 World Cup.

Team Watch:

England

Injury/Availability Concerns: Eoin Morgan said both Mark Wood and Tom Curran were making progress after being ruled out of both games so far because of niggles. No decision has yet been made on whether either will play.

Tactics & Match-ups: Moeen Ali has bowled three overs in the Powerplay in both of England's matches so far but Australia have only one left-hander in their top six and Aaron Finch's record against Moeen is excellent which would make that tactic a risk in this game. Perhaps Adil Rashid might be an option if Eoin Morgan wants to bowl spin in the Powerplay. Rashid's record against Finch is good and has the added advantage of being able to turn the ball away from both left and right-handed batters.

Australia

Injury/Availability Concerns: Australia have no injury concerns ahead of this game which means a full squad to pick from.

Tactics & Match-ups: For much of his T20I career, Mitchell Starc has often bowled two overs in the Powerplay for Australia but in their two matches to date in this World Cup, he has bowled just one and been utilised instead in the middle overs, providing a crucial wicket-taking option in that phase of the match. Stark bowled the 11th and 13th overs against Sri Lanka and took two wickets in that spell. With England's middle order short of time at the crease, the left-armer may reprise that role in this game too.

Teams:
England Squad: Jason Roy, Jos Buttler(w), Dawid Malan, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan(c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Tymal Mills, David Willey, Tom Curran, Mark Wood, Sam Billings

Australia Squad: David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Glenn Maxwell, Steven Smith, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Marsh, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood, Kane Richardson, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Swepson, Josh Inglis
