It is a far cry from the 2015 World Cup when Australia started the tournament with a thumping 111-run win over a hapless England.
The turnaround for Eoin Morgan and his side has been immense and it is all down to their fearless brand of cricket.
“England are up there as one of the best teams in the world in one-day cricket,” said Smith. “The way that they play, everyone just goes really hard and Joe Root is sort of the rock in the middle and guys just bat around him.” 180 151 151 16 5 119.2
