AUS vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 5, Australia vs England test series 2025-26

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 5th test of The Ashes 2025-26 between AUS vs ENG to be played in Sydney.

England secured their first Test victory in Australia after 19 attempts by defeating the hosts at the fourth Test at the MCG. It took England more than a decade to find a test win in Australia.

After losing the first three Tests and The Ashes 2025-26 series, their aggressive approach finally brought them success in this series. Australia also played poorly and made many mistakes with the bat, which cost them valuable WTC points.

But the home team will be desperate to make a comeback and won’t give England the chance to celebrate consecutive Test victories. The final test of the Ashes 2025-26 will be held at Sydney Cricket Ground, starting on January 4 at 5 AM IST.

After suffering backlash, England found a rhythm with a win in the last test. They will be hoping to finish the series 2-3. This is the farewell test for Usman Khawaja, and Australia will look to give him a winning goodbye.

AUS vs ENG: Pitch Report

The wicket at SCG is good for batting, which slows down with time. Spinners will have a key role to play on the last two days as the wicket will get slightly sluggish.

The bounce here is not as good as in other Australian venues. However, the overcast conditions or rain can add more for the fast bowlers in the first two days.
