Australia Clinches ODI Series Against England in Rain-Affected Decider

Australia's victory by 49 runs via the DLS method sealed a 3-2 series win after England's batting collapse in Bristol.

Australia won the series 3-2 after a rain-affected fifth ODI in Bristol, securing victory by 49 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.
England, led by stand-in captain Harry Brook, posted 309 all out, with Ben Duckett scoring a century and Brook contributing 72 runs.
Australia's Travis Head took four crucial wickets, including Duckett's, to stifle England's batting momentum.
Matthew Short's rapid 58 off 30 balls helped Australia stay ahead of the required rate before rain halted play.
The rain arrived just after the mandatory 20-over mark, ensuring Australia was declared the winner under DLS rules.
