Why these numbers

Hunch. England won a one-day series against Sri Lanka on 27 September, their sixth series win in short-format cricket this year.

How this resolves

The series market resolves on the ECB results page after the third game in Hobart on 18 November: YES if Australia have won more of the three games than England, NO if England have won more, and VOID if the series ends level, for example 1-1 with a game rained off. BBC Sport and The Guardian settle it if the ECB page is silent.

The pattern behind it

5 of 7
Five of seven times a visiting team began its season in Australia with a short one-day series, Australia won more games. South Africa in 2018 and Pakistan in 2024 won, both in the last game.

We looked for cases where a visiting team began its season in Australia with a short one-day series of two to five games, from 2006 to 2026. We found seven such series, and Australia won five. England's four one-day series in Australia since 2011 are not among them: three came after Test series on the same tour, and in 2022 England rested four players.
