Australia vs England 2018, 5th ODI - What went wrong for the hosts

#2 Loss of Stoinis and Maxwell in quick succession

Stoinis departed after a well-made 87

Marcus Stoinis has established himself as an able all-rounder in the limited overs format. Batting at number three, the right-hander took the charge to the England bowlers and ensured that they were cruising to victory. He was accompanied in the middle by maverick Glenn Maxwell at the loss of the fourth wicket. The duo went about their business expertly and added 56 runs for the fourth wicket.

However, in the quest to keep the pressure on England bowlers, Stoinis fell for 87 and in a couple of overs, Maxwell was dismissed as well. These dismissals spelt doom for the Australian chase although Tim Paine gave surreal hope batting with the tailenders.
