The pressure is high on both sides, with Australia defending the Ashes on home soil and England aiming to regain the Ashes on foreign soil.

Expectations are high for the visitors, who will have to overcome both Australian conditions and a strong home crowd to make a mark in this high-stakes series.
David Warner predicts the scoreline of Ashes 2025-26
Former Australian opener david warner Recently shared his bold prediction for the series during Kayo Sports’ Summer of Cricket launch. Warner rejected the notion of an easy encounter for England, emphasizing Australia’s motivation to play for the Ashes, which he called a ‘moral victory’ for the visitors.
“The Australian way will prevail because we are playing for the Ashes and they are playing for a moral victory. That’s your title,” Warner said.
When pressed about the likely series scoreline, Warner confidently predicted a 4–0 Australia victory. He generally acknowledged the possibility of a washout in one of the matches in Sydney, or suggested that England might gain an advantage if the captain remained. pat cummins Missed a game.
“I’ll just stick to 4-0. There’s going to be a defeat somewhere, it’s usually Sydney. It’s going to be 4-0. It’s going to be a great series. Everything depends on the captain, Pat Cummins. If the captain doesn’t play, they can win a game. If Cummins is there, then 4-0. If not, they’ll probably only win one game.” Warner added.

Pat Cummins’ availability for the Perth Test remains uncertain
Adding another layer of intrigue to the series, Australia captain and leader Cummins could miss the opening Test starting in Perth from November 21. Cummins is recovering from a back injury and recently described his chances of playing the first Test as ‘less than likely’. His absence will be a major blow for Australia, as the fast bowler has not bowled since the last Test series in the Caribbean in July and has been sidelined since being diagnosed with a lumbar strain problem in early September.
“I would say probably less likely than not, but we still have a little time,” Cummins said while talking to reporters on Monday.
Cummins’ fitness will be closely monitored in the coming weeks, and his participation – or lack thereof – could play a key role in shaping the outcome of the series. Warner’s prediction suggests England may have a slim chance to make an impact if he misses any matches.
