Australia lost the first two ODI matches and, as a result, slipped to sixth place in the ICC ODI Championship. Australia had lost thirteen of their last fifteen completed ODIs, falling to a 34-year low in the ICC rankings. In the next match, England scored the highest innings total in ODIs, scoring 481 runs for the loss of six wickets and, in the process, won the series with two games to play. England won the ODI series 5–0, the first time that Australia had been whitewashed in a five-match ODI series against England. Twelve wickets taken by Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid each are the most for England spinners in a bilateral ODI series. England also won the one-off T20I match, by 28 runs.
