England will fancy another victory in the shortest format against Australia on Wednesday, October 12 at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The visitors are leading the series by 1-0 and another win will push them to the trophy. It was a high-scoring thriller in the first T20 International as England cruised to a victory by eight runs.
Alex Hales and Jos Buttler made a mockery of the host as they took their team to a massive score of 208 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Chasing the score, the Kangaroos made good efforts, with David Warner slamming 73 runs. However, the seam duo of Sam Curran and Mark Wood thwarted Australia’s hopes.
Aaron Finch & Men will have the last chance on Wednesday to save themselves from the embarrassment of losing the T20I series at home.
