Australia were all over England in the first T20I. It seemed England were clueless in front of the Australian bowling attack but this wrong fame didn’t last long and England tore a strip off the Aussies bowlers.
It was the Travis Head show in the first T20I where Australia defeated England by 28 runs. Australia would have wanted to repeat similar action in the second T20I but the home team was well prepared this time.
The ruthless hitting of Liam Livingstone and Jacob Bethall in the middle overs made the 190+ target look so small that England got one more over to spear. England would be pleased to see Liam Livingstone back in the form he is known for!
Australia also had some positives from the match as the young sensation McGurk got his maiden 50 and Mat Short’s bowling was impressive too.
The two teams will be anticipating the final showdown to go their way. Let’s take a look at the AUS vs ENG 3rd T20I Match Details, Playing11s, Squad, Pitch Report, and Dream11 Prediction:
