Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will be taking on Phil Salt’s England in the second T20 International encounter of their ongoing three-game series at the Sophia Gardens Stadium of Cardiff on the 13th of September.
The Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable 28-run run in the first-match in Southampton. With the series now on the line for the hosts while the visitors will be looking to seal the series, the second T20I will be a really exciting one to watch.
In the first game, the Kangaroos managed to post a decent total of 179 runs on the board, thanks to a blistering fifty by Travis Head.
The Three Lions, who opted to field first, struggled to contain the run flow of the Aussie batting unit, with spin bowling all-rounder Liam Linvingstone, dismissing three batters.
However, the England batting unit weren’t able to cope up with the pressure created by the Australian’s and the Aussie bowling unit, under the leadership of Josh Hazelwood, did not allow the hosts to gain any kind of momentum and they ensured that the Three Lions didn’t get the opportunity of coming on the front foot.
Livingstone fought like a lone warrior and gave his absolute best in both the departments to help his side stay in the game but his lone efforts didn’t prove enough to help his team win the match.
The action of the two-fierce rivals will now shift to Cardiff, England will be looking to make a comeback and equalise the series while the Kangaroos, on the other hand, will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum and secure an early series win.
