New Delhi: England will face Australia in the second T20I of the three-match series at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Friday. After taking a 1-0 lead against the hosts, Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will look to continue the winning momentum to sweep the series while England will aim at a turnaround to level the series and take things forward to the decider.
The arch-rivals are known for producing electrifying battles, specially in the shortest format. In the first T20I, England opted to bowl first on Wednesday against the visitors who took advantage of their decision and put up a reputable total on the scoreboard. Spearheaded by opener Travis Head’s quickfire 59, Matthew Short’s crucial 41, and Josh Inglis’ 37 from the middle, Australia posted 179-all out in 19.3 overs.
Coming out to chase, after a few early blows, England were well on track to chase the target as Liam Livingstone and Sam Curran stitched a 54-run stand for the fifth wicket. Both handled the innings when England were 54/4 in 7.4 overs but it all went down the hill when their derailment started in the 13th over. The Australian bowlers took wickets in quick succession and restricted them to 151 in 19.2 overs to win the game by 28 runs. Sean Abbott was the pick of the bowlers, bagging three wickets, followed by Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa’s double strike.
