Who will win today's second Twenty20 International match between England and Australia?
Who will win today's second Twenty20 International match between England and Australia?
Following a brilliant start by the visitors during the powerplay, when they amassed 86 runs off it thanks to the openers' total belligerence, the middle overs witnessed a dramatic collapse that resembled England's during their opening innings of the third Test. With three balls remaining, England cleaned up Australia to restrict them to 179 thanks to the leg-spin of Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone.
England had only scored 46 when they lost a few more wickets than the Australians during their powerplay. The match was skewed in favour of England until Livingstone took up residence at the crease. Ultimately, England was defeated by 28

Given that England has less T20I experience than Australia, they shouldn't place too much emphasis on the performance. They would be eager to perform better this time around.
Pitch Report for Sophia Gardens
When it comes to international cricket, the Sophia Gardens is not an often used site. Six of the nine Twenty20 Internationals held here have been won by the chasing side. Since the side that wins the toss will almost certainly have a bowl first, more of the same is anticipated.

ENG versus AUS Most likely Best Players in the Match
Most likely Travis Head is the best batter.
The fiery southpaw has been playing at his peak lately, demonstrating why he is regarded as one of the world's most formidable cricket ball hitters. Head seemed like he was meant for much more than what he was showing in the opening matches of the England and Scotland tours. In the second game of the series, he would be eager to pile on more runs.

Best Bowler to Watch: Adam Zampa
Every time the skilful leg-spinner has onto the field, he has been on a rampage, taking wickets. Being the top wicket-taker at The Hundred 2024 will only give the spinner more self-assurance. When the second game rolled around, he would be more than happy to add to his total.
