Australian Cricket Team had won the toss and had opted to bowl first. Australia recalled the trio: Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood & Pat Cummins for the match. England on the other side rested Mark Wood and Chris Woakes and in their place, Chris Jordan, and Reece Topley were included.

England batters were able to post a competitive total of 178-5 where scoring was not that easy. David Malan struck a half-century and was looking in great touch. Australia’s bowlers lost momentum in the middle overs as in the last 10 overs England managed to score 108 runs.

Ben Stokes’s Fantastic Fielding

The score at the end of 11th over the score was 88 -3. The match was evenly balanced For the 12th over, Sam Curran was given the ball. Mitchell Marsh went after Sam Curran on the very first ball of the over. It looked like it was six from the word go, but from nowhere Ben Stokes saved 4 runs for the team. That 4 runs can be very important in the later part of the game.

England on a Roll

England Cricket Team is making a statement that they are not in Australia to participate. Skipper Jos Buttler can be seen marshalling his troops. It won’t be wrong to say that the team has all of the sudden become a top contender for the T20 World Cup.

The team is not dependent on alone Jos Buttler to fire. The rise of Sam Curran is doing wonders for the team. The all-rounder has been around the team since 2018 and now looks like a regular member of the side. England will have to be consistent in T20 World Cup 2022 as a couple of losses can ruin everything.
