Marnus Labuschagne falls short of his fifty in high-profile clash
The 30-year-old Labuschagne played confident cricket while chasing a huge total of 352 runs against arch-rivals England National Cricket Team.
After coming out to bat at the No.4 spot, he hit some terrific boundaries to put some pressure back on the English team. However, he was unable to convert his aggressive start into a big score.
Marnus Labuschagne's counterattack knock ended in the 20th over of the innings and he fell short of a well-deserved half-century in the match.
On the second ball of the 20th over, the veteran leg-spinner Adil Rashid bowled a slow tossed-up delivery to the Aussie batter wide outside off-stump.
Labuschagne smashed the ball to the cover region without much elevation, and Jos Buttler took a sharp catch to dismiss him. Marnus Labuschagne gave an angry reaction after getting out and he looked extremely disappointed.
He scored 47 runs off 45 balls, with 5 fours and after his dismissal, the Australia National Cricket Team were left struggling at 122/3.

The Three Lions were set for a total in excess of 350, but they suffered a dramatic collapse, losing 8 wickets for 107 runs. Travis Head led the bowling attack for Australia with a career-best 4/28, while Aaron Hardie (2/38), Adam Zampa (2/74) and Glenn Maxwell (2/49) also contributed very well.
