ENG vs AUS 2nd T20I: All you need to know, playing XI, head to head
Australia and England are gearing up for the second T20I match of their three-game series, with the action set to unfold on Friday in Wales. The first T20I saw Australia secure an amazing 28-run victory, giving them a 1-0 lead in the series. Travis Head continued with his batting onslaught, blazing 59 off 23. He was well backed up by Matt Short and Josh Inglis, adding crucial (41) and (37) runs respectively.
In the first game, Australia demonstrated impressive form, showcasing both their batting and bowling prowess. Their victory was marked by a well-rounded team effort, with key players both in batting and bowling departments stepping up to deliver crucial performances.
