AUS vs ENG 2nd T20I: The second T20I between Australia and England is scheduled to take place on Friday at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. Australia outplayed England in the first game, winning the game by 28 runs, and thereby taking 1-0 lead.
England, on the other hand, made a good comeback with the ball in the latter half of the innings. However, they faltered completely with the bat. It will be interesting to see how they stage a fight back from here. Another defeat would end their chance of winning the series.
Australian Team Review:
The brutal hitting from Travis Head in the powerplay is serving Australia pretty well. The southpaw is unstoppable at the moment and is likely to play another top-notch innings on Friday. Australia notched 118 in the first 10 overs in the first T20I, thanks to the partnership between Head and Mathew Short.
The latter was also brilliant during his 26-ball 41. However, once both the openers departed, it triggered a collapse. Despite getting out on low score, you can bet on the likes of Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis to come good.
With the ball, Josh Hazlewood was nothing short of the sensational. He hit the right lengths consistently and reaped rewards as well. He returned with two wickets, while Sean Abott picked three.
Adam Zampa continues to do what he does the best- apply the brakes in the middle overs and pick wickets. He returned with 2 for 20 in four overs.
England Team Review:
The home team exhibited a lackluster performance with the bat. Phil Salt got a good start for his 12-ball 20 but failed to capitalize. Will Jacks (6), Jordan Cox (17), and Bethell (2 off 6) didn’t look like they could take the game away.
It was a good game for Liam Livingstone, though, who made great returns with both bat and ball. He picked three wickets and scored 37 off 27. The Englishman could be handed a promotion in the batting order in the next game.
Sam Curran had an average day at the office but you should still back him in your fantasy team. Jofra Archer didn’t start well with the ball but came back pretty well. He finished with 2 for 31. Mahmood also picked two wickets with the ball.

AUS vs ENG 2nd T20I Pitch Report
The Sophia Gardens stadium doesn’t usually stage big international games. So far, nine T20Is have been played at this ground and the team batting second have won on six occasions. As the trend suggests, the team winning the toss should opt to bowl first.
There will be some movement on offer early on and there is something for the spinners as the game progresses. Having said that, the batters should love to spend time in the middle. Anything above 180 should be a pretty good score here.
Today Match Weather Report
The weather remains mostly sunny with the temperature hovering between 7 and 15 degrees Celsius. The wind will blow at a speed of 11 kmph, while the humidity stands at 63 percent. As per the forecast, there is a 1 percent chance of rain affecting the game.
