AUS vs ENG: Australia will lock horns against England in the 2nd T20I of the England tour of Australia, 2022 on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at Manuka Oval, Canberra.
England have already taken a 1-0 lead in the three-match T20I series by winning the series opener by eight runs. They will look to win the second game and claim an unassailable lead in the series.
Talking about the first T20I, Jos Buttler made a stellar comeback and whacked a belligerent half-century to provide a bright start. Alex Hales was ruthless with the bat as he clobbered 84 runs off just 51 balls and added 132 runs opening a partnership alongside skipper Buttler.
England finished with a mammoth total of 208 runs with the loss of six wickets in the stipulated 20 overs. In reply, Australia fell just eight runs short of the target despite David Warner hitting a quickfire half-century.
The likes of Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood will return to the team after being rested for the opening T20I. For England, they are expected to remain unchanged.
