20-20 World Cup: England vs Australia – Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details and updates

England and Australia are all set to resume their rivalry in the ongoing edition of the 20-20 World Cup. The teams are yet to lose a match and by far have looked the most complete sides. England have looked a notch convincing than their archrivals, owing to their manner of wins against West Indies and Bangladesh.

The three Lions hardly broke a sweat and have managed to find different players stepping up to the task. If Adil Rashid was a handful against West Indies, then Tymal Mills rose to the occasion against Bangladesh. It is the bowlers who have made jobs easier for the batters. Jason Roy’s belligerent half-century set things nicely for the team against Bangladesh. 

Australia stuttered against South Africa and got to a nervy win but against Sri Lanka, they ticked all the boxes and registered a convincing seven-wicket victory. David Warner got back amongst runs by scoring a vital 65. The southpaw was well-supported by skipper Aaron Finch, who scored 37 runs. The opening pair’s contribution at the top is key for Australia’s success.
