England vs Australia 1st T20I: Who Will Win?

Just before the T20 World Cup, Australia is all set to host England for a three-match T20I series. Both of these champion teams view these matches as a practice series. Both teams are anticipated to pitch their strongest eleven with the World Cup just around the way. Let us look into England vs Australia 1st T20I match details.

West Indies were easily defeated by Australia in the second T20I. Australia has become even more dangerous after Tim David emerged as the team’s finisher. Two victories have given the team led by Aaron Finch impetus. For the hosts, Glenn Maxwell’s performance is a minor worry. However, he was rested for the first T20I. Besides that, everyone made significant contributions.

On the other hand, England will be led by Jos Buttler. Following a calf injury, he will return. That is a major win for England because Buttler’s position at the top is crucial. Ben Stokes, a legendary all-rounder, is back and will be looking to make a difference in these three T20 Internationals.
