Check out all the latest updates for the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match between Australia-England which will be played in Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Defending champions Australia will lock horns with the Jos Buttler-led team England in what is going to be a virtual knock-out game for the two teams in the 26th match of the T20 World Cup 2022. The two sides were deemed as favourites to make it to the semi-finals this year, but Australia’s early defeat to New Zealand and England facing an upset against Ireland in their previous fixtures has changed the equation.

Aaron Finch-led side produced a thumping batting display against Sri Lanka. Australians were wounded after that thrashing against New Zealand. They had to win by a big margin against Sri Lanka to get their net run rate back on track. The hosts slightly got their net run rate back.
England lost to Ireland and their mighty batting line-up came under the scanner yet again. Alex Hales has looked scratchy with the bat at the top. He has struck at a lowish strike rate and that has put pressure on others. Ben Stokes has also not fired and is averaging a dismal 10.74 in four innings.
