All the major stats and facts ahead of the second T20I between England and Australia in Southampton.
England will take on Australia in the second T20I match at The Rose Bowl in Southampton tonight. After a thrilling 2 runs win in the first match England leads 1-0 in the series and now will look to seal the series. On the other hand, disappointed Australia will look to bounce back.
In the first match England openers especially Jos Buttler began very well and took the full advantage of power play but after that middle order crumbled and somehow Dawid Malan took his team to a fighting total and later bowlers did a fine job.
On the other hand, Australia was in the game most of the time and it's looking an easy win when they needed only 39 runs off 36 balls with 9 wickets in the hand but somehow they managed to lose it. Their openers had a brilliant game and they will look to carry on and will hope the likes of Steve Smith and Glenn Maxwell too will come good and in the lower order, Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis need to do a better job as finishers.
