With England whacking Australia by eight runs in the second T20I to bag the series, the game at the Manuka Oval, Canberra on Friday (October 14) becomes nothing but a dead rubber. 

Talking about the second T20I, it was a deja vu for the visitors, who earlier thrashed Australia in the series opener by eight runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. England went on to outclass full-fledged Australia by eight runs once again in the second T20I to take an unassailable lead in the series. 

Beating Australia, that too on Australian soil, and clinching the T20I series would provide England huge confidence ahead of the T20 World Cup 2022. While for the hosts, there is a lot to ponder after their back-to-back flop shows against Jos Buttler-led outlet. 

Heading into the third and final T20I, an in-form England will be keen to set up a clean sweep over Australia and carry the momentum forward into the World Cup. Australia, on the other hand, would look to end the series with a strong push. 

Key Players 

  • Alex Hales: The in-form English opener is the leading run-scorer in the series with 88 runs in two matches at an average of 44 and a strike rate of 151.72.
  • Jos Buttler: The English captain has scored 85 runs in two innings at an average of 42.50 and a startling strike rate of 188.89.

  • David Warner: He is the second-highest run-scorer for Australia, having clobbered 77 runs in two innings at an average of 38.50.
