England kickstarted their tour of Australia with a bang as the Jos Buttler-led unit overpowered Australia by 8 runs in a high-scoring affair at the Perth Stadium on Sunday (October 9th).
Batting first, England got off to a sensational start as the opening duo of Buttler (68 off 32) and Alex Hales (84 off 51) hammered 132 runs in just 11.2 overs.
While Buttler hammered 8 fours and 4 sixes in his 32-ball 68, Hales laid into the inexperienced Aussie attack, smashing 12 fours and three maximums.
The partnership was finally broken by Nathan Ellis, who once again impressed with his disciplined bowling.
The dismissal brought Australia back in the game as the visitors could only manage 41 runs off their last 5 overs to finish at 208/6.
