Home Side England (ENG) are set to lock horns against Ashes-Rivals Australia in the first T20i of the three-match T20 International series at Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium on Wednesday, 11th of September.&nbsp;



The Aussies are entering the series on the back of a comfortable 3-0 series whitewash over Scotland while England on the other hand won the three-match test series against Sri Lanka by a margin of 2-1 but their defeat in the third test match has significantly shifted away the momentum.&nbsp;



Before the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Kangaroos had whitewashed New Zealand by a margin of 3-0 in the three-match T20 International series and they were expected to perform well in the T20 World Cup. However, they had a Forgettable T20 World Cup campaign as they got knocked out in the super eight stage after suffering a shocking defeat versus Afghanistan by 21 runs.&nbsp;



But things have improved since then and the 2021 T20 World Cup winners have returned to their winning groove.&nbsp;



England on the other hand have played many dull white-ball matches which have raised questions about their chances of winning the series against their rivals. The Three Lions played two T20 International series before the 2024 T20 World Cup and lost 3-1 versus the West Indies but they secured a 2-0 win against Pakistan.&nbsp;



In the recently concluded T20 World Cup, things didn't go according to plan for the Three Lions and they crashed out of the tournament after losing to India in the semi finals. England haven't played a T20i match since then and they will be looking to get back to winning ways in the shortest format of the game by winning against their fierce rivals.?

The pitch of Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium is known to favour batters and the average first-inning score at this ground is 172 runs. This does not mean the chasing team will not have any kind of advantages.&nbsp;



The pitch offers the same amount of support to the chasing side as well as the&nbsp; deck remains the same for the majority part of the match. The Aussies managed to score 248 runs at this very venue against England back in 2013 and that score still remains the highest one scored by any team at this ground.&nbsp;



In terms of bowling, the seamers will make the new ball talk with early-swing in the first six overs and as the game progresses, the spinners will have a big say as well. The weather is expected to be overcast with just a 13% chance of rain.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">England vs Australia 1st T20i International: Head to Head records in T20I?s of both the teams</h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Best players of the first T20 International between England and Australia (Predicted)&nbsp;</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Best Batter (Predicted): Travis Head</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image alignfull size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1802411227-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146903" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Travis Head of Australia poses after being named Player of the Match following the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup India 2023 Final between India and Australia at Narendra Modi Stadium on November 19, 2023 in Ahmedabad, India.

Australia?s star batter Travis Head is in outstanding form and he was at his best in the first T20I versus Scotland as the southpaw scored 80 runs off just 25 deliveries and helped his side get over the line comfortably. His inning consisted of 12 fours and five sixes and he remained not-out with a strike-rate of 320 next to his name.&nbsp;



Thus, the Kangaroos will be hoping that the 30 year old continues to remain in good Nick with the bat and help them win against England in the first T20 International.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Best Bowler (Predicted): Sean Abbott</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1984515132-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-146906" style="width:625px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Sean Abbott of Australia celebrates taking the wicket of Kjorn Ottley of the West Indies during game two of the Men's One Day International series between Australia and West Indies at Sydney Cricket Ground on February 04, 2024 in Sydney, Australia.

32 year old right-arm fast bowler Sean Abbott is regarded as one of the most underrated bowlers in the Australian setup. He's the highest wicket taker in the history of the Big Bash with 165 scalps next to his name and he's a really skillful bowler.&nbsp;



But, he's very unlucky that the likes of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazelwood and Mitchell Starc are playing Cricket for the Aussies at the same-time as him or else he would have played many matches for his side.&nbsp;



Abbott was Australia's joint-highest wicket taker against Scotland with six scalps and leg spinner Adam Zampa was the only bowler to bowl more overs in the three-match series than his 10 overs.?



The conditions of Southampton's Rose Bowl Stadium will suit Sean's bowling and he will be the one to watch out for.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Today's match prediction between England and Australia: </h2>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Scenario number one</h2>

England vs Australia 1st T20i: Who will win the first match of the series?

england-vs-australia-1st-t20i-who-will-win-the-first-match-of-the-series

In what promises to be a really fascinating and exciting encounter, Ashes-Rivals England and Australia are set to lock horns against each other in the second T20 International match of the three-game Twenty-Twenty series. The Mighty Aussies are ahead in the series by 1-0, having won against the Three Lions in the first match of the series.&nbsp;



In the previous game, opening batter Travis Head's explosive-batting and his team's exceptionally good bowling display helped the tourists secure a 28-run victory. England, under the leadership of Phil Salt, struggled to get going and weren't able to find their rhythm.&nbsp;



The second game will be a must-win one for the Phil Salt-led team and if they end up on the losing side in that game, then the Kangao will gain an unattainable lead and they will run away with the series comfortably.&nbsp;



The second match will take place on the 13th of September at the Sophia Gardens Cricket Stadium of Cardiff. The game will commence at 11:00 PM IST.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 2nd T20I: Previews of both the teams</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">England</h4>



England had a really good game with the ba as they managed to keep Australia below 200 runs with Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood playing a key role with the ball in the death overs.&nbsp;



But with the bat, except Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone, the other English batters were not able to perform according to expectations.&nbsp;



Livingstone was his team's top run getter with the bat and he was England?s highest wicket-taker as well.



The duo of Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid bowled well as well, but left arm pacer Reece Topley had a really bad day with the ball for the Three Lions, only being handed one over in which he gave away 15 runs.&nbsp;



Sam Curran, on the other hand, wasn't that great either as Travis Head smacked him for 30 runs in his initial over but he made a good comeback by picking up a wicket in the death overs.&nbsp;



Reece Topley might get dropped in favour of Josh Hull or John Turner for the next game while Dan Mousely can also be given a chance to shine at the expense of Jacob Bethell or Sam Curran.&nbsp;



<h5 class="wp-block-heading">Probable Playing 11 for the second T20 International: </h5>



Phil Salt (Captain), Will Jacks, Jacob Bethell / Dan Mousely, Jordan Cox, Sam Curran, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, John Turner / Josh Hull and Saqib Mahmood.&nbsp;



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Australia</h4>



Matt Short opening the inning ahead of hard-hitting opener Jake-Fraser-McGurk took a lot of people by surprise, but his inning of 41 runs will ensure that he keeps his place in the playing 11 for the remaining-encounters of the series.



Fast Bowler Xavier Bartlett limped his way off the ground after picking up an injury in the middle of his over so one of Aaron Hardie, Riley Meredith or Ben Dwarshius will be battling against each other for Bartlett?s spot in the playing 11.

The surface of the Sophia Gardens Stadium offers lively bounce and pace in the initial phase of the inning, providing a really good platform for the pacers to create an early and instant impact.&nbsp;



As the game progresses, the surface of the ground starts to get flat, becoming more and more favourable for the batsmen.



Spinners get limited help in the first inning but from the second inning onwards, the pitch becomes drier and drier, which allows the slow bowlers to grip the ball more and that shifts the game in the favour of the defending team.&nbsp;



The toss-winning captain should opt to bat first at this iconic stadium.&nbsp;



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ENG vs AUS 2nd T20I: Where to watch the game in India?&nbsp;</h2>



The second T20 International between England and Australia and the third and final match of the series as well will be available to watch on the Sony Sports 5 channel on television while the fans of both the teams can also watch the live action of the game on the application &amp; website of Sony Liv.

ENG vs AUS 2nd T20I: Preview, Playing 11's and live streaming details

eng-vs-aus-2nd-t20i-preview-playing-11s-and-live-streaming-details

Mitchell Marsh-led Australia will be taking on Phil Salt's England in the second T20 International encounter of their ongoing three-game series at the Sophia Gardens Stadium of Cardiff on the 13th of September.&nbsp;



The Mighty Aussies secured a comfortable 28-run run in the first-match in Southampton. With the series now on the line for the hosts while the visitors will be looking to seal the series, the second T20I will be a really exciting one to watch.&nbsp;



In the first game, the Kangaroos managed to post a decent total of 179 runs on the board, thanks to a blistering fifty by Travis Head.&nbsp;



The Three Lions, who opted to field first, struggled to contain the run flow of the Aussie batting unit, with spin bowling all-rounder Liam Linvingstone, dismissing three batters.?



However, the England batting unit weren't able to cope up with the pressure created by the Australian?s and the Aussie bowling unit, under the leadership of Josh Hazelwood, did not allow the hosts to gain any kind of momentum and they ensured that the Three Lions didn't get the opportunity of coming on the front foot.&nbsp;



Livingstone fought like a lone warrior and gave his absolute best in both the departments to help his side stay in the game but his lone efforts didn't prove enough to help his team win the match.&nbsp;



The action of the two-fierce rivals will now shift to Cardiff, England will be looking to make a comeback and equalise the series while the Kangaroos, on the other hand, will be looking to carry forward their winning momentum and secure an early series win.?

England vs Australia 2nd T20I: Weather Report of Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

england-vs-australia-2nd-t20i-weather-report-of-sophia-gardens-cardiff

Cricket's governing-body, the International Cricket Council (ICC) recently updated the men's T20 International Player Rankings on Tuesday.&nbsp;



Some major changes have taken place in the rankings post the conclusion of the England vs Australia T20 International series and the most notable change is that of Liam Livingstone, who has become the new number one ranked T20i All-Rounder.



His recent heroics in the Australia Twenty-Twenty series have not only propelled him to the top of the rankings but have also made him earn the praise and administrations of Cricket fans.&nbsp;



The series versus Australia was a demonstration of Liam's abilities as an All-Rounder. His contributions with both ball and bat played a crucial role in England?s success.&nbsp;



In the second T20 International of the series, a must-win encounter for the Three Lions, the 31 year old spin-bowling All-Rounder stepped up when his side needed his contributions.&nbsp;



He helped England get two important breakthroughs by getting two wickets and restricted the scoring rate of the Aussies. But, it was his contributions with the bat which caught the eye.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/459831622_884640256389012_1422947212218582469_n-1024x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147321" style="width:456px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Liam Livingstone, the new number 1 ranked T20I All Rounder | Image: Threads (Cricketgyan) </figcaption></figure>



With England chasing down a difficult target of 194 runs, Livingstone played a phenomenal knock of 87 runs in just 47 balls. His aggressive intent, along with his ability to clear the rope without any difficulties, turned the match in the favour of the Phil Salt-led team.&nbsp;



His knock was a complete T20 inning, show-casing his perfect timing, power &amp; composure under challenging circumstances.&nbsp;



The 31-year-old overtook the likes of Sikandar Raza, Marcus Stoinis and Shakib Al Hasan to make the number one ranked position his own. This accomplishment is a demonstration of his ability to perform well consistently and execute match-winning displays.&nbsp;



Talking about the batting rankings, Australia?s hard-hitting opener Travis Head continues to reign supreme at the top. His teammate Josh Inglis, who performed really well with the bat versus England has made a jump of 13 spots and has entered the top 10 ranks.&nbsp;



Coming to the T20 International bowling player rankings, England leg-spinner Adil Rashid is sitting comfortably at the top of the rankings. His ability to get the better of opposition batters with his unexpected tricks and variations has helped him find success in the shortest format of the game.&nbsp;



Aussie leggie Adam Zampa has also benefited in the recently updated T20 rankings, surpassing South Africa's Anrich Nortje to occupy the sixth position.&nbsp;

Aussie hard hitting opener Travis Head showcased yet another phenomenal display with the bat as Australia defeated England by a margin of seven wickets in the first One Day International of the five-match series and they have taken a 1-0 lead.



At Nottingham?s Trent Bridge Stadium, Head played an unbelievable unbeaten inning of 154 runs in 129 deliveries which consisted of five maximums and 20 fours as the Kangaroos chased-down a difficult target of 316 runs in just 44 overs. 



This win versus the Three Lions was Australia's 13th consecutive One Day International victory and they also recorded their joint fourth-highest run-chase in the 50 over format.



After winning the toss and electing to bat first, the Harry Brook-led team got all-out for 315 runs in 49.4 overs.Opener Phil Salt got dismissed early on, but the duo of Will Jacks and Ben Duckett stabilised things by getting involved in a partnership of 120 runs for the second-wicket.



Duckett desperately wanted to bring up his century but he was eventually dismissed by Marnus Labuschagne on 95 runs. Labuschagne was Australia's best bowler of the match as he accounted for three wickets.



Will Jacks played a good helping hand with a knock of 62 runs before leg spinner Adam Zampa got the better of him. Zampa, who was playing his 100th One Day International match, had a really good day as he ended the match with figures of 3-49 next to his name.



Captain Harry Brook and youngster Jamie Smith played decent knocks of 39 and 23 runs respectively. 20-year-old Jacob Bethell, who performed really well in the T20 International series, scored 35 runs which included one maximum and three fours.



A target of 316 runs was never an easy task by any means but Australia managed to pull it off. Seamer Matthew Pots gave the hosts a good start as he got rid of Australia?s captain Mitchell Marsh in the fourth over.&nbsp;

However, Travis Head ensured that the ODI World Cup winner didn't face any kind of difficulties in the chase. He along with Steve Smith (32 runs in 28 balls) stitched a partnership of 76 runs for the second-wicket and the duo got Australia in a safe spot.&nbsp;



But, Smith got dismissed in the 16th over off the bowling of Liam Livingstone as the Aussies were sitting at 96-2 in 15.3 overs.&nbsp;



Cameron Green (32 runs in 32 balls) walked out to bat at number four and he provided an ample amount of support to Head as the two got involved in a 73 run partnership.&nbsp;



Green though was sent back to pavilion by Jacob Bethell in the 27th over but the Kangaroos didn't feel worried as they were comfortably sitting at 169-3.



Marnus Labuschagne (77 runs in 61 deliveries) walked to the crease following the dismissal of Green but him and Head ensured Australia didn't lose any more wickets as they helped the World Champions cruise their way to victory.



Travis scored his century in 92 deliveries and he didn't look like stopping as he brought up his second 150+ score in 123 balls.&nbsp;



After getting defeated in an embarrassing way, the Three Lions will be looking to make a comeback in the series by winning the second One Day International on the 21st of September at the Headingley Cricket Stadium of Leeds.?
