The 2nd T20 match of England’s tour of Australia, 2022 is scheduled to be held on Wednesday, 12th October 2022 at Manuka Oval, Canberra

England had a winning start to this tour of Australia and won the first match. Now England has to win just one out of the remaining two matches to have this series to their name. The first match of Australia vs England was very interesting. This match was also a high scoring where more than 400 runs were scored in both innings. Both teams are rich in strength and the remaining matches will also be very interesting.

The addition of Jos Buttler has added extra power to the batting squad of England and we also saw this in the first T20 match where England lost the toss and was put into bat first. The way how their batting order performed in that match was just superb. They put a total of 208 runs on the board in 20 overs. The opening batters of England were just outstanding and provided a good opening start of 132 runs in just 11 overs for the partnership of the first wicket. Alex Hales was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side scoring 84 runs on just 51 balls with the help of 12 boundaries and three huge sixes. The skipper, Jos Buttler also had an outstanding performance with the bat and scored 68 runs. He faced just 32 balls and smashed eight boundaries and four huge sixes.

Harry Brook could manage to score just 12 runs while Moeen Ali scored 10 runs. The bowling unit of England is also strong and very experienced but they were not good in the first match even though they defended the target of 209 runs but leaked 200 runs in 20 overs. They used seven bowlers in the previous match and Mark Wood proved the most successful and highest wicket-taker with three wickets to his name in four overs against 34 runs. Sam Curran also performed well with the ball and picked up two wickets in four overs while he was charged with 35 runs. Reece Topley was the other bowler with two wickets to his name. Adil Rashid picked one wicket but he leaked a lot of runs. He was charged with 41 runs in just three overs. Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes, and Moeen Ali failed to pick any wicket in the first match.

Australia fought well in the first match but they were on the losing side. They decided to field first after winning the toss but this decision did not work for them properly as they leaked 208 runs in 20 overs. Nathan Ellis was the only successful bowler from their side who picked three wickets in four overs against just 20 runs. Kane Richardson, Daniel Sams, and Marcus Stoinis picked one wicket each while Cameron Green and Mitchell Swepson were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket. Australia should have a look at their bowling department and if needed, they should make a couple of changes in the bowling unit for this match.

The performance of the batting order in Australia was good in the previous match but they failed to chase the target of 209 runs and scored 200 runs in 20 overs. Remember that three batters of Australia Tim David, Nathan Ellis, and Kane Richardson failed to open the account on the scoreboard. Cameron Green scored just one run while Mitchell Swepson scored two runs. David Warner was the most successful and highest run-scorer from their side scoring 73 runs on 44 balls with the help of eight boundaries and two huge sixes. Mitchell Marsh also performed well and scored 36 runs while Marcus Stoinis scored 35 runs. He faced just 15 balls and smashed two boundaries and three huge sixes. Matthew Wade scored 21 runs.
