Australia and England are facing each other in the 2nd T20I of the 3-match T20I series at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The capital city of Australia will host the last two matches of the series. During the match, an injury scare happened to Australian opener David Warner.
Australia won the toss and opted to bowl first, where they made five changes to their playing 11. Mitchell Starc, Glenn Maxwell, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa all came back to take their places in the playing eleven. Aaron Finch is also set to open the innings.
The opening duo of Alex Hales and Jos Buttler failed this time around, but Dawid Malan scored a brilliant half-century for the visitors. Apart from Malan, Moeen Ali also played a fine knock, but the rest of the batters have been dominated by the Aussie bowlers.

These are not great signs for the Australian team as nothing can be said about the later symptoms of head injuries, and with the World Cup on the horizon, the Australian would want Warner to be fully fit. Warner won the player of the tournament trophy in the last T20 World Cup.
