Post defeating Pakistan (4-3) while fielding a second-string side during the recently concluded seven-match T20I series, the England men’s Cricket team have now taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20I series, with an 8-run victory during the second match in Canberra, on Wednesday.
While they managed to defend a challenging total of 208/6 during the first T20I by eight runs as well, the second win would taste much sweeter, especially after having lost their first four wickets within nine Overs into the first innings.
However, vital contributions off the bat of southpaws Dawid Malan (82 off 49) and Moeen Ali (44 off 27) first took them to a respectable 178/7, which was then successfully defended by Sam Curran (4-0-25-3) and co., in front of a strong Aussie batting line-up.
