England (208/6) defeat Australia (200/9) by 8 runs to win the 1st T20I

Amazing intent from Aussies. They should win this. Can someone show the highlightes to Pakistan team manangement.

Australia are the team to beat!
 
Adil Rashid is the most halwa bowler in T20 cricket. He gets hit so so much.
 
Rashid getting the full qudrat ka nizaam treatment from Warner !
 
Express pace v Australian Batsmen

The most thrilling experience in cricket
 
Adil Rashid's form is England's biggest concern . The best T20 attacks always have a quality wrist spinner . Pace can get hammered and is slightly overrated.
 
Adil has been the key for England's success in the last few years with 5he ball. He puts breaks on the opposition and picks up wickets. If hes struggling then England will struggle

The heights of all of these batsmen are essential

They are nearly all 6,2 besides Ponting who is 5’11

They just dont want to be intimated by any bowler no matter how fast he is.
 
Match ups is a real thing now in cricket

They only bring in the right hand offie if there are to left handers at the crease
 
Brilliant over by wood. Game is back in balance now.
 
Wood comes back and knocks over Stoinis and Tim David in the same over.

Can't write off pace.
 
This is a walk in the park for the WINSTON WOLF of run chases Mathew Wade
 
I think if the English players had appealed for that on the basis of Australia obstructing the field then Wade would have been given out. However, Buttler did not appeal for some reason.

Oh well. Another for England. Warner gone. England fighting back. Three for Wood. He’s a good bowler in Australian conditions.

Imagine what would have Indian team done in such situation, lol.
 
Wolf needs a proper batsman with him

Sams can smoke a few sixes if needed
 
Oh no!!! Sam Curran had all the time in the world.

Top class yorker though.
 
Pace is pace. Nothing exciting than watching a proper express pacer.Mark wood swung the match in England's favour single handedly.
 
Big choke here from the Aussies.

Warner will be kicking himself for that shot on the last ball on of Woods over.

The umpires rejected the appeal, Wade put his arm up to tell the other batsman not to run and he was not obstructing the fielder.

Ah he called you to tell that, that was clear obstruction , Eng just avoided unending crying by you lot.

Maybe its you who need tissue, your team screwed up a match they had no business losing from that position even with those cheating tactics. If it was WC game Poms would and should have appealed.
 
Mark wood won this match for England. I would still like him develop those slower balls and he will be really really difficult to hit.
 
Australia fielded an unit that resembles Indian bowling lol 4 trundlers Kanes, Sames, Ellis, Stoinis. Green himself is just a medium pacer.

He is not buzdil like fake fast bowler Rauf. He backs his pace not his cutters.

Not sure if this is CA spin or not, but oh well — doesn’t matter now. Didn’t make a difference to the result.

:)
 
2nd win for England in their last 9 matches against Australia in Australia. Australia's main bowling rarely concedes this many runs.
 
The last ball goes for two runs and England take a 1-0 lead in the three match series.

It was pretty evenly balanced in the final over but some great death bowling from Curran, who took two wickets from the final over, saw England home.

Warner and Stoinis looked set to guide the Aussies home but England's bowlers took important wicket toward the back end of the innings to stifle the run chase.

Earlier England had set Australia 209, with Buttler and Hales sharing a 132 opening partnership.

Australia sent out their second string bowlers to put as much pressure on the batsman as possible, this match has no consequence other than for Aus to find the right combination for the WC.

England played better and won the match, Wood bowled extremely well but will he have the same effect when England batsmen have to face Starc and Hazelwood.
 
Australia has played Hazlewood, Cummins, Starc, Zampa in 10 matches together. Won 9 of them. Lost 1 in UAE where they were buttlered.
 
Wood came back well after poor start, Bairstow on BT Sport
\
"The way in which Wood came back, two get another three wicket haul in his third consecutive game," Bairstow said.

"We started well, to take an early wicket is just what you want. I thought Stoinis played really well, using the pace.

On Curran "He has done it in many many games. You can see by his character."

Curran bowled the important final over for England, and after the game he said it was an important win for England.

"What a game. 200 each on the board, we batted really well as a group. Great to have Jos back in. We really pleased with the way we bowled," he said.

"The over before, I executed a few yorkers. Great senior players helping me through that. They backed me, really pleased to start with a win. It's great practice going into the World Cup."
 
Both teams should be happy with the match. It was a tough match for both. Good world T20 prep for them.

The appeal was withdrawn, hence why they initially went to the third umpire but no decision was sent to the big screen. The fact you're having to make stuff up says it all about how blatant the obstruction was.

And he wins it for England by his sheer pace..

He was getting predictable in his first 2 overs. He went for 24 and in his next two overs he won it for England with pace. I m saying he surely needs those slower balls and even in one of his interview he said he wants to learn that art from haris rauf. He will be even more difficult to hit with those slower balls.

None of this 'oh we are aiming to score 170' cr@p each and every time. So refreshing to see these kind of matches.

That's why these kind of teams develop and install gunners and no accumulators.

LOL Haris rauf has bowled most 145 kph deliveries in t20is in recent times.He is just way too good with those variations.

KEEP CRYING.LOL.
 
What happens to Buttler whenever he takes on Australia or Pakistan.

His two most fav teams.
 
Alex Hales and fit-again captain Jos Buttler fired with the bat before Mark Wood and Sam Curran excelled with the ball as England edged T20 World Cup favourites Australia by eight runs in a thrilling, high-scoring first game of their three-match T20 series.

Hales (84 off 51 balls) struck 12 fours and three sixes after being preferred to Phil Salt as Buttler's opening partner, while the skipper (68 off 32) managed eight fours and four sixes - four boundaries of which came in the opening over of the game - as the pair shared an opening stand of 132 from 68 balls in a total of 208-6.

Australia looked on course to top that as David Warner (73 off 44 balls) shared quickfire half-century stands with Mitchell Marsh (36 off 26) and Marcus Stoinis (35 off 15) to reduce the requirement to 51 from 35 balls with seven wickets in hand.

However, England quick Wood then struck twice in the 15th over before picking up the key wicket of Warner at the end of the three-run 17th with the final ball of his excellent spell.

Curran then conceded only seven runs and took two wickets in a final over which had begun with Australia requiring 16 as the hosts were limited to 200-9 and England moved 1-0 up ahead of Wednesday's second match in Canberra.

Australia had pegged England back with a cluster of wickets towards the end of their innings - seamer Nathan Ellis returning figures of 3-20 as the tourists managed 49 runs from the final six overs.

Test skipper Ben Stokes made a scratchy nine from nine balls from the No 3 spot in his first T20 since March 2021, with the left-hander dropped on one at mid-on before being hit on the chin attempting a reverse sweep.

The second T20I at Manuka Oval is followed by a third on Friday at the same venue, before England play a final warm-up against Pakistan in Brisbane next Monday ahead of their T20 World Cup opener against Afghanistan in Perth on October 22.

Buttler and Hales pummel Australia attack
All eyes were on England's top order at Optus Stadium, with Hales given the nod over Salt, and Buttler playing his first game since mid-August.

Both flourished en route to 29 and 25-ball half-centuries respectively, with Buttler drilling Cameron Green for four fours in a 16-run opening over as the Australia seamer paid the price for overpitching.

Buttler, whose other highlights included a ramped six off Kane Richardson and back-to-back leg-side maximums off leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson, was dropped on 30 by a diving Mitchell Marsh at short third after an attempted ramp off Ellis, while some of Hales' boundaries were edged.

But England were brutal after being inserted, racing to 50-0 after five overs and 128-0 after 11 - during which time 21 boundaries were amassed - before Buttler plinked the impressive Ellis to mid-off in the 12th.

Hales continued to find the fence while Stokes, pushed up the order as England try to get the best out of a man who is yet to score a T20I fifty, stuttered - Stokes' sole boundary a slashed effort down to deep third.

Stokes and Hales were both caught in the deep in successive overs as Australia's second-string bowling attack - seamers Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and spinners Adam Zampa and Glenn Maxwell were rested for the series opener - began to stem the run-scoring.

Harry Brook (10 off 12), Moeen Ali (10 off 7) and Sam Curran (2 off 5) all came and went before Chris Woakes (13no off 5) took England over 200 in a T20I in Australia for the first time with a final-over four off Richardson.

Woakes added gloss to the total with a monster six over deep midwicket while batting with Dawid Malan (2no), who had slid down the order to No 7 after his side's rapid start.

Green's day then took another sour turn - the all-rounder caught behind for one off Reece Topley (2-26) after a successful review having seen his three overs in England's innings taken for a combined 38.

However, Warner followed on from his 41-ball 75 against West Indies on Friday with another half-century - this 29-ball fifty including three successive fours off England speedster Wood in the fourth over.

Warner found fine allies in Marsh and Stoinis but was only alongside skipper Aaron Finch (12 off 7) fleetingly with the latter run out after some superb work from Curran in the deep, two overs after Marsh was bowled having failed to read an Adil Rashid googly.

The game changed when Wood picked up Stoinis - two deliveries after being belted for six by him over midwicket - and another power-hitter Tim David (0 off 3) in the 15th over and then Warner in the 17th, Warner letting out an audible groan as he slashed to the man at deep point.

A gripping finish, during which Matthew Wade (21 off 15) was adjudged not to have impeded Wood as he tried to take a return catch, wickets tumbled and boundaries kept Australia just about afloat, ultimately went England's way.

Topley's 19th over went for just six and included the wicket of Daniel Sams (6), before Curran removed Wade and Ellis (0) in the last over as he held his nerve.
