The 17th International Cricket Council (ICC) match will be played on June 8 at Kensington Oval Cricket Stadium in Barbados.
Teams Overview:
Australia played its first match against Oman on Wednesday, and they defeated Oman by 39 runs. In this match, Australia scored 164 runs, while Oman scored 125 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in the allotted overs.
Australia is one of the best teams in the ongoing event. They were also champions of the 2021 T20 World Cup and the ODI World Cup 2023, where they defeated host India in the final. They have a very good batting and bowling order.
On the other hand, England recently faced Scotland in their first match, but the game was washed out due to rain. In this match, Scotland dominated England, scoring 90 runs without losing wickets in the first 10 overs. However, England won the T20 series against Pakistan just before the T20 World Cup.
England is also the defending champion of the T20 World Cup. In 2022, England defeated Pakistan in the final match.
