PERTH, Australia : Openers Alex Hales and Jos Buttler blasted half-centuries to lead England to an eight-run win over Australia on Sunday in the first of three warm-up games before the T20 World Cup starts later this month.
Alex Hales and Jos Buttler blasted half-centuries to lead England to an eight-run win over Australia on Sunday in the first of three warm-up games before the T20 World Cup starts later this month. England powered to 208/6 after losing the toss, a commanding total which proved too much for Australia despite a gallant 44-ball 73 from David Warner. The world champions scored 200/9 in their 20 overs, disappointing a 25,755-strong crowd starved of international cricket for nearly three years due to strict border controls in Western Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic. As it happened: Australia vs England, 1st T20I"The way we defended our score was outstanding," said man-of-the-match Hales. "It looked like the game was getting away from us, so to drag it back like that was really impressive." Fresh off a 4-3 series win against Pakistan, England welcomed Buttler (68 off 32 balls) and firebrand Ben Stokes back into the team as they look to settle their line-up. Buttler showed no rustiness overcoming a calf injury, blasting 16 off seamer Cameron Green in the first over.
England produced some impressive late bowling to beat Australia by eight runs on Sunday in the first of three warm-up matches ahead of this month's T20 World Cup.

Australia and England are in the last leg of their preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup and these two sides would face one another in a three-match T20I series, beginning Sunday in Perth. England have Ben Stokes back in their ranks and skipper Jos Buttler who did not feature in T20I series against Pakistan, is also fit and raring to go for the series against Australia. On the other hand, hosts Australia have rested Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell for the first T20I so it is fair to say that England enter the contest as the clear favourites.
