Australia secured a commanding 28-run win over England, thanks to Travis Head’s explosive powerplay and a disciplined bowling performance. Despite a dramatic collapse of 10 wickets for 93 runs after a blazing start, Australia’s total of 179 proved too much for the home side.
Head’s 59 off 36 balls, including a blistering powerplay where Australia scored 86 runs, was crucial. England struggled in their chase, stumbling to 52 for 4 before Liam Livingstone’s 37 and Sam Curran’s late resistance fell short. Josh Hazlewood and Adam Zampa excelled with the ball, ensuring England fell short at 151.
