Preview: Two longtime rivals will face off again on Saturday in Bridgetown, Barbados, when Australia faces England in Group B Match 17. On Wednesday, Australia defeated Oman by 39 runs, while England’s match against Scotland was called off due to rain.
Strong batting from David Warner and Marcus Stoinis was critical in Australia’s victory over Oman, and there is more to come from this strong squad. With a powerful lineup, the Australians will be motivated to defeat the defending champions.
England can’t afford another missed opportunity after their first encounter against Scotland was rained out. However, they frequently save their best for T20I matches against Australia.
