England Vs Australia T20 Manchester

The highly anticipated third T20 international cricket match between England and Australia is set to take place at Old Trafford in Manchester. The series hangs in the balance as both teams have secured one win each. However, the weather in Manchester has posed a significant challenge, with persistent rain putting the final match at risk of being abandoned.

As Australia prepares for this crucial decider, expectations are high for Josh Hazlewood to return to the lineup after missing the previous game to manage his workload. In his stead, Ben Dwarshuis has been included in the Australian squad for the final match of the series.

Australia emerged victorious in the opening match, winning by 28 runs, while England came back strong in the second game, securing a win by three wickets. Both teams hope for favorable weather conditions to proceed with the match, and an initial pitch inspection is planned at 4:15 pm local time, which corresponds to 1:15 am AEST.

The final squads for both teams will be confirmed at the toss, which has been delayed due to the weather. Fans can follow the live action of the series on Fox Cricket and through streaming services such as Kayo.

For the upcoming match, the Australian team is captained by Mitchell Marsh and includes notable players such as Sean Abbott, Cameron Green, Travis Head, and Adam Zampa. England’s squad is captained by Phil Salt and features players like Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, and Reece Topley.
