Mitchell Marsh's Australian cricket team will be going against Jos Buttler-led England side in match 17 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which is set to be played at the Kensington Oval in Barbados, on June 8 (Saturday). This is the second match for both teams. The Aussies won their first game against Oman and would like to get the top spot in their group with a big win over their arch-rivals. On the contrary, the English side's first game against Scotland got washed out due to heavy rain and another loss here could potentially end the defending champions' chances of reaching the next stage.
Head-to-Head
The contest between England and Australia in T20Is has been really tight with the defending champions having a slight edge of 11-10 over the Aussies. The competition has been kinda similar in the T20 World Cups with ENG leading AUS 2-1 in the mega tournament.
Pitch Report
Even a score of 150 can be extremely challenging on this pitch of Barbados. However, the Aussies' 164 vs Oman is the highest score on this ground in this tournament so far. The pitch will have help for both batters and bowlers. However, it won't be a high-scoring contest.
Weather Report
There is a very slight prediction of rain but it is unlikely that it will be playing sport in the clash between two arch-rivals.
