Show Preview
Having already wrapped up the series victory, England go into the third T20 against Australia with the opportunity to complete the clean sweep and go to the top of the world rankings. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary of the match from 3am (AEST).
The big news to come out of the England camp is that Jos Buttler will miss this match so he can spend time with his family. He left England’s bio-secure bubble after his man of the match performance in the second T20 at the Ageas Bowl on Sunday.
Subject to a negative COVID test, Buttler is expected to return for the ODI series, which gets underway at Old Trafford on Friday.
In Buttler’s absence, Tom Banton could go back to opening the batting like he did so well in the series against Pakistan.
England will also be boosted by a far better powerplay than has been the case recently, with three Australian wickets taken in the powerplay overs on Sunday.
As for Australia, they are clearly still being impacted by a six-month lay-off from international cricket.
Could this match be the right time to bring in Marnus Labuschagne and Josh Philippe?
Alex Carey should definitely be moved back down the order or potentially even be replaced by Philippe, who can keep as well as bat, probably at number 3.
Despite the talk about whether to drop Marcus Stoinis after a slow start to his innings in Australia’s run chase in the first T20, a better innings from the West Australian in the second T20 may have given him a reprieve. In this case, Labuschagne will still be left on the sidelines.
Prediction
It’s hard not to predict anything but an England victory for this one. Australia appear to be going for consistency so don’t expect their XI for the third T20 to look too different.
England to win by a few runs or with a few wickets in hand if they’re chasing.
