England vs Australia T20 Fantasy Cricket League Preview
England
The hosts have not been in the best form in the limited over format and would like to improve their records. They have the best picks who they could exploit to keep up their winning streak. The T20 squad of England is most likely to be the same as the ODI squad. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow have been the highest run getters for England against Australia. Their fiery batting is expected to continue in the T20 format also. Bowling will be braced by Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali.
Australia
Aaron Finch will captain the Australian team and Alex Care will be the wicket-keeper. The Aussies were so close to victory in the 5 th ODI but were denied the same by Buttler. They might try the bowling strategy of the last ODI to curb England’s batting. If Glenn Maxwell is not fit after his shoulder injury, Nic Maddinson will replace him. Billy Stanlake came back strong in the fifth ODI with 3-35. Australia will heavily depend on him for their revenge against the hosts.
