- 1st T20: Australia, 179, beat England, 151, by 28 runs
- Head’s brisk 59 sets visitors on way to unassailable total
A fresh-faced England side came undone against a more storied Australian XI in the opening T20, with Travis Head’s powerplay blast setting up a 28-run win for the visitors.
The hosts fielded three debutants – Jamie Overton, Jordan Cox and Jacob Bethell – but three significant figures in the Australian game largely wrote the story. To begin with, there was the thunder of Head, his 23-ball 59 setting an imposing target of 180 that could have been even stronger had England not enjoyed a resurgence through spin.
