Preview
England and Australia will play the 26th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Friday (October 28) at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. Both of the teams have not had a campaign so far that they would have hoped for. England lost their last game against Ireland by five runs based on the DLS method. They are placed in the third position in the points table and need to win the remaining matches to qualify for the semi-final with ease.
Australia, on the other hand, started their campaign with a loss against New Zealand. However, they did thrash Sri Lanka in the last game by seven wickets after chasing a target of 158 runs in just 16.3 overs. They are placed in the penultimate position in the points tally and have the worst net run rate among the other six teams in their group.

Player Picks
Sam Curran ENG | ALL
He became the first English bowler to take a hat trick in T20Is in the opening game against Afghanistan. So far, he has taken seven wickets in two matches and will again play a key role with the ball.
Liam Livingstone ENG | ALL
He has made a return to the side after sustaining an injury during the Hundred competition this year. He scored an unbeaten 29 runs against Afghanistan but his best performance came against Ireland in the last game. Livingstone picked three wickets for 17 runs which is also his best bowling figure in T20Is.
Jos Buttler ENG | WK
The 32-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is captaining the side for the first time in a World Cup and is yet to showcase his power-hitting skills. He was dismissed for a duck in the last game. This will be his 100th T20I game and he will be looking to make an impact with the bat.
