Twenty20 cricket: England beat Australia by 6 wickets

England beat Australia by six wickets for a series-clinching win in the second Twenty20 international at Southampton.

England, set 158 to win, finished on 158-4 with seven balls to spare.

Victory was set up by England’s bowlers, who held Australia to a modest 157-7 after the tourists had won the toss.

This series was meant to act as a warm-up for October’s T20 World Cup in Australia.

But that tournament will not take place because of COVID-19, with the next T20 World Cup set for India in 2021.
