England vs Australia 2018: 5 Talking Points from only T20I

#1 Rashid reiterates wrist-spin potency

Adil Rashid sealed Australia's fate by accounting for Aaron Finch

The growing dichotomy between the effects of finger-spin and wrist-spin might just have branched out further in the shortest format. Akin to Moeen Ali who went for 58 runs from his four overs, Adil Rashid came up trumps against the revived hitting from Finch and company.

Rashid wrecked Australia's middle-order by dismissing Alex Carey and Marcus Stoinis in the space of three balls. When England were in need of a breakthrough at 158/5, he obtained the important scalp of Finch by inducing a mistimed slog off a tossed-up delivery.

On a decidedly docile track with not so long boundaries, Rashid returned figures of 3/27. On a day wherein Buttler's record-breaking fifty guided England to their second largest T20I total, it was the leg-spinner who deservedly walked home with the Man of the Match award.
