T20I tri-series: Australia vs England, 5 talking points

#3 D'Arcy Short hands Australia a roaring start

After David Warner fell for just 4 in the second ball of the innings and Chris Lynn followed suit with a duck in the fourth ball, the onus was on D'Arcy Short to hold on end up and allow Australia to race away from the jitters. He started on an attacking note, smashing Mark Wood for two consecutive boundaries in the second over.

He raced away to a quickfire 30 in just 20 deliveries, also hitting Willey and Tom Curran for a six each. Before Maxwell could find his groove and settle down, Short ensured that his cameo at the top swayed the momentum from the English side towards the home team.
