Commentary

So that will be all from the Manuka Oval in Canberra, with England completing a fine series win over the hosts. We have one more match to go in the series. It may be a dead rubber from this series' point of view, but in the context of the lead-up to the T20 World Cup, it makes a lot of sense for both teams to test out their players in one more international game. So join us on Friday for that final encounter between these gun sides. For now, this is the pair of Pragadeesh and Bidipto, saying good bye. Keep following Sportskeeda!

Player of the Match, Dawid Malan: Pleased with my effort tonight, was hitting them well and finding the gaps more importantly. It does indeed help to have experience of playing on these pitches, so indeed, the Big Bash experience has come in handy. Adjusting to the pace of the pitches gets easier. The lead up to the World Cup from a personal point of view has been good, with some decent outings in Pakistan and now, here in Australia, hope to finish well on Friday night. Mike Hussey has been an idol for me, Mr. Cricket as he is called, so to get the 50th cap from him and some real words of encouragement mean a lot.

Jos Buttler (England captain): Really satisfying win again, losing the toss and having to bat first against a top quality bowling attack, we were really up for it. Dawid is a top performer, his 50th T20I tonight and another world-class performance, he has done it all over the world and it is no surprise really. Sam has been chipping in with some match-winning contributions, hope he keeps going in this fashion.

Aaron Finch (Australia captain): Fielding, we were poor, dropped a couple of catches. (On Tim David) He's been fantastic and the more he plays he will get confidence. We left too much for the guys left in the backend. There will be a debate on one or two spots ahead of the World Cup. I think Hazlewood is too good as anyone in the world with the new ball and it's always a luxury when you have three world-class bowlers, who can bowl anywhere. We wanted to try a few distributions today when it comes to bowling

England - 178/7, beat Australia - 170/6, by 8 runs and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series.

Mitchell Marsh 45 (29) | Marcus Stoinis - 3/34
Dawid Malan 82 (49) | Sam Curran - 3/25

England played another good match and did really well to keep the asking rate high for the Australians, right through the innings. Australia did threaten at times by way of Mitchell Marsh, Marcus Stoinis and Tim David, but on the whole, England were quite comprehensive with the ball and in the field.

The start was not the best for the hosts, as their openers could not get their team off to a flyer and went rather cheaply in quick succession. Since then, Australia had to play catch-up. Glenn Maxwell was disappointing with the bat yet again. His form remains a cause of concern for the Australians heading into the World Cup. Matthew Wade towards the end, could not do what he has been doing of late, and that is finish the match for his team.

All the English bowlers, barring Adil Rashid, were impressive tonight. They kept things tight and bowled to their fields. The back up from the fielders was exceptional.

So England win back-to-back bilateral T20I series in two different countries with completely different conditions. They have another match to go before the warm-ups to try things out. As for Australia, they would like to fine tune things in the next game before their warm-up ties. No matter what, the bigger picture for both teams here, is the World Cup coming up shortly.
