MATCH PREVIEW     

It has been a competitive start to the three-match series. The visiting Australian team outsmarted hosts England with a 28-run win. The Australians shall look for a series with and ride on the form of their batsmen. The side has won the last seven games and shall start with higher odds. It will be a massive test for the English side as the new-look team struggled in the last game, playing catchup for most parts. The hosts enjoy a good record at this venue, having lost only once in nine games. We expect a close contest between the best teams as England fights to level the series.  

England Preview     

Philip Salt's team has its task cut out after losing the last game. They did well in parts but failed to sit in the driver's seat in the last game. The odds have fallen for the team on cricket betting sites after losing in the last game. The team has several exciting prospects who have done well in different T20 leagues. Philip Salt must lead from the front and level the series.  

Philip Salt got a start in the last game, and he must deliver a strong start with Will Jacks as the Australian bowling attack looks in good form. The middle order didn't do well in the 1st T20i, and the side needs partnerships between Jordan Cox, Liam Livingstone, and Jacob Bethell. Sam Curran and Jamie Overton have good hitting abilities and must use their skills in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack took a hit in the last game. The team needs early wickets from Reece Topley and Jofra Archer, as the Australian openers are in good form. Saqib Mahmood did well in the last game, and he must trouble the batters in the middle overs with Adil Rashid. Sam Curran, Jacob Bethell, and Livingstone struggled with the ball. Their performance will be crucial in this game.  

Expected Starting XI for England     

Philip Salt (c & wk), Will Jacks, Jordan Cox, Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Sam Curran, Jamie Overton, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood, Reece Topley 

Australia Preview      

Mitchell Marsh will be proud of his team's efforts in the last game. While it wasn't as clinical a show from the side, Marsh would like to build on the momentum. The side is the favorite to win this game on cricket betting apps. They will look to use their batting firepower to deliver a strong show in the game.   

Travis Head played an electrifying knock in the last game and will look to deliver a good start with Matthew Short. The middle order didn't capitalize on the start in the last game, and the trio of Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, and Marcus Stoinis must add runs. Tim David and Cameron Green are good hitters and add to this lineup's firepower.  

The bowlers did well in the last game and will be confident. Josh Hazlewood and Xavier Bartlett must strike early to put the team in a commanding position. Sean Abbott and Adam Zampa were the pick of the bowlers in the last game, and their performance will be crucial. The team will also expect a good show in the supporting role from Stoinis and Green.  

Expected Starting XI for Australia     

Mitchell Marsh (c), Travis Head, Matthew Short, Josh Inglis (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Cameron Green, Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

The teams chasing the score in the last five games have won four times. The wicket is good to bat on, and we have had big run chases here. Both teams will take cues from recent results and bowl first upon winning the toss.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

We will see clear skies over Cardiff on September 13. The wicket is flat, and batsmen have enjoyed batting on this track, having seen several high-scoring contests. There is little on this track for the bowlers, and the team batting first will need 180 runs on the board to feel safe.  

OUR PREDICTION      

England struggled with the ball in the last game, and the side will need to put up a good show to level the series. The Top 5 must bat well, as the Australians have a strong bowling attack. Australians will be confident after their convincing win in the last game. They have their openers in form, making them favorites.  

Our prediction is for Australia to win
