Australia are in the box seat to top their T20 World Cup group after a 36-run victory over defending champions England, who may need to rely on net run-rate to make the knockout stages. On a Bridgetown deck where runs flowed easily, leg-spinner Adam Zampa was a game-changer for Australia, dispatching openers Jos Buttler and Phil Salt after they made a fast start in pursuit of 202 in Barbados on Saturday .
Australia beat England in T20 World Cup group match. It was at times a fiery clash between the Ashes rivals, with Aussie keeper Matthew Wade ruffling feathers during his innings. The 36-year-old had lots to say from under the helmet, including to on-field umpire Nitin Menon, who argued with Wade at one stage of the clash. “Not seen Matthew Wade be so chirpy in the middle for quite a while now. This is proper old-school, in-your-face Wade,” Bharat Sundaresan said.
