To say match was evenly poised before David Warner’s dismissal would not fit into the scheme of things. Yes, the visitors were well and truly ahead of the game at that point in time where Australia needed 34 runs from 29 balls with as many as 7 wickets in hand. But the man from Barbados came into the attack to break the game and he did and exactly made things happen.
Jofra Archer’s toe-crusher too good for David Warner
Australia locked horns with their arch-rivals England in a 3 match T20I series with all the 3 taking place at Southampton. The first of which happened yesterday saw a cliffhanger of a game and it was a game of nerves and emotions and in the end, the deserving team won the game.
Australia needed 163 runs from their 20 overs to take an early lead in the series and it all looked like Australia will win the game without breaking a sweat but England bowlers’s never say die attitude helped them to win the game from nowhere.
David Warner was batting at 58 from 46 balls and was looking set to take his team home but the searing yorker from Jofra Archer was too good for David Warner and England never looked back after David Warner’s wicket.

Dawid Malan’s masterclass in Southampton
England were put into bat by Australians on what looked like a good batting wicket but the 5th ball of the 1st over showed that the pitch is not an easy one to bat. Mitchell Starc clocked well over 145 KMPH but the ball didn’t carry to the wicket-keeper Alex Carey.
The pitch clearly showed its signs that its not a batting paradise but a slow wicket where anything around 160 would be a real handful and that’s what England managed to achieve with the help of Dawid Malan’s crafty 66 from 43 balls.
Australia needed 30 runs from their last 4 overs with 6 wickets in hand but the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Alex Carey and Ashton Agar couldn’t help Australians to go past the finishing line and this batting order will cost them many games in the future if they continue with this lower middle order.
