Match Details:

The 3rd game of the 3-match T20I series between England and Australia will be played at The Rose Bowl in Southampton.

The match starts at 06:00 PM local time (10:30 PM IST) (05:00 PM UTC). This match can be viewed on Sony Six and Sony Six HD. It will be live-streamed on the Sony Liv app.

Preview:

After pulling off a close one in the first T20I, England was more comprehensive in the second match. They defeated Australia by 6 wickets and thus clinched the T20I series. Their bowlers did a fabulous job and then the batsmen didn’t even break a sweat. With added confidence, the team would be going forward in the quest of making it a clean sweep.

The third and the final T20I between both these teams will be played on Tuesday. Australia will try hard to bounce back and register at least one win in the series. This would give them some confidence going ahead into the ODI series. Beating the World Champions in the 50-over task wouldn’t be easy for them and they’d like to have the winning momentum on their side.
