Twitter Reactions: England hold their nerves to win a thriller

Twitter Reactions: England hold their nerves to win a thriller: If there is one format which never disappoint the fans then it is undoubtedly T20 cricket. Today as well the 1^st and only T20I match between England and Australia turned out to be a belter of a contest with both the teams putting up a brilliant show. Though, England hold on to their nerves and won the match by 5 runs. But ultimately cricket emerged as the real winner with such a mind-wobbling and edge of the seat thriller. Australian’s who were chasing 183 runs got off to a poor start but their skipper Steven Smith played a heck of a knock to keep the hopes of the team alive but his wicket proved to be the turning point of the match.

Earlier in the day it was Morgan and Ali who had stroked quickfire half-centuries to get their side to a big total of 182 runs.

Here are the Twitter Reactions: England hold their nerves to win a thriller:
