Defending champions England's hopes of reaching the T20 World Cup Super 8s took a big dent as they slipped to a 36-run defeat to Australia in Barbados. Jos Buttler's side, batting for the first time in the tournament after rain prevented them beginning a chase in the abandonment against Scotland on Tuesday, could muster only 165-6 having been set 202 to win, with Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa bagging 2-28 and supported superbly by the seamers, including Pat Cummins .
Australia's run rate quietened from that point, with Chris Jordan's 18-run 13th over by far the most damaging in the second half of the innings, although every batter in the middle order contributed, with Mitchell Marsh and Maxwell putting on 65 from 49 balls for the third wicket before falling to Adil Rashid and Liam Livingstone respectively.
