Australia batted first and they posted a total of 164 for 5 in 20 overs. Wickets kept tumbling in the powerplay overs and Australia looked completely down and out by the end of 10 overs. This is when Marcus Stoinis and David Warner stitched a partnership of 102 runs to get Australia out of trouble. Stoinis made 67 off 36 balls and helped take Australia past the 160 run mark to finish at 164 in 20 overs of play.

During the chase, Oman lost Kashyapkumar Prajapati and Pratik Athavale quite early. The other top order batters also threw their wicket away. Ayan Khan played a brilliant innings of 36 runs and instilled some hope for a successful chase but he barely got any support at the other end. They were eventually restricted to 125 for 9 in 20 overs, losing the match by 39 runs.

Current Form England:

England are currently placed at the 3rd position on ICC Men's T20 Team Rankings with a rating of 254.

England have been in fabulous form in T20I cricket. They have recently beaten Pakistan in a 4 match T20I series by 2-0 at home.

Philip Salt, Will Jacks and Jos Buttler looked in good rhythm in Indian Premier League. Players like Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone will have to step up their game in they have to justify their spot in the team.

Players to look out for:

1. Philip Salt - He is a flamboyant top order batter who plays with a lot of freedom and panache. Salt's shots are so easy to the eye. He is expected to be the best batter for England in the World Cup.

2. Jofra Archer- He is a big match player who can destroy the opponents batting lineup with his accuracy. Archer bowled well against Pakistan recently and is looking ready to leave an impact in the upcoming matches.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

England

Jos Buttler (c), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, Mark Wood
