Ruthless Australia crush England

Australia inflicted a crushing 36-run defeat on defending champions England in their T20 World Cup 2024 group match in Barbados. Posting 201-7, Australia then restricted England to 165-6, leaving their rivals’ hopes of progressing in jeopardy. Openers Travis Head and David Warner gave Australia a blistering start before Adam Zampa’s spin bowling derailed England’s chase after a strong opening stand between Phil Salt and Jos Buttler.
