Build Up:
England versus Australia. The arch-rivals, who has been involved in numerous hard-fought contests, will again go head-to-head in a three-match T20I series, with the first game being held in Southampton.
The Eoin Morgan-led side is missing out on a couple of their key players - Ben Stokes and Jason Roy. However, they would welcome back two of their mainstays - Jofra Archer and Jos Buttler, with the latter expected to play at the top of the order.
Meanwhile, Australia have travelled to England with their strongest available squad. David Warner, Aaron Finch and Steven Smith are the engine room of the batting unit, with Glenn Maxwell expected to provide the fireworks down the order. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc would spearhead the attack alongside Adam Zampa.
