After facing defeat at home in the opening match of the T20I series, England will host Australia at the Rose Bowl in Southampton for the second T20I eyeing a comeback victory. It is a must-win for England to keep the series hope alive but Australia is a tough customer in situations like these. Stand-in captain Phil Salt is going through a lean patch with the bat and he will look to turn things around. He is leading England in absence of injured Jos Buttler.
Australia on the other hand are unbeaten for the four games they have played recently and have to play England after white-washing Scotland 3-0 in the T20I series. (Usman Khawaja Picks This Star Batter As Australia's Opener For Border Gavaskar Series)
