Australia hit 201 for seven after being put into bat in Barbados.
England’s Chris Jordan gestures after Australia’s Marcus Stoinis hit a four from one of his deliveries during an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup cricket match at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados, Saturday, June 8, 2024.
Four days after an indifferent bowling display in their washed out game against Scotland, an unchanged attack was sprayed around the Kensington Oval as their Ashes rivals helped themselves to 13 sixes and 14 fours. A part-timer with a grand total of two overs to his name in his previous 14 appearances, Jacks was smashed for 22 as the gamble blew up. Aiming with the breeze towards the short boundary, Head launched the first two deliveries for six before Warner began his innings with a flick over deep square.
Australia reached 50 off just 22 balls, easily the fastest start of the tournament to date, with a small measure of respite finally arriving when Moeen bowled Warner with one that kept low.Jofra Archer mixed up his pace cleverly in the final over of the powerplay and flattened Head’s stumps with a cutter, but Australia’s 74 for two represented a big statement.
