Australia beat England by 13 runs in T20

Posted by Unknown Senin, 03 Februari 2014 0 komentar

England lost the opening Twenty20 international in Hobart on Wednesday after narrowly failing to chase down Australia's massive 214-run target.

The Australians were always in the box seats, with the tourists on 176 for nine with an over left.

But some prodigious late hitting by Ravi Bopara got England to within 13 runs of the target at the finish.

Bopara smashed seven sixes and two fours in his unbeaten 65 off 27 balls but paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile bowled the Australians to victory with four for 30 off his four overs.

Joe Root scored 32 off 24 balls and opener Alex Hales hit 22 off 12 balls for the beaten tourists, who have only won one limited-over international on their hapless tour of Australia.

Cameron White was named man-of-the-match for his 75 off 43 balls as Australia set England 214 to win.

White put on 106 with opening partner Aaron Finch (52 from 31) as the Australians came out with all guns blazing.

It's a nice feeling to be back and it's something I've worked hard for, to get the opportunity playing for Australia since I last played," White said. "England are a dangerous side and they bat really deep in the order, and with the short boundaries here at Bellerive the game was never really won. Ravi batted really well.
