It's the 'Ashes rivals' on show in a Saturday afternoon blockbuster with England probably entering into a must-win game against the confident Australians.
Their first match was a washout at this venue but it did give some anxious moments for Jos Buttler's men. Reduced to a 10-over affair, they allowed Scotland to smash their way to 90 for 0 and would've probably struggled to chase the revised DLS target of 109 runs.
On the other hand, Australia overcame starting hiccups as they downed Oman by 39 runs. It has been a slow start for both teams and they've both watched a slew of upsets in the other groups over the past few days. Momentum is an often used key word in sport and it certainly holds significance in a tournament as short as the T20 World Cup.
Pitch Report
The Kensington Oval has produced surfaces on the slower side and today's match is the venue's final game of the league phase. Will we see either team cracking the 200-run code?
It's hot, but there's a nice breeze blowing across the ground, at a speed of 25 kmph. 58m and 67m square boundaries, the straight hit is at 72m. A fresh pitch today, but t's very similar to the other pitches, there are cracks at both ends. The average score in the 1st innings is 143, you can add another 10-15 runs considering the teams featuring today, but this ain't a 180-190 run wicket, reckon Matthew Hayden and Nasser Hussain, in their pitch report
