Well, surprisingly, the first two matches of the tour have gone uninterrupted unlike it was the case with the West Indies or Pakistan series last in July-August. England have beaten Australia in both the matches – the first one going down the wire while the second a relatively one-sided affair.

What has changed? Well, Australia are no longer the world’s top-ranked T20I team as they have swapped places with their great rivals England. So what’s in store for the third T20I?

Well, it may be a dead rubber but for Australia, apart from finishing with a win ahead of the ODI series, this is a chance to reclaim the top-ranking too. England will have to make a forced change to their Playing XI with Jos Buttler sitting out to be with his family.
