England and Australia will face off in the decider match of T20I series at Old Trafford, Manchester on Sunday, September 15.

The home team England recorded a fantastic comeback in the 2nd T20I at Cardiff after a 29-run defeat in the 1st T20I at Southampton as they chased down Australia's 193 with an over to spare, thanks to Liam Livingstone's resounding knock of 87 runs in just 47 while Jacob Bethell made a good impression on his first batting appearance on the international circuit with a 44(23).

For Australia, Jake Fraser-McGurk got to his maiden T20I fifty in 29 before getting out and Matthew Short got a 5-wicket haul while just conceding 22 runs, but they were in vain, as the visitors endured defeat in Wales.
