Southampton: Travis Head is going through the most explosive form of his career. This explosive Australian opener is making new records in every match. In the first match of the three-match T20 series against England, he scored a half-century in just 19 balls. During this, he scored 30 runs in one over of Sam Curran. In this match played at The Rose Bowl Stadium, the Kangaroo team defeated the hosts by 28 runs in a spectacular manner. Australia lost the toss and batted first and scored 179 runs on the basis of an opening stand of 89 runs in just six overs between Travis Head and Matthew Short. In reply, the entire England team was all out for just 151 runs in 19.2 overs. With this, Australia won the match by 28 runs.Sam Curran will never forget his beating
England’s decision to bowl first after winning the toss was proving to be wrong as Australia had scored 41 runs in four overs. Matthew Short was playing after scoring 25 runs in 12 balls. Travis Head’s bat standing at the other end was still quiet as he had scored only 15 runs in 12 balls. Perhaps it was the calm before the storm. Captain Phil Salt handed the ball to Sam Curran for the first time in the fifth over. Head scored a four by pulling the first ball bowled short and slow towards mid-on. After a good start to the over, Head hit a four on the next ball as well because the ball was very bad. Now Head had got his start.
On the third ball, Head hit a huge six over deep square leg to take Australia to 50. The result did not change on the fourth and fifth balls as Head hit his third consecutive six. The last ball was bowled full by Sam Curran, on which Head hit a four to take a total of 30 runs from the over.
