ENG vs AUS preview: Labuschagne has to wait for T20 debut, says Finch

Denied a Twenty20 World Cup this year because of the coronavirus outbreak, cricket fans might have the next best thing in the upcoming days. A series between England and Australia. They are the top two teams in the T20 world rankings Australia is No. 1 and their fierce sporting rivalry is deep-rooted. They also have some of the most explosive batsmen and fastest bowlers in world cricket. What more could you ask for? "I hope it's a preview for the final," Australia captain Aaron Finch said Thursday, referring to the next T20 World Cup that will now take place in India in October-November 2021. "The England-Australia rivalry is always huge," he added, "regardless of who you are playing in front of and where you are playing. You could play in a street and it would still be there." This three-match series is taking place at the Rose Bowl in Southampton, starting Friday, and will be special because it is being played without spectators in accordance with COVID-19 restrictions.
