The Ashes rivals have clashed only three times across the last eight editions of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, with England leading the ledger 2-1.
Their maiden showdown happened during the inaugural edition held in South Africa, where the Ricky Ponting-led unit crushed the English team by eight wickets.
However, nearly three years later, the Three Lions fought back with venom as they defeated the Aussies by seven wickets in the final of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2010 in Barbados to claim their maiden World Title.
Inspired by early wickets from left-arm seamer Ryan Sidebottom, the Paul Collingwood-led unit restricted the Australians to 6/147 in 20 overs. In response, England lost Michael Lumb cheaply. However, Craig Kieswetter (63 off 49) and Kevin Pietersen (47 off 31) held the run-chase by the scruff of its neck, and by the time the duo was dismissed, the victory was just a formality.
England eventually romped home by seven wickets and became world champions for the first time in limited-overs cricket.
Eleven years later, it was the Jos Buttler show, as the English swashbuckler flatted the Aussies with a magnificent hundred to set up an eight-wicket win for The Three Lions. However, it was Australia who had the last laugh, as England were knocked out by New Zealand in the semi-final, while the Aussies went on to beat Pakistan and the Kiwis in the knockouts to claim the world title.
The Ashes foes will lock horns at the iconic Kensington Oval in Barbados on June 08, 2024.
