    The third game is a "dead rubber" where Australia is left with only pride to play.

    In the two T20Is, Australian bowling has not ignited as England batters have found it easy to score runs in the two matches. Except for Nathan Ellis and Marcus Stoinis, the rest of the team has performed poorly. The hosts have also been hampered by a lack of runs from middle-order players. Glenn Maxwell scored six low-scoring runs.

    England has taken most of the points and is aiming for a rare 3-0 win. Dawid Malan's form has been great, and so has Moeen Ali. Ben Stokes has yet to score and will be eager to get going.

    Australia's players to watch

     1. Mitchell Marsh- He was the top scorer in the Australian side by smashing 45 runs from 29 balls in the second T20.

     2. Marcus Stoinis- He took three wickets from his spell of four overs and is the pick of the bowler for Australia.

    England's players to watch

    1. Dawid Malan- He was named man of the match after scoring 82 runs off 49 deliveries to help England set a lofty target against Australia.

    2. Sam Curran- He took three wickets in the last match against Australia, and he is the pick of the bowler for England.
