Match 26 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is going to be an exciting one with two great rivals colliding on Saturday with England playing Australia. Both the teams are in great form winning their opening games in the Super 12. Australia is coming off a convincing win versus Sri Lanka. The Aussies First restricted the Lankans for 154 runs owing to brilliant bowling figures from Adam Zampa and Mitchell Starc, then went on to chase the target easily with David Warner scoring a half-century.

Warner’s 65 off 42 balls was the biggest positive from the last game as the Southpaw has been going through a rough patch with the bat before this game. England, however, has higher odds of winning owing to their current limited-overs form. The 50-over World champion is touted to be the favourites for the t20 world cup. The dominant display against West Indies and Bangladesh will also help their confidence coming into this game.
Here are the probable XIs and squads of both the units for this game.
