The previous encounter between Australia and England in T20 World Cup 2022 was washed out due to rain. The game was set to take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne. However, the fans could not get to witness the high-octane clash as rain played spoilsport and even the toss could not take place. Australia and England have played 4 matches against each other in the T20 World Cup. The three Lions have won 2 games, while the Aussies have won 1. The other match was washed out in 2022.
