David Malan played a knock of 82 in 49 deliveries and Sam Curran's 3-wicket spell guided England to 8 run win against Australia in the 2nd T20I.

The table turned for England in last four overs as Sam Curran puts Australia under pressure with Tim David's wicket. Needing 22 off the last 6 balls, Cummins hits Curran for a six in the first ball, a couple of runs in the second ball, single taken off the third ball and fourth ball.
