Australia beat England by 39 runs to
win the first Twenty20 international. Aaron Finch's 156, the highest individual
score in a T20 international, Finch smashed 14 sixes and eleven boundaries
in his 63-ball innings to set a world record for the highest individual score
in all T20 internationals and the first century by an Australian at this
level. Australia’s total was 248 for 6, which is 2nd highest total
score in T2o international.
England then lost early wickets before
Joe Root's unbeaten 90 saw them finish on 209 for six. Victory was Australia's
first in any competitive international for 200 days and saw them go 1-0 up in a
two-match series that concludes at Durham on Saturday.
