Australia and England play their third Twenty20 International match at Old Trafford in Manchester, with the series on the line. After managing in the second game, which the hosts won, Josh Hazlewood is anticipated to return to the Australian team.

Ben Dwarshuis was added to the Australian team for the series' third and final game. Australia prevailed by 28 runs in the first match, and England triumphed by three wickets in the second. In the second Twenty20 International, England stunned Australia by winning by three wickets to tie the three-match series at one. With young players Brydon Carse and Jacob Bethell shining, England also demonstrated the depth of their talent pool. In the fifteenth over, Bethell (44) and Liam Livingstone (87) shared a 90-run partnership, with Bethell hitting three boundaries and a six off Adam Zampa (0-37). In addition to fast bowler Josh Hazelwood being rested, Australia's skipper Mitchell Marsh was missing from the action due to sickness.
