England lose T20 series as well

Australia completed clean sweep of wins over England in all formats with an 8-wicket win in the second Twenty20.


Australia completed a clean sweep of victories over England in all formats when it won the second Twenty20 international by eight wickets to clinch the three-match series 2-0.

After winning the Ashes Test series 5-0 and the five-match One-Day International series 4-1, Australia added to England's summer of misery by following up its 13-run win in the first T20 with a comprehensive win which clinched the T20 series in two games.

Captain George Bailey made 60 not out from 28 balls and Cameron White 57 in an unbroken 78-run partnership which guided Australia past England's paltry 130-9 with 5.1 overs remaining.

White was 41 not out, having set the hectic tempo of the Australian innings, when he was joined by Bailey at 53-2. He was then outdone by his captain who completed a half century from 24 balls, with five fours and three sixes, while White took his score from 41 to 53.
