Dubai International Cricket Stadium will play host to a blockbuster T20 World Cup 2021 match between Australia and England this evening. Ahead of the Ashes, the two arch-rivals will face off in a T20I game at the grandest stage.

Australia and England have not played against each other in the T20 World Cup since the 2010 edition of the mega event. In that tournament, Australia and England qualified for the final, where England prevailed by seven wickets.
