T20 World Cup 2021: England made a big statement of intent, asserting their status as title favourites as they hammered arch-rivals Australia by 8 wickets, gunning down a 126-run target in just 11.4 overs in Dubai on Saturday.

England sent a warning notice to other teams at T20 World Cup with the demolition job of Australia in their Super 12 Group 1 match on Saturday in Dubai.

Australia huffed and puffed to get to 125 in 20 overs after a timid batting effort from their top-order. Captain Aaron Finch hit 44 but there was no other notable contribution as the likes of Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan and Tymal Mills ran through their batting order.
