The home side emerged from the blocks with great expectation, drove by George Munsey, and were promisingly positioned in spite of delivery wickets in their endeavor to keep up a high early run rate. Nonetheless, from 101 for 3 in the twelfth over they lost 6 for 44 with the progressions of speed from Australia's quicks demonstrating compelling on a marginally two-paced surface close by two wickets from Adam Zampa. Any thought that 154 might be near cutthroat was taken care of in an unprecedented showcase of powerplay hitting by Head and Mitchell Bog after Jake Fraser-McGurk had succumbed to a duck on his T20I debut. At one phase 14 sequential conveyances were limits as Australia wrapped up with the second-most elevated powerplay absolute in T20Is of 113 for 1 of which Head had 73 himself, beating Paul Stirling's 67 goes against West Indies in 2020.

George Munsey (28 off 16) effortlessly looked the most familiar of the parcel while Richie Berrington and Matthew Cross likewise got 20s however the hosts required a couple of their players to dive deep into the innings.
