Australia and England: a historic meeting that cricket traditionalists have circled on their calendar 12 months out.

Except when it comes to T20.

Australia have lost their last five T20 series on the trot — including a 2-1 series loss to England in 2020.

While England are ranked No. 1 in the world in the shortest form of the game, Australia are down in sixth position.

However, if you bleed green and gold there is a silver lining, of sorts: historically, Australia lift against England, winning 10 of their 19 matches against the Old Enemy.

It’s an improvement of mere percentage points better than their overall record, but it still counts.

The two nations meet in the Super 12 group stages of the T20 World Cup, with fellow powerhouse South Africa and the unpredictable West Indies also serving as obstacles to the business end of the World Cup.

Can Australia defy the rankings — or will England reaffirm themselves as the team to beat?
