Travis Head: After lighting up the opening T20I against England through some explosive striking of the ball through a 23-ball 59, Australia’s left-handed opener Travis Head credited his consistent run in the shortest format to him being in really good positions to hit the ball.

At Southampton, Head raced to a 19-ball fifty, his fourth fifty-plus score this year in T20Is. But he grabbed attention yet again by smashing Sam Curran for 30 runs in an over – laced with three fours and a hat-trick of sixes, to set up a convincing win for Australia. Last week, Head also hit a 25-ball 80 against Scotland last week, where he got his fifty in just 17 balls.
