The final Twenty20 International between Australia vs England was called off due to weather. This effectively implies that England has won the series 2-0.

The game was termed off since there was no way for it to advance.
The match was called off after 3.5 overs of Australia’s innings. There was no outcome.
England’s assault is presently led by David Willey. Marcus Stoinis goes for a carefree single and nearly gets run out. Smith scores a goal to give Canberra fans anything to cheer about. Stoinis scores with a nice cut shot over point. And the rain has returned. Cricket Falls. 3/30 after three overs.
