The game saw Australia defeating the Three Lions by a margin of 36 runs. The cricketing powerhouses and Ashes rivals are placed in Group B.
D uring the 14th over of England's innings, bowled by Josh Hazlewood, all-rounder Glenn Maxwell mocked rival fans with WWE legend John Cena’s ‘You can’t see me’ gesture. England’s Jonny Bairstow attempted a slog hit off a Bairstow delivery but failed to execute it properly and sent the ball towards the deep mid-wicket.
