Highest score in an Australia vs England T20 match
The highest score in an Australia vs England T20 head to head match was made by Australia who scored 248 in a match that took place at the Rose Bowl in 2013.
Having won the toss and elected to field on a very flat surface, England got an early breakthrough in a slightly comical fashion after David Warner lost his bat and his wicket in skying a catch to Jos Buttler. However, fellow opener Aaron Finch embarked on a record-breaking innings of his own as he smashed what was at the time the highest score by a batsman in a T20 international (156). Indeed, Finch would go on to break his own record making 172 against Zimbabwe in a T20 game 5 years later.
Finch was given support by the Australian middle order in the form of Shaun Marsh and Shane Watson who he shared century partnerships with. Australia’s record total against England might have been higher had Finch managed to bat out the overs but they managed just 22 runs from the final 16 balls to finish on 248.
At the time, Australia’s score of 248 was the record highest total between 2 Test-playing nations in a T20i and it remains the record highest score for T20 internationals played in England.

From an England point of view, Jon Lewis making his England debut in any form of cricket, was the standout performer with 4 for 24 while old stager Darren Gough also returned the impressive figures of 3 for 16.
