In the recently concluded third and final T20I, it was Moeen Ali and not Eoin Morgan, who came for the toss as the latter picked up a finger injury, which ruled him out of the contest. n doing so, Moeen Ali became the first Muslim player to captain England in cricket. The same was pointed out by English broadcaster Piers Morgan on Twitter. Piers Morgan took to Twitter and congratulated Moeen Ali on becoming the England cricket team's first Muslim captain. He also lauded the RCB star's achievement and called him a great player and person altogether.
The game however ended on a sad note for the all-rounder as England lost the game by 5 wickets. The hosts managed to post just 145 runs on the board in their 20 overs riding on the back of a fine half-century by Jonny Bairstow and a quick cameo of 29 by Joe Denly. n response, Australia got off to a flyer as they posted 70 in the first seven overs. Further, vital contributions from Mitchell Marsh (39 off 36 balls) and Ashton Agar (16 off 13 balls) ensured Australia reach the finishing line without much hurdle. Meanwhile, Moeen Ali is all set to play for Virat Kohli's RCB. The IPL 2020 is scheduled to start from September 19, with the final scheduled to be played on November 10.
