May 26 (CRICKETNMORE) - Usman Khawaja admits claiming the scalp of the world’s No.1 side on the eve of the World Cup is a real confidence booster for Australia. Australia downed England by 12 runs on Saturday at the Hampshire Bowl in their first official warm-up game for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2019.

That was England’s first ODI defeat of the summer after completing a 4-0 whitewash of Pakistan earlier this month.
