This Australian side is a pretty balanced squad with enough bowling and batting options; this gives them the flexibility to feed a playing XI according to the playing conditions. Considering the hard and bouncy wickets of the West Indies, Australia’s bowling attack is looking lethal.
The 2021 edition champions will fancy their chances of winning this tournament, as the majority of their players are coming from a long IPL season and are in form. This allows the team to acclimate to the format and improves their chances of winning significantly.
