The T20 World Cup 2024 is going to begin in less than a week with the warmup games scheduled to begin from May 28. Just like it's always the trend to pick up the top four sides of the World Cup this time too something similar is going to happen.
In this article, we will find out the teams who can dominate the proceedings from the get-go.
Without Much delay let's begin
The Men In Blue are up and ready for the T20 World Cup, the team selected for the multi-national event looks dominant with the bat with guys like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Surya Kumar Yadav, and many more. On the bowling front, the bowling is handled by the Wizard Jasprit Bumrah, the rest of the bowlers are coming into the tournament on the back of some with some pasting done by the batters in the recently concluded IPL. Overall the Squad looks solid as compared to the previous 2 editions, the Men in Blue haven't won an ICC trophy in the last 11 years. Can they break the hoodoo only time will tell.
The Kangaroos as always stand as the firm favorites to lift another title, this in the captaincy of Mitchell Marsh. The Aussie squad looks strong this time too with many of the ODI World Cup-bound players playing in this T20 World Cup, openers Travis Head and David Warner are in decent nick and the Australians will expect the team to stand on the podium once again.
How Can we forget the Hosts? When it comes to T20s the West Indies are a giant beast boasting of gun batters, bowlers who can swing it big, and plenty of all-rounders guys like Andre Russell, Nicholas Pooran, and Kyle Mayers hit the ball long and high. If the bowling group can support the batters and together they can have a consistent run just like they had in 2012 and 2016 there is no one stopping the West Indies from adding a third title to their kitty.
The winners of the last edition again start as the favorites with an even more powerful squad this season, with the likes of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood beefing up their bowling stalks. The batting is taken care of with guys like Jonny Bairstow, Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, and Sam Curran from the fulcrum of the lineup. For England their batting is a little inconsistent if come into a party for 20-odd days they can defend their title with ease.
