AUSSIES IN WORLD CUP T20

AUSSIES IN WORLD CUP T20
Australia enters the Twenty20 World Cup competition it will host as the reigning champions, a distinction it hasn't had much time to appreciate since winning the championship in Dubai last November. The COVID-19 pandemic has made the past two years for the event challenging and chaotic. The tournament was originally scheduled to take place in 2020, but the pandemic forced the International Cricket Council to postpone it in July of that year. The ICC announced a month later that Australia would host the rescheduled competition in 2022.  Then, to further complicate the usually every-two-years event, the T20 World Cup that was originally planned to take place in India in 2021 was moved to the United Arab Emirates and Oman, where Australia—the tournament's most consistent winner in the 50-over format—won the championship for the first time. On November 14, 2017, Australia defeated New Zealand in the championship game. It will have been champion for a year and a day if it wins the final on Nov. 13 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and successfully defends its crown. in addition to becoming the first nation to win consecutive T20 World Cup championships. There is no doubt that Australia is among the most vicious teams in world cricket today, but the team also has a number of individuals capable of winning single-handedly for the team. One of their vulnerabilities in the competition will be the spin department. They don't have any elite side spinners. The role of spinners will be crucial because the competition will be played in Australia, which has expansive fields. The pace bowling unit, which can quickly and effectively shred the opposing batting order, represents the largest potential that Australia will be looking to capitalise on.
