5 reasons why Australia could win the World T20
It is always a big mistake to write off the prospects of a team like Australia winning a major ICC tournament. Not many people gave the Aussies a chance of emerging as champions prior to the ICC World Cup last year, yet they fought all odds to bring the coveted trophy back to their country.Although the World T20 section of the Australian trophy cupboard remains bare, they have every chance of winning their first title this time around. There are a number of important factors which make them one of the primary contenders for becoming the reigning champions in both limited-over formats.Here are 5 reasons why Australia could win the World T20:
#1 Terrific opening duo of Warner and Finch
One of the key strengths for Australia in the batting department has been the competent opening pair of David Warner and Aaron Finch. While Finch is among the best batsmen in T20Is at present, Warner's prowess in the shortest format is known to everyone.
Together, they make for a great combination at the top of the order for the Australians and have been producing the goods for quite some time now. It will be important for teams to get off to a solid start during the World T20 if they are to get big scores.
More often than not, the Aussies have managed to score big runs whenever Finch and Warner have managed to click as a pair.
