Australia SWOT Analysis: What are Australia’s strengths and weaknesses for the T20 World Cup, know everything here
Despite having quality bowlers, the absence of a proper death bowler could spoil their campaign in the T20 World Cup. The trio of Josh Hazlewood, Starc and Cummins have proven to be expensive in the slog overs in T20 cricket for some time now. So this could be a matter of concern for the Australian team ahead of the T20 World Cup. Opportunity (who will have the chance) England defeated Australia in the final of the 2010 T20 World Cup and the Australian team will have another chance to correct their mistakes this time. Mitchell Marsh will have a golden opportunity to prove himself. The Delhi Capitals and Australia all-rounder is considered one of the best cricketers his country has ever produced. Threats (Who will pose a threat to them) David Warner and Glenn Maxwell have been the reason behind Australia’s strength. But their poor form in the IPL has raised big questions about their T20 credentials. If the Australian team has to succeed in the ICC T20 World Cup, then it will be very important for these two to come into form.

After this, the KKR franchise could not win any title for 10 years. Gautam Gambhir was made the mentor of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024.
