Former India batsman Aakash Chopra believes Australia has a strong team in the T20 World Cup 2021 and that they are “ticking all the boxes.”
Australia faced serious doubts entering into the ICC event after losing T20Is to the West Indies and Bangladesh, despite playing without several first-team players. Aakash Chopra
With their key players returned, the Australians improved their performance and won convincingly against South Africa and Sri Lanka. On Saturday, they will meet old rivals England in Dubai.
“One major concern for Australia was the form of Aaron Finch and David Warner. They have got runs now. Mitchell Marsh has been a bit short but Australia have a lot of confidence in him given his performances in recent times.” He elaborated
“Steve Smith’s role will be a little different. He might not come into bat if Australia get a good start. The Aussies are likely to promote Maxwell and Stoinis. If they lose early wickets, Smith will come in.” He explained

“There have got three all-rounders in Marsh, Maxwell and Stoinis, who can combine and give Australia four overs with the ball. They have got three gun fast bowlers and a leg-spinner spinner,who is flying under the radar – Adam Zampa is brilliant. This team is ticking all the boxes. Finch as a captain has been very good in the T20 format.” Chopra pointed
In their match versus Sri Lanka, Australia performed admirably on all fronts. Zampa, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins each took two wickets, while Warner scored a half-century in his return to form.
