Four Teams That Can Make Semi-finals of T20 World Cup

West Indies

The two time champions will again be one of the team’s to be wary of. When it comes to the shortest format of the game, West Indies have more than a handful of players who believe in clearing the boundary lines with utmost ease. Something that isn’t as frequent in the other camps. Youngsters such as Shimron Hetmeyer and Nichola Pooran carry on the tradition of the fearless brand of hitting the ball into the stands. Whereas, veterans such as Evin Lewis, Andre Russell, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo have all the elements of taking their team to T20 glory yet again.

England

The reigning champions of the world in the 50 over format can certainly pack a punch in T20 cricket as well. The English team has ample quality when it comes to scoring quick runs. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow are two of the most lethal duos in modern day cricket. While, the middle order comprises of Eoin Morgann, Jos Butler and Ben Stokes that can terrorize any bowling attack in the world. Jofra Archer’s quick pace will come in handy on Australian decks, while Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali’s addition adds further stability in the English locker.

Australia

It wouldn’t be fair to not have the hosts in the list. But it is surprising to digest the fact that the five time-champions in the ODI format are yet to win the T20 World Cup ever since its start in 2007. They did come close in 2012 as they made it to the finals of the tournament, but it was arch-rivals England who got the better of them on that day. However, with the Big Bash League spreading its wings, more and more quality cricketers will now be available in the ranks to take advantage of. Batsmen such as Chris Lynn, David Warner, Aaron Finch and of course Glenn Maxwell have it in them keep the invaluable trophy at home this season
