Having lost mere one of the last 17 complete T20Is, the defending World Champions Australia are hands down yet again favourites to lift the title this year as well.

During the previous edition of the Cup in 2020, they had decimated India by 85 runs in front of a jam-packed Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during the grand finale.

The ever-dominating Australian side has in fact, lifted the T20 World Cup at total of five times out of seven previous editions.

Barring the inaugural edition of the tournament 2009, when England emerged to be the champions, and in the year 2016 (when they had lost to West Indies in the final), the Aussies have lifted the Cup in the years 2010, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2020.

About the author

Gurpreet Singh

Gurpreet Singh is a Cricket writer at The Sportsrush. His platonic relationship with sports had always been there since childhood, but Cricket managed to strike a special, intimate nerve of his heart. Although his initial dream of playing the sport at the highest level couldn't come to fruition, Gurpreet did represent the state of Jharkhand at the under-14 level. However, almost like taking a pledge to never let the undying passion for Cricket fade away even a tad, he made sure to continue the love relationship by assigning the field of journalism as an indirect Cupid. He thus, first finished his bachelor's in journalism and then pursued the PG Diploma course in English journalism from the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC). Soon after and since 2019, he has been working at The Sportsrush. Apart from sports, he takes keen interest in politics, and in understanding women and gender-related issues.
