Match 17 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024, will see Australia locking horns with England at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados. This match is scheduled to take place on June 8 at 10:30 PM IST.
When it comes to ICC title, there's no side that is arguably better than Australia. Be it the ODI World Cup, T20 World Cup or ICC World Test Championship, Australia have proven time and again they have what it takes to deliver at the big stages. Ahead of the start of Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, top-order batter Travis Head opened up on the prospect of facing India in the final, admitting that Rohit Sharma's team would want 'revenge' at some point in time.
However, Australia's recent form is impressive, having won four out of their last five games, indicating a robust preparation and a formidable lineup.
Match 10 of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup, 2024, will be played between Australia and Oman (AUS vs OMN) at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown in Barbados on June 6 at 06:00 AM IST.
Australia cricket legend Ricky Ponting has predicted India's fast-bowling spearhead Jasprit Bumrah to be the leading wicket-taker in the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. Bumrah had missed the 2022 edition of the tournament in Australia due to a back injury, which later needed surgery. Bumrah comes into the showpiece event after taking 20 wickets in 13 games for Mumbai Indians, with an astonishing economy rate of 6.48, finishing third in the Purple Cap race.
Former Australia World Cup-winning captain Ricky Ponting predicted that Baggy Greens star opener Travis Head will be the highest run-scorer of the upcoming T20 World Cup. Ahead of the marquee event starting on June 1 in the USA and the West Indies, Travis Head has been enjoying a purple patch with the bat. Ponting has backed Head to emerge as the top run-getter in the highly anticipated tournament. He believes that the southpaw's performance over the past couple of years in all formats of cricket has been of the highest quality.
Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 squad's core members such as Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Travis Head will miss their national side warm-up matches as they will travel back to Australia to take a short break ahead of the mega event. After participating in Sunday's IPL final, Cummins, Head, and Starc will travel back to Australia before re-joining the World Cup team. Among those spending time at home are Glenn Maxwell and Cameron Green, who were a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru's playoff run. When the Australian team travels to Barbados in preparation for their opening group game against Oman on June 5, those five are expected to arrive.
Australia is facing shortage of players and might be forced to use support staff as substitute fielders in the warm-up games of next month's T20 World Cup due to the low turnaround time between the IPL and the global showpiece. Australia are set to play two warm-up games against Namibia on Wednesday and the West Indies on Friday in Trinidad but they might have as few as eight players available for the two matches since most of them will take a break following their stint in the IPL playoffs.
