Australia aims for triple crown in T20 World Cup opener vs Oman

Australia aims for an unprecedented hat-trick of global titles at the T20 World Cup.

Australia will look to start their campaign for an unprecedented hat-trick of global limited-overs titles when they take on Oman in their T20 World Cup opener in Bridgetown. Having conquered the globe in last year’s T20 World Cup and the recent ODI World Cup, Australia eye the trifecta with their trademark blend of experience and match-winners.

Newly-appointed limited-overs skipper Mitchell Marsh heads a formidable all-round core, while Travis Head showcased scorching form in past Finals.

The pace attack, led by the trusted trio of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood, underpins their title challenge.

Leg-spinner Adam Zampa and Ashton Agar add variety in the spin department. Australia may shuffle combinations in group fixtures to identify their strongest XI.

Oman aims to bounce back after losing the Super Over thriller versus Namibia in the tournament opener. However, responsibility must spread across their batting to trouble Australia’s star-studded line-up.
