The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup: An Early Preview
Read Viren’s preview of this year’s upcoming Men’s T20 World Cup.
For cricket fanatics like myself, the countdown has well and truly begun to October this year when the T20 World Cup gets underway Down Under. It has been four years since the Carlos Brathwaite inspired West Indies clinched their second T20 World Cup title in a tense final at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
So now the attention turns to who will hold the trophy aloft on the 15th of November at the MCG? With 240 players, 16 teams and 1 dream, let the extravaganza begin…
Players to Watch
Virat Kohli: Perhaps the Don Bradman of this current generation. Kohli is a master of chases who seems to regain his form every time he steps out for India. He has a knack of scoring runs Down Under and seems to thrive on the big stage.
Jasprit Bumrah: Prior to his meteoric rise over the previous three years, India had struggled finding a death bowler who could consistently deliver toe-crushing yorkers to wrap up the innings. His uncanny ability to bowl yorkers at ease whilst also being a potent threat with the new ball will make him the trump-card for Kohli and his troops.
Steven Smith: He has been on an unprecedented roller coaster over the past two years. The peaks and troughs of life and the game of cricket have not been as clear to anyone else. From the depths of what I call “sandpapergate” at Newlands nearly two years ago and then a suspension spanning over a year, to singlehandedly stunning the English during the Ashes this past summer: It’s safe to say that Smith has seen it all. Following silencing his critics during the Ashes, its time that we admire his artistry with the willow. He will be determined to score heavily to hand Australia its elusive World T20 title.
The Dark-Horse Team
Afghanistan: A side with a great blend of youth and experience. They have punched above their weight in international cricket over the past three years and pose a threat to each and every side they face. With mystery spinners in the form of Mujeeb Ur-Rahman and Rashid Khan, aggressive openers in Zazai and Shahzad and an experienced all-rounder in the form of Nabi, Afghanistan have the ingredients for a memorable campaign.
Australia: Boosted by the return of Steven Smith and David Warner last year, the dark days of Australian Cricket following the ball tampering incident in South Africa seem to be behind them. They have been clinical as of late, winning the Ashes in England and white washing the likes of New Zealand and Pakistan at home. Moreover, they trounced Sri Lanka in three T20s. It’s safe to say that Australia haven’t looked as dangerous going into a World T20 before. For a country that has 5 ICC Cricket World Cups under its belt, they are not one to bet against winning their first World T20 with the added aid of home nation advantage.

My Semi-finalsts Predictions
Australia
England
India
Sri Lanka: Another left field, albeit biased, pick. This may seem a tad ambitious seeing that Sri Lanka will have to start their campaign in the qualifiers. However, following a comprehensive drubbing of the West Indies at home and with Mickey Arthur, Grant Flower and others slowly instilling much needed discipline and a vision in the side, Malinga and company are not to be taken lightly. This could be the swansong of Malinga’s career and with the backing of the Sri Lanka-Aussie faithful, which makes a match at the MCG seem like a home game at the R.Premadasa, many would hope to see the best of Lasith. The patriot in me dares to believe…
