Batters win you games and bowlers win you tournaments but at the end of the day, the team combination is what helps a particular team win a major tournament. Especially in T20 cricket, when the entire complexion of a match can change in just six deliveries. For example, despite having a star-studded team, India didn’t win a single ICC trophy in the last nine years and on the other hand, South Africa being one of the best teams of the last decade, failed to win any major trophy. This proves that somewhere down the line, they didn’t have the right balance among players.
As the 2022 T20 World Cup will begin in exactly a month’s time, here’s a perfect time to look at all the teams to check how they are shaping up before the global tournament. Australia the host nation have qualified for the super twelve along with India, England, South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, New Zealand.
