It needs to be said that one of the favourites to win the ongoing T20 World Cup is Australia, considering their rich cricket legacy and fighting spirit. However, it appears that the Australian team is finding it extremely hard to sustain momentum in the tournament.
The shocking part is that Australia has already lost two games in the group stage itself, and these defeats came against relatively weaker teams like Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka.
At this stage, Australia must definitely win their remaining matches and hope that Zimbabwe lose both of their games. If Zimbabwe can win at least one of their remaining two matches, they will eliminate Australia and progress to the Super 8, which would be a significant achievement.
It is strange to see one of the title favourites almost getting eliminated in the group stage itself.
However, it must be noted that Australia had multiple injuries in the squad, including Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Marsh. It was always going to be tough to sustain in the tournament with so many major injuries, and that is now reflecting in Australia’s performance.
