Australia have an upper hand against Pakistan in World Twenty20 .
Dhaka: Australia will start their World Twenty20 campaign on Sunday by
pitting against Pakistan at Shere Bangla Ntational Stadium, Mirpur.
Though,
Australia have never won a World Twenty20, they are certainly among the
favourites to lift the trophy. In fact, they have arguably the best
batting line up in the tournament. In David Warner and Aaron Finch,
Australia have a dangerous opening pair. In the middle-order they have
destructive batsmen in skipper George Bailey, Brad Hodge, Brad Haddin
and Glenn Maxwell. That`s not all, they also have James Faulkner and
Shane Watson who falls in the category of genuine all-rounders.
Australia
have quality bowlers in Mitchell Starc and Brad Hogg but they will
definitely miss the services of deadly speedster Mitchell Johnson, who
is out of the tournament due to infected toe.
Pakistan, who have
lost their first match against India, will be under immense pressure to
win this game to keep their hopes alive to reach the next level of the
tournament.
Most of the Australian players have a fair idea of
sub-continent tracks as they have been playing in Indian Premier League
for quite some time now. So, on papers, Australia are clear favourites
to win the match. But it would be interesting to watch whether the
Australian team will start their campaign on a winning note or against
all odds Pakistan will come out triumphant.
