Get the scoop on three Australian players to watch in the T20 World Cup clash against England. T20 World Cup 2024 is set to witness a few heated clashes during this weekend. While the world is waiting for the India vs Pakistan encounter, the fans will first get to witness England and Australia battle it out at the Kensington Oval ground in Barbados.
Australia began their campaign with an easy win over Oman thanks to Marcus Stoinis. The veteran All-Rounder shined with the bat scoring 67 not out and also picked 3 wickets with the ball. David Warner too scored a brilliant fifty on a pitch which was proving difficult to bat on initially.
England on the other hand could get just a single point from their opening encounter against Scotland. Constant rain meant that Scotland ended the 10-over affair at 90/0 and the match was called off before England could get a chance to bat. Jos Buttler and his side who are the defending champs will be eagerly looking forward to the game against their arch-rivals.
Here are the three Australian players to watch out for during their game against England
3. Adam Zampa
Australian spinner Adam Zampa will be playing his 7th T20 match against England. So far he has picked 6 wickets from his 6 matches but he can target the best batters that will be handy for the Aussies. Adam Zampa can give the ball good flight and also surprise the batters with his quicker ones. England have traditionally struggled against leg-spinners and Adam Zampa will want to exploit that weakness.
2. Mitchell Starc
Left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc has come back into good form with the ball in recent times. His performances during the latter half of the IPL have shown the class and threat he brings to the opposition teams. Mitchell Starc will look to target Phil Salt early as he knows how dangerous his KKR teammate can be with the bat.
1. David Warner
Veteran Australian batter David Warner is playing his final-ever tournament for Australia. The left-handed batter will want to bow out on a high by winning the T20 World Cup. David Warner has played a total of 7 matches against England and scored 295 runs with the bat. The left-handed batter will be the key man for Australia against the pace of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer and give his team a good start.
