We have enough match winners in our team to win the T20 World Cup: Glenn Maxwell

The upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2021 is set to begin on October 17. All the teams have announced the squad for the global event, which is going to be staged in Oman and UAE.

Australia too have named their 15-member team for the same. Incidentally, the team is yet to win the title in the shortest format. The T20 World Cup has been running since 2007, and strangely, the Men in Yellow have underperformed, to say the least, in the six editions that have gone by.

All-rounder Glenn Maxwell, however, feels that his team can go all the way and win the elusive title in this year’s T20 World Cup. The 32-year-old also spoke about how it is a well-balanced side with a lot of experienced players in it.

“One hundred percent we can win it. I think we’ve got a great squad, and we’ve got a lot of experience in there. If you can get one or two players that are running hot at the start of the tournament, it can be hard to stop. I certainly feel like we’ve got more than enough match-winners in our side to do that,” said Glenn Maxwell as quoted by Cricket.com.au.

Apart from having Maxwell, Australia have quite a few experienced players in the form of Aaron Finch, Pat Cummins, Marcus Stoinis, and David Warner in the team.

Traditionally, the team has relied on having pace bowlers more but considering the tournament is going to be staged in the UAE, the team has added three spinners in the form of Adam Zampa, Ashton Agar, and Mitchell Swepson.
