Who Will Win T20 World Cup 2024?
In T20 cricket where one ball can change the results is difficult to predict the winner, but according to sportsganga experts Australia is predicted to continue its dominance and win the 2024 T20 World Cup as well. Many factors point in that direction. Firstly, Australian players like Pat Cummins, Travis Head, and Marcus Stoinis are in red-hot form in the ongoing IPL season.
The players who are not performing well will also get back in form with the national team because Australian players usually tend to do that. The Aussies have one of the most well-balanced teams in the world, and that will probably pay off in the 2024 T20 World Cup as well.
