Australia Cricket Team is the most successful team in the history of cricket. They have won the most number of ICC Titles. Under the leadership of players like Steve Waugh, Ricky Ponting, and Pat Cummins, the Australian Team went on to dominate the world. Surprisingly, Australia has won only one T20 World Cup trophy, and that was also recently in the seventh edition of the tournament.
However, they are believed to be one of the strongest teams in the shortest format of the world right now. Players like Travis Head, Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa have made the Australia Cricket Team a favourite for the next few T20 World Cups. Here, we take a look at the records and stats of the Australia Cricket Team in T20s.
