KATHMANDU: NOV. 14 – When it comes to Australia’s cricket team, it is reminiscent of the 1990s and 2000s. At the time, Australia’s game was one of the highest. Australia would have held on to the main title of the ICC. One after another, the Kangaroo team won many trophies. Australia became the only team in the world to win the World Cup three times.

At that time, the opposition team would be defensive with Australia. In 1999, 2003 and 2007, the team completed a hat-trick by winning the ODI World Cup. But when the T20 format entered the world of cricket. Australia’s strong legacy is weakening. By the time the T20 World Cup 2016 started in 2007, 6 editions have already been organized. Australia reached the final only once in 2007. But after that, it could not remain as the favorite team in T20 World Cup. However, Australia was aiming to win the title again in 2010. But England did not allow his dream to come true.

But today, once again, Australia has a chance to win the title in this short format. Australia will take on New Zealand in the final in Dubai. Cricket fans around the world are divided into two poles. Thus, this final of the World Cup is considered to be much awaited.

Five-time world champion

Australia have never won a T20 World Cup, but they have a record of winning the most ODI titles. The Kangaroos won the title for the first time in 1987 when they defeated England by seven wickets under the captaincy of Allan Border. Then in 1999 Steve Waugh and in 2003 and 2007 Ricky Ponting and 2015 Michael Clarke led the team to the World Cup title. Australia have won five of their last seven World Cup finals.

Australia’s rule in the Mini World Cup

The ICC Champions Trophy is considered a mini-World Cup. This trophy is also dominated by Australia. Australia proved their mettle by winning the Champions Trophy consecutively in 2006 and 2009. Now only Australia is waiting for the T20 World Cup title.

The wait for the T20 World Cup, which began in 2007 with Ricky Ponting as captain, has now shifted to Aaron Finch. So Finch, who is responsible for ending the 14-year wait, will have to wait for the game in Dubai from 7:45 pm to end Australia’s wait or extend it again.
