T20 World Cup 2024: ODI champions Australia will look to emulate the feat of their Ashes by winning the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and the West Indies.

Before the World Cup 2023, England were the champions in both the white-ball formats. They won the 2019 World Cup and then the T20 World Cup 2024 in Australia.

Australia now stand the chance of emulating their feat by clinching the T20 World Cup 2024. High on confidence after winning the World Test Championship (WTC) title and ODI World Cup last year, Australia have fielded a strong team.

The Mitchell Marsh-led team once again walk into an ICC tournament as favourites. Here are the three Australia players who can have the maximum impact on Australia's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign.

Travis Head: One of the most feared white-ball batters at the moment, Travis Head is expected to have a massive impact on the T20 World Cup 2024 in general. He smashed a hundred in the WTC final, then in the World Cup, and was in superb form in the IPL 2024.

He finished the IPL 2024 campaign as the fourth-highest run-scorer. The 15 matches in the tournament saw the left-hand batter score 567 runs at an average of 40.50 and a strike rate of 191.55. Head's T20I career has seen him score 656 runs in 26 matches at an average of 29.81 and a strike rate of 147.08.

Josh Hazlewood: In the warm-up game against Namibia, Hazlewood bowled three maidens, and picked two wickets for just five runs in four overs.

Hazlewood is only of the two fast bowlers in the top ten of ICC T20I rankings. The 33-year-old has played 45 T20I matches and picked 61 wickets at an average of 21.37 and an economy rate of 7.68.

Glenn Maxwell: The expected spin-friendly conditions can make Glenn Maxwell Australia's trump card in the T20 World Cup 2024. Maxwell endured a horrid IPL 2024 run, and would be raring to shine at the big stage.

He was one of the key players for Australia in the ODI World Cup last year, and the T20I format is tailor-made for the star all-rounder. Maxwell has featured in 106 T20I matches and scored 2468 runs at an average of 30.09 and a strike rate of 155.51. He has five international tons to his name. He has also picked 40 wickets at an economy of 7.98.
