T20 WC 2021: Rating batting line-ups of top 8 teams ahead of the tournament

3. Australia- 8.5/10

Australia are likely to have a power-packed batting unit going into the T20 WC. David Warner should open the batting along with Aaron Finch if the latter recovers from his knee injury. If Finch doesn’t get fit, Matthew Wade is the most probable candidate as Warner’s opening partner.

Daniel Christian recently scored 30 in one of the overs against Bangladesh and he can be used as an opener as well. Mitchell Marsh has been in jaw-dropping form in recent times while batting at No.3. It remains to be seen how the Aussie team management sets the batting lineup when Steve Smith returns.

Glenn Maxwell can hit the boundaries from the word go and his utility can’t be undermined. The likes of Ashton Agar, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc can also add valuable runs batting lower down the order.
