ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Top Teams to watch out for

India: With the best bench strengths in the World, India is one of the strongest teams heading into this team. India has all the departments covered from opening to all-rounders to bowlers. This Indian squad is better than ever before.

England: The winners of the last ICC white-ball tournament, England, are playing under the same leadership of Eoin Morgan that got the best results. On paper, they are the strongest team and others will have to watch out for them.

Australia: Australia might not have had the best results in their recent white-ball games, but they are a force to reckon with. If they get going, other teams will feel the pressure, and Australia will have better results.

West Indies: When it comes to T20, West Indies is the first name that pops into the mind every time. They are one of the most powerful teams, and also a very smart T20 team. They are the defending champions and can win this time too.
