Australia begin treble bid against self-assured Oman

Australia begin their T20 World Cup campaign against Oman in Barbados today, aiming to become champions across all three formats after winning the Test Championship and ODI World Cup. The experienced squad boasts stars like David Warner, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood. Oman skipper Aqib Ilyas believes his team’s spin attack could trouble Australia, who he feels lack good players of spin. Spin is expected to play a key role at the Kensington Oval venue. Photos: AFP
