 Words By Aaron Finch And Matthew Mott The Australian skipper Aaron Finch said, ‘The group is wide open because any team can win on any day. That's the thing about T20; you can't take anything for granted in a game. Afghanistan, they're a really skillful, talented side. Ireland has got the skills there. Sri Lanka on a day can beat anyone as well. So, I think the group was always going to be wide open, and it's a tough group to get through, no doubt.’

 Head coach of England, Matthew Mott stated on Ben Stokes’ role in T20s, ‘I thought his bowling has been a real bonus for us. I think a lot of people probably underestimate his bowling coming into this tournament. And he's been key for us. I think he bowled some big overs particularly in the power play. With the bat, he hasn't come off yet. But his career would suggest that at some point someone's going to pay a price and hopefully that's Australia in a day's time.’

 Squads Australia David Warner, Aaron Finch(c), Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w), Pat Cummins, Ashton Agar, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa, Cameron Green, and Steven Smith.
