Having won the World Test Championship and the 50-overs World Cup in 2023, Australia are hoping to be the first team to hold the global titles in all three formats simultaneously. Four comprehensive victories in the group matches suggest the Mitchell Marsh-led squad have the form and personnel to achieve that. The Caribbean team did not qualify for last year's 50-overs World Cup in India but look determined to do well in a format that is their strong suit. Daren Sammy captained West Indies to T20 World Cup titles in 2012 and 2016 and the former all-rounder has transformed the side since taking over the coaching reins. They play South Africa in a Group 2 match in Antigua to kick off the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
