India
The Indian squad is led by Rohit Sharma and includes familiar names such as Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli. Their spinners and opening batting order are expected to win them the cup.
Australia
Australia remained undefeated in the first group stage of the tournament. Large partnerships and players suited to the West Indies pitches make them a top contender.
South Africa
Although the performance by the top-order batsmen was questionable, South Africa remained unbeaten in the first group stage and has all the tools to pull off their first ever T20 championship.
England
The reigning champions and highly decorated team, England is in it to win it. Although not having a fully dominant group stage run, all who watch cricket are familiar with England's late comebacks.
United States
The US advanced from the first group stage defying all expectations. They are the underdog and may take unsuspecting teams by surprise. This makes them a team to watch.
