Windies will be the team to beat in the ICC World T20 - Watson - Cricket News Update
Australian vice-captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, scheduled to be held in September.
Speaking to ICC’s new weekly show, Cricket 360°, Watson said, “I actually think the West Indies are going to be the team to beat. They have got a really well balanced team that has played a lot of high quality Twenty20 cricket around the world and they certainly
know how to perform under pressure.”
Australians reached the finals of the previous edition in 2010 after defeating Pakistan in a thriller, but they ended up as runners-up after a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/KP-Pietersen-c1806 inspired England routed them in the final, staged in the Caribbean.

Caps, a perception also shared by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Watson-c96326.
