Former Australian spinner and world-class bowler Shane Warne predicted that T20 World Cup final will be played either between Pakistan and India or England and Australia.
I still believe the teams that will top each group & make it through will look like this, plus semi’s & final…

Aust V England @SkyCricket @FoxCricket
He tweeted this after Australia faced a humiliating defeat at the hands of arch-rival England, the match in which English cricket team outplayed the Aussies.
Shane Warne was not a happy person obviously. He commented, “Proper T20 cricket that from England. Australia will hopefully learn how they need to play after that smashing they copped from the Poms.”
Praising Pakistan professional cricket, Shane Warne commented, “Pakistan and England are showing how to play T/20 cricket.”
He advised Australia Cricket Team need to change their thinking re style of play plus the team.

Warne, one of the all-time great spin bowlers, criticised team selection on social media after Australia faced eight wicket loss as England chased down 125 with more than eight overs remaining.
"Disappointing selection from Australia leaving (Mitch) Marsh out & (Glenn) Maxwell batting in the power play (he should always come in after power play)," he wrote on Twitter.
"(Marcus) Stoinis should have gone in. Poor strategy & tactics from the Aussies. I love Smith but he shouldn't be in the T/20 team. Marsh has to be."
