With the Men's T20 World Cup starting on Saturday, we assess the five teams who can knock Australia off its pedestal and win the tournament down under.
In no particular order, these are the nations who will make some serious noise as they look to snatch the title from the hosts.
4. South Africa
The white ball format over the years for South Africa hasn't been kind. Particularly in T20 World Cups. Only once in six tournaments have the Proteas made the semi-final - in 2014 losing to India by 6 wickets. But this campaign feels they are every chance.
With the diminutive skipper Temba Bavuma leading the reigns, the side possesses a combination of power-hitting batsmen and bowlers who tear away at breakneck speed. There are plenty of destructive players within the lineup which includes David Miller, Rilee Rossouw, Quinton DeKock, Heinrich Klaasen, and Rezza Hendricks. All are capable of causing major damage in a short period of time.
With its batting lineup set, the bowling ranks run deep. Led by the express pace of Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje and the spin combination of Keshav Maharaj and Tabraiz Shamsi, it is a bowling group not to be underestimated.
The side has had solid results since last year's campaign with a series win over Ireland, beating England in their own backyard, with the only blemish coming against India. If its practice match annihilation of New Zealand is anything to go by, then watch out for the rainbow nation.
