Australia, the home advantage

The Kangaroos haven”t won the T20 trophy since its inception in 2007. With the series being played at home next year, it will be interesting how they make the best use of it.

Though the last three editions of the World Cup were favorable to the hosts, the trends are different in T20″s. No host country has won the T20 trophy till now. Will the same trend continue?
