Cricketing legend and Betway ambassador Kelvin Pietersen recently announced his dream Playing 11, after analyzing and scrutinizing different players from all the T20 World Cup teams closely. His Playing 11 has all the top-performers from this season and each player contributed well individually towards the success of their team. To our surprise, David Warner- the player of the tournament 2021 could not make it to the team. As a matter of fact, only one Australian player, Adam Zampa, was included in the team. This came as a shock to many as the whole team has played quite well this season and went on to win the T20 World Cup.

The T20 World Cup took place in UAE this year and the entire Australian team played really well. David Warner had a prominent role in helping the team to win the T20 World Cup 2021. Despite his wonderful performance, Kelvin Pietersen preferred Adam Zampa, the Australian spinner, to be a part of this dream Playing 11 team. His performance was noticeable too throughout the season. He took the most number of wickets (13) after Wanindu Hasaranga (16) in the entire T20 World Cup tournament. In a chat with Betway, Pietersen expressed his view about Zampa’s performance and said that he has some great wicket-taking skills. He is indeed one of the key factors in Australia’s match-winning spree in the entire ICC event.

Apart from Zampa, other eminent players were also chosen for the team from various countries. Jos Butler and Mohammad Rizwan were chosen as the openers for the team as they both were top-scorers in the series. Rizwan showed some great batting skills and was Pakistan’s top run-scorer with 281 runs in six matches, even though he was sick a few days before the tournament started.

Jos Butler scored 269 runs with a century against the Sri Lankan team, which became the highlight of the tournament. He was followed by Babar Azam (303 runs) in third place, Charith Asalanka (231 runs), and Aiden Markram (162 runs) in the fourth and fifth place of the batting order, respectively.

Once Pietersen’s team had eminent and the best batsmen from around the world, he then started choosing all-rounders like Hasaranga, Moeen Ali, and Australian spinner Adam Zampa. For the bowling end, he chose fast bowlers like Shaheen Afridi, Anrich Nortje, and Trent Boult in the team.
