Former pacer Brett Lee believes with David Warner in prime form, "underdogs" Australia are well poised to clinch their maiden ICC T20 World Cup title this time.
Australia have four points from three outings and are under the pump to win their remaining fixtures as South Africa are ahead of them with six points from four games and also have a better net run rate.
Lee believes the Men in Blue, who won the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007, are strong contenders to win the tournament that starts on Sunday.
Lee also said the fact that bench strength is crucial for a team nowadays, especially in times of bio-bubble, was evident from India's success on the tour of Australia.

Kohli will be in action as India take on New Zealand in the much-awaited World Test Championship final from June 18th. Following the summit clash, the Indian team will take on hosts England for a five-Test series which starts in August.
An interesting sub-plot of the clash will be the different styles of captaincy that Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson will bring to the table. Lee said it would be an interesting battle.
