England and Pakistan have been the only unbeaten teams in the ongoing 2021 edition of the T20 World Cup. England decimated their arch-rivals Australia on Saturday. Australia batted first and was bowled out for just 125. During the chase, the Englishmen came out all guns blazing and registered a comfortable 8-wicket win with more than 8 overs to spare. England has now posted a hat trick of wins in the Super 12 stages.

Pakistan too won their previous match against Afghanistan in scintillating fashion. When the men in green needed 24 runs off the final 2 overs for victory, Asif Ali tore into Karim Janat in the 19th over and smashed 4 sixes to seal the match for his side. India have not yet posted a win in the tournament. In the only match that they have played, Virat Kohli and his men were thrashed by Pakistan by 10 wickets.
On the other hand, the Australian side is placed at third place in the points table in Group 1 as they have won 2 out of the 3 matches that they have played in the tournament. Except Australia, all the other teams that Warne has predicted as the semifinalists have won the T20 World Cup trophy.
