We can give this event a real shake: Steve Smith

Australia skipper Steve Smith on Saturday stressed on the importance of winning the ICC World Twenty20, the one trophy missing from the glittering cabinet of the record five-time world champions who’re no. 1 in Test and ODI format.

“It’s the one trophy that eluded us. We want to win every tournament and series that we play in. We are pretty settled. We have got 15 guys who can give this tournament a real shake,” Smith said about the fifth ranked side.

“We played good in South Africa to win that series there. Guys have stepped up and we’re in good form. It’s going to take us squad mentality to do well in this tournament,” the Aussie skipper said about the team who won in South Africa 3-1 before landing here.”

“It’s just about being positive. We’ve got a good squad together. We know what to expect. It’s about going out there and making sure we can execute our skills.”
