Now, Vaughan has unveiled his most powerful batting units at the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024 and opined that whoever team manages to score 225+, will have strong chances in the tournament.

The commentator picked the West Indies, Australia, South Africa, England, New Zealand, India, and Pakistan as the most powerful batting units going into the ICC event.
