T20 World Cup 2022 Winning Prediction

The ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will be played between the best 16 cricketing sides across the globe. The 8 teams which have directly qualified for the super 12 stages are the prime contenders to lift the trophy.

However, considering the current form and squads, the following 4 teams are favourites to reach the semi-finals:

  • England from Group 1
  • Australia from Group 1
  • Pakistan from Group 2
  • South Africa from Group 2

There can be a disagreement about the favourite sides, but England and Australia are the 2 favourite sides in the tournament right now.

Although it’s a tough call, I’ll predict that the ODI World Champions England will win the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia.

Can ODI World Champions become the World T20 champions as well.
