The 2022 T20 World Cup is now in its last round of group matches, and no side has yet secured a spot in the semi-finals. India, South Africa, Pakistan, and Bangladesh are still running from Group 2, while New Zealand, England, Australia, and Sri Lanka are still running from Group 1. Ireland defeated England in the World Cup, and Zimbabwe beat Pakistan in another two shocking victories. Due to those outcomes, it is still exceedingly difficult for specific teams to qualify for the semi-finals.
In the middle of this, former Australia captain Ricky Ponting made predictions on the potential winners of the main competition in his column for the ICC website.
“Honestly, I have no idea who will perform in Melbourne. I hope Australia needs to find a method to go beyond the group. The only unbeaten team left is South Africa, so that they will be a threat, but I’ll reiterate what I said at the outset: the final will feature Australia and India, according to Ponting’s ICC column.
It’s about playing your best cricket in the second half of the competition, and that’s what teams must intend to do. Australia has been a touch-off in most departments, and India is missing Jasprit Bumrah.
Ponting said he would be in Melbourne for the final on November 13. “I’ll be at the championship, and I can’t wait.
“I’ll be at the championship, and I can’t wait. Those who have never witnessed the MCG host a significant game should come and do so. It is difficult to express, but this environment gives you the impression that you are a part of everything around you, which is quite special,” he wrote.
“It has been a terrific event when I have looked around the stadiums here and watched the people that have shown up and the cricket that has been played. The India vs. Pakistan game was a fantastic spectacle, and several surprises along the road have further enhanced it. When we reached the final, I was convinced that this would be something special.
