Aakash Chopra, the former Indian cricketer-turned-expert, continued to make stunning predictions for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2022, starting on October 16 with group-stage matches in Australia.

While Australia, India, England, Pakistan, Afghanistan, South Africa, New Zealand, and Bangladesh have already qualified for the Super 12 stage of the upcoming T20 World Cup 2022, the West Indies, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Scotland, Ireland, UAE, Namibia, and the Netherlands will compete for the rest of the two places in the super four stages in the group stage of the tournament.

Well, the most anticipated clash of the tournament will take place on October 23 between India and Pakistan at the MCG, and Chopra predicted that the winner of this contest will be one of the teams to make it to the semifinals of the T20 World Cup 2022 from Group 2.

Aakash Chopra said in a video uploaded by his YouTube channel: “Two teams out of India, Pakistan, and South Africa will go ahead. They (Pakistan) should reach the semi-finals, but it will not be easy. I am saying only one out of India and Pakistan will make it. Whoever wins the India-Pakistan match will make it. I feel South Africa will make it.”

Pakistan had beaten India in the last edition of the T20 World Cup 2021 in UAE by 10 wickets, their first win over their rivals in World Cup cricket. However, India still holds the upper hand when it comes to T20Is in 2022, having won a world record 23 matches (ongoing) this year breaking the record of Pakistan.
