The Asia Cup 2022 is going to bring a lot of action and entertainment for fans and cricket lovers. But who will win the Asia Cup 2022 will remain a mystery until the final is played so we will try to predict the winner of this tournament on the basis of past records and teams.
A total of six teams will take part in the Asia Cup 2022. The five teams who have a direct entry into the Asia Cup are India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. The sixth team will be finalized through a qualifier round which will be played among United Arab Emirates (UAE), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Kuwait. Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan will share group A while India, Pakistan, and Qualifier have been included in group B.
The two teams who are looking the strongest on paper are India and Pakistan. All others are seeming bread and butter for them. The only opponent which can give a tough time to India in the Asia Cup 2022 is Pakistan and the Men in Blue might play them three times in the competition. Taking a close look at the Squads of both teams, India has a better spin bowling unit while Pakistan always has a better pace bowling attack. Men in Blue have destructive batters like Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya in their lineup. On the other hand, Pakistan also has some brilliant batsmen like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Fakhar Zaman in their bunch. However, India’s batting unit looks more solid and destructive which is required in this format of the game so they might be the favorites for Asia Cup 2022. India has won the Asia Cup seven times which is the most by any team in this competition and they are also the defending champions.
Prediction: INDIA TO WIN.
