T20 World Cup | Two-time World Cup winning captain Ricky Ponting has made his prediction about the winning team of the T20 World Cup to be held in October-November. Former Australia captain Ponting revealed the names of the two teams that he believes will reach the final of the T20 World Cup 2022 this time. He also told which of the two teams that reached the final would win the title.

Ponting said in an interview with Sanjana Ganesan in The ICC Review that only two teams - India and Australia - will reach the final of the T20 World Cup 2022. He further said that in these Australia will be able to defend their title. Australia won the title by defeating New Zealand in the T20 World Cup played in the UAE last year.

Ponting said, “I think India and Australia will be the two teams playing the T20 World Cup 2022 final and all I have to say is that the Australian team will beat India in the final. The defending champions have home conditions and that's something that doesn't make Australia's win in the last World Cup remarkable, but it's a little good for them."

He added, “The fact is that a lot of people, including me, thought that when they went to the UAE, the circumstances they had to face behind the IPL, so their chances of winning. Chances were work. But he found his way. I think on papers the three teams that seem to have the most class and the most number of match wins are India, Australia and England.
