T20 World Cup 2022: Beating Australia in their own conditions will be difficult – Virender Sehwag predicts finalists

Former Indian opener Virender Sehwag reckons it will be difficult for other teams to beat Australia in the T20 World Cup, as the Aussies will be playing in their own conditions. Australia has always been a force to reckon with in their own conditions and they are also the reigning champions. But the Aaron Finch-led recently lost the three-match T20I series against England.

Sehwag predicted that Australia and India could be the two finalists of the ongoing T20I showpiece. Australia will begin their T20 World Cup campaign against New Zealand on Saturday at the SCG whereas India will face Pakistan on Sunday at the MCG.

Both of these teams have a balanced squad and they will be looking to go all the way in the marquee event.

“The hosts are Australia and defeating them Down Under is very difficult. The other would be the Indian team who are balanced and have experience of playing in Australia,” Virender Sehwag said on Cricbuzz.

Earlier, Virender Sehwag had predicted that Pakistan captain and opener Babar Azam will finish the tournament as the leading run-getter.

“He has been extraordinary. Great fun to watch. There is a sense of calmness whenever Virat Kohli bats and you get something similar when watching Babar,” he said.

On the other hand, former England captain Michael Vaughan had echoed Sehwag’s thoughts and backed Azam to finish as the highest run-getter. Babar Azam is currently in third place in the ICC T20I rankings with 808 rating points.

“This year’s T20 World Cup, I am going with Babar Azam. Brilliant player, Pakistan’s opening batter. A great combination with Rizwan at the top of the order. So consistent, Babar Azam will score the most runs,” said Vaughan.

Babar Azam will lead Pakistan in their opening match of the T20 World Cup against India at the iconic MCG on Sunday.
