Former Aussie captain Ricky Ponting has predicted the winner of the Twenty20 World Cup starting in October. Ponting’s prediction is that Australia will win the title in this year’s World Cup. India and Australia will meet in the final. Ponting also opined that Australia will beat India in that. The player added that since the tournament is being held in Australia, Australia, who are also the current champions, have an advantage.
England are the best white-ball team. Ponting said that apart from India and Australia, England will also perform well in the World Cup.
But the star predicts that Pakistan is unlikely to win the World Cup. Ponting added that if Babar doesn’t shine in the Assam tournament, he doesn’t think they can win the title. Recently, former Pakistan player Waqar Younis said that Pakistan will win the second World Twenty20 by winning this World Cup.
The former Australian captain said winning a tournament like the World Cup requires a bit of luck and would not be surprised if New Zealand, Pakistan and West Indies reach the final. Ponting is a two-time ODI World Cup winning Australian captain.
