The Teams
Here is the list of the teams appearing in the clashes in the upcoming cricket tournaments:
Afghanistan
It is an experienced squad that would look to play beyond their potential, spearheaded as ever by the brilliant Rashid Khan in the side.
The star spinner, Khan is arguably one of the most dangerous T20 bowlers. Moreover, the support by the likes of Mujeeb Ur Rahman will help Afghan to perform better.
Australia
Australia is currently reigning ICC Men’s T20 World Cup champions and will look forward to defending the title in the T20 World Cup 2022.
They have a powerful batting line-up and a stellar bowling attack that makes them one of the favorites after their unexpected win in 2021.
Bangladesh
Bangladeshi squad has moved up to aggressive playing strategy based, following the multiple all-rounders.
The dismissal in the Asia Cup prompted them to deflect from their current playing strategy. Following the cricket betting tips, you bet on the players accordingly.
England
England holds the 2nd position in the T20I team rankings that is coming into the tournament and England has been consistently being powerful in white-ball cricket for many years.
India
India is the world’s top ranked nation in the rankings of T20I format and will look to get the championship with great players on side.
Ireland
In the 2021 tournament, Irish cricketers shattered but never clicked into gear with the bat. If you are thinking of betting on this team, you should know that they have plenty of talent and have good chances of standing tough in the T20 World Cup 2022.
Namibia
Namibia has a big-hitting line-up that upset the odds in the last year’s matches to enter the Super 12 stage. They would rely on star players David Wiese, Ruben Trumpelmann and Gerhard Erasmus.
Netherlands
This squad already has plenty of gaming experience in the build-up to the tournament. The side is ranked lowest in T20I team rankings.
New Zealand
The NZ team were the defeated finalists in the 2021 edition and has come once again into a big tournament flying under the radar. They are ranked 5th in the T20I rankings.
Pakistan
Pak has the highest ranked opening partnership in T20Is and will hope to get up to a competitive score with Babar Azam and Rizwan opening the batting attack.
Scotland
Scotland is ranked 15th in the world and second-lowest at the tournament just above the Netherlands.
Opening pair George Munsey and Calum MacLeod, and keeper Matthew Cross at first drop might prove crucial for the team.
South Africa
South Africa is known for their bowling strength with Kagiso Rabada, Lungo Ngidi, and Anrich Nortje making an imposing seam-bowling core of the attack.
Sri lanka
Just like the 2021 tournament, Sri Lanka will start their tournament in the first round and with no efforts to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022.
United Arab Emirates
Featuring in just their 2nd ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, UAE entered in the tournament showing great performance at the Global Qualifier A.
