Virender Sehwag made a bold prediction about who would win the Asia Cup this year, and it may surprise Team India fans.
The upcoming Asia Cup 2022 match will feature India against Sri Lanka. The match between India and Sri Lanka will take place on September 6(Tuesday).
India lost their first game of the season to Pakistan after winning their first two games in the Asia Cup 2022 group stages. Pakistan defeated their last rival by a margin of five wickets. Sri Lanka recently defeated Afghanistan by a margin of four wickets.
India lost the game against Pakistan as a result of their poor fielding and bowling. Their bowlers were unable to put consistent interruptions on the run flow, despite the success of their batters.

Given their loss to Pakistan in their previous Super 4 match, Virender Sehwag said in a statement to Cricbuzz that India must win the upcoming match. The legendary Indian cricketer also made the audacious prediction that Pakistan might win.
“If India loses another match, they would be eliminated from the tournament. Pakistan has the opportunity. If they lose one match and win another, their net run rate will propel them to the final because they have only lost one match and won two” Virender Sehwag said.
“India has already lost one match, and if they lose another, they would be eliminated. As a result, India is under pressure. Pakistan will play in the final for the first time in a long time, and they also defeated India in the Asia Cup for the first time in a long time “, Sehwag explained.
“This could also be Pakistan’s year”, Virender Sehwag further added.
Pakistan last appeared in the Asia Cup final in 2014, when they were defeated by Sri Lanka by five wickets.
