ICC T20 World Cup 2022: 4 Teams Who Have The Capability To Qualify For The Semi-Final Of The Tournament
1. India
India is the first team that has the capability to qualify for the semi-finals of ICC T20 World Cup 2022. India has teams like Pakistan, South Africa, and Bangladesh in their group. Recently, India crushed South Africa and Australia in a T20I series at home 2-1.
India is also the top-ranked T20I team in the ICC rankings currently. Last time, India could not reach the semi-finals after losing 2 crucial games in the group stage. This time, they will be all eager to grab an entry in the semi-finals. India has not lost a T20I series this year against any team.
2. South Africa
South Africa is another team that can grab an entry into the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. South Africa is part of Group 2 in the tournament. South Africa has a strong set of players that can crush any opponent.
A few months back, they defeated England in a T20I series during an away tour. They also gave a strong attack to India in the away T20I series in June this year, drawing the series 2-2. Most of their top players are in good form which is a positive aspect for the team.
3. New Zealand
New Zealand is another team that has the capability to reach the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. New Zealand is a strong team that always performs brilliantly in ICC tournaments. For instance, New Zealand reached the final of the ICC T20 World Cup last year. They also reached the final of the ODI World Cup 2019 and won the ICC World Test Championship 2019-2021 final last year.
In addition, ICC T20 World Cup 2022 will be held in Australia, which is New Zealand’s neighbouring country. The pitch conditions and weather conditions of Australian grounds are very similar to New Zealand and the Kiwis will get the advantage of that.

4. Australia
Australia is another team that has the capability to reach the semi-finals of the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Australia is the home team in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Hence, they have home advantage in the tournament. Last year, Australia silenced every one by winning the T20 World Cup title in UAE, when they were expected by many experts to not even reach the semi-finals.
Being the defending champions and the home team, Australia has a lot of confidence in the tournament. They have a strong squad that comprises world-class batsmen and bowlers. In a recent T20I game against India, Australia chased down a gigantic 209-run target shattering many previous records.
