The T20 World Cup 2022 got underway on October 16 with the preliminary qualifying round. 8 teams will battle in 2 groups of 4 each, with the top two teams from each group proceeding to the Super 12 round – the main round – which will commence on October 22.
In the Super 12 round, teams are divided into two groups of 6 each, and the top two teams from each group will battle out in the semi-finals for a place in the final, which is slated for October 13 at the iconic MCG.
Here are the two groups of the Super 12 round:
Group 1: Australia, New Zealand, England, Afghanistan, A1, B2
Group 2: India, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, B1, A2
Legendary Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar has in the past made some of the most accurate predictions when it came to ICC tournaments. Tendulkar correctly predicted the four semi-finalts of the 2015 ODI World Cup – India, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand; Tendulkar also had named England as the dark horses ahead of the T20 World Cup 2016, and Eoin Morgan’s team went deep till the final, only failing short in the last over against Carlos Brathwaite.
Who will be the semi-finalists according to Sachin Tendulkar in T20 World Cup 2022?

Sachin Tendulkar now has confidently picked India and Pakistan to top their group in the upcoming T20 World Cup, while naming the in-form South Africa as the dark horse from Group 2.
From the other pool, Group 1, Tendulkar named Australia and England as overwhelming favourites to reach the semis, with New Zealand as the dark horse from Group 1.
”My semifinalists will be India and Pakistan from our pool. If Pakistan bat well I see them through, otherwise it will be South Africa. They are the dark horse in our pool. The conditions in Australia are similar to the conditions back home for them. In the other pool, England and Australia are the favourites with New Zealand being the dark horse. They tend to do well in the ICC championships,” Tendulkar was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz.
