ICC T20 World Cup 2022 kicked off on October 16, 2022, Down Under, and in the first round, eight teams are locking horns with one another. After the first round, the top 4 teams will fill the vacant places in the Super 12 stage by qualifying for it. 

In the Super 12 stage, eyes will be set on veterans such as Rohit Sharma, Aaron Finch, David Warner, Martin Guptill, and Shakib Al Hasan as the legends will probably feature for the last time in T20 World Cups due to their growing age. These players before hanging their boots will try to deliver their best in the tournament to hold the prestigious T20 World Cup trophy.

On the other hand, for youngsters such as Rishabh Pant, Arshdeep Singh, Naseem Shah, Sam Curran, and Harry Brook, it’s an opportunity to become a household name by showing their talent in the World Cup. With a blend of youngsters and veterans, these sides will try to have the last laugh by lifting the trophy in the final at the MCG.
