The eighth edition of the T20 World Cup, which began in Australia on October 16, is now nearing its final stage. As the series heads towards the conclusion of the Super 12 round, none of the teams have yet secured a place in the semi-finals. In that sense the series is going very well. The competition has been tough so far, with the top two teams in each category qualifying for the semi-finals.
Also, various former players and cricket experts are expressing their opinions about the teams that will play in the finals of this series. In that way, the former captain of the Australian team, Ricky Ponting, has announced his opinion on which two teams will face each other in the final on October 13 at the Melbourne Stadium.

Regarding this, he said: I think India and Australia will face each other in the final match to be held at the Melbourne Stadium. Similarly, Ricky Ponting said that South Africa have been a dangerous team throughout this series. He continued: “To tell you the truth, nobody knows who will play in the final at the Melbourne Stadium.”
But as far as I’m concerned, I think Australia and India will clash in the final, Ponting said. It can be said that the Indian team, which is placed in Group Two, has defeated Pakistan, Netherlands and Bangladesh in this Super 12 round and now has a foot in the semi-finals with 6 points.

As the Indian team will only play against Zimbabwe in the Super 12 round, the Indian team will definitely qualify for the semi-final round. Meanwhile, Australia suffered a huge defeat against New Zealand in the first match. After that they won the match against the Sri Lankan team.

Later, the important match against England team was stopped due to rain and the points were shared between the two teams. After that, Ireland defeated the team. It is worth noting that the Australian team, which has obtained 5 points, is in the third place in the points table, and will advance to the semi-finals only if the Australian team defeats Afghanistan by a huge margin in the last match.
