Ambati Rayudu: The T20 World Cup is going to start on June 2 on the soil of America and West Indies. The 20 teams participating in this mega event have also started playing practice matches among themselves. With this, the phase of speculations and apprehensions has also started. Many cricket experts and former players are predicting the 4 teams that will reach the semi-finals. But in the meantime, former Indian player Ambati Rayudu has selected 4 such semi-finalists for the T20 World Cup, knowing which you will also be surprised.

Ambati Rayudu made a big prediction

Ambati Rayudu, while talking to Star Sports, predicted the 4 teams that will reach the semi-finals for the T20 World Cup 2024. He named India, New Zealand, South Africa and defending champions England as the strongest contenders to reach the semi-finals.

Here Rayudu ignored teams like Australia and Pakistan, which has surprised the fans a bit. On the other hand, South Africa had a very bad last T20 World Cup.

Last World Cup of New Zealand and South Africa

South Africa's performance in the last T20 World Cup played in Australia was very poor. They were eliminated from the group stage after losing to the Netherlands. On the other hand, New Zealand had to face defeat against Pakistan in the semi-finals. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how correct Ambati Rayudu's prediction about these two teams proves to be.

The adventure will last for a month

The T20 World Cup 2024 will start from June 2, while the final match will be played on June 29. 20 teams are participating in this mega event, which have been divided into four groups of 5 each. The top 2 teams of each group will get a place in the next stage i.e. Super 8 and from here the top 4 teams will enter the semi-finals. In such a situation, taking any match lightly can prove to be costly for the teams.
