with 2022 Asia Cup Fast forward, Shane Watson has made some big calls in the latest episode of ICC Review, making his choice for the overall winner, declaring why Virat Kohli is ready to return to form and thinking that Can Pakistan reunite on India? The T20I tournament is set to begin in the United Arab Emirates on August 27, and there is a lot of intrigue with the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in Australia just around the corner.

Who will win the Asia Cup 2022?
There are several strong contenders – India and Pakistan being the most favorite among them – but Watson chose India to win the tournament. India have won 19 of their 24 T20Is since the end of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup last year and have concluded with a fresh approach under captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid.
Watson’s prediction about Asia Cup 2022
“My predicted winner is India,” Watson told Sanjana Ganesan on the ICC review. “They are very strong and depending on the circumstances, they adapt easily to the circumstances.”
When asked about the biggest threat to India’s success, Watson was quick to pick arch-rivals Pakistan, saying the winner of the India-Pakistan clash on August 28 would win the tournament.
