With the much-awaited ICC <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup-2021-match-18-south-africa-vs-west-indies-match-prediction-who-will-win-todays-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 WC 2021</a> kicking off with Australia taking on South Africa, there has been so much buzz about the second group. Even though the first group is considered as the “Group of Death”, the second group is competitive as well. Adding on, nobody knows what might happen in the shortest format of the game.

The pitches in the UAE are slow and there is no doubt that the Asian teams will dominate the tournament. More options mean more flexibility for the team. Adding on, a team needs a strong batting order too, to succeed in UAE.

India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Namibia, Scotland, and New Zealand will be fighting for two semi-final spots. Amongst them, only three teams have quality spinners. But, it will come down to who manages to improvise and adapt to the conditions. Well, let us predict the-

Final team standings for Group 2 in T20 WC 2021

6. Namibia

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572019" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Namibia-cricket-team-1.jpg" alt="Namibia cricket team" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572019" class="wp-caption-text">Namibia cricket team. (Photo by Matthew Lewis-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Namibia, an African country is ranked 19th in the ICC T20 rankings. No one had expected them to reach the Super 12 of the T20 World Cup. But, with sheer determination, they have pulled off a miracle against Ireland.

Their captain Gerhard Erasmus has been a good leader. He has used his resources excellently in the qualifiers. But, in the Super 12, they have some stiff competition. Well, who knows, the Namibian spirit might overthrow the big teams.

All eyes will be on David Wiese as the former South African cricketer will now represent Namibia. He scored a smooth 66 against the Netherlands to guide his team to victory. Apart from that, they have the talent to beat teams like Scotland as well. But, to defeat teams like India and Pakistan, they need a few more talented players. Hence, they might not get into the semis.

5. Scotland

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572673" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Scotland-cricket-team.jpg" alt="Scotland cricket team" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572673" class="wp-caption-text">Scotland cricket team. (Photo by Francois Nel-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Scottish side managed to dominate the qualifiers this time. With their captain Kyle Coetzer managing his team excellently, they have managed to beat Bangladesh in the qualifiers. Hence, no team will take them lightly in the second group.

They will face Afghanistan, Namibia, New Zealand, India, and lastly <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/not-a-big-loss-its-an-absolute-hammering-sunil-gavaskar-after-india-slips-to-10-wicket-defeat-against-pakistan/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pakistan</a>. We do expect them to win against Namibia and if they manage to beat a team like New Zealand or Pakistan, it will be a decent campaign for them. But, their chances look slim at the moment.

For them, their key player is Josh Davey. He has been excellent with the ball as he picked 8 wickets at an average of 8.37. Adding on, his economy rate has been 5.82. There is no doubt that if they can beat Bangladesh, they have the potential to drag an upset win in this tournament.

4. Afghanistan

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup-2021-predicted-afghanistan-xi-for-super-12-match-vs-scotland/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Afghanistan </a>will be going into the Super 12 with a lot of confidence after defeating the Windies. Over time, they have grown as a team and are continuing as well. This World Cup might be the gateway for them to establish themselves as a strong team.

They have a strong bowling lineup. Even stronger than a few Group 1 teams. In this edition, they were not a part of the qualifiers because of their rankings. Hence, one can have an idea about their potential.

Talking about key players, Rashid Khan is their go-to man for every occasion. He can give away a few runs in his four overs. Adding on, he can smash the ball out of the park with ease.

3. New Zealand

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-570375" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/New-Zealand.jpg" alt="New Zealand" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-570375" class="wp-caption-text">New Zealand. (Photo Source: Twitter/Blackcaps)</figcaption>

The Kiwis are a strong team that can adapt to the conditions. And with few of their players having experienced the UAE conditions, it will help other players to get accommodated to the surroundings as well. They have a strong batting order with a decent bowling attack.

With Trent Boult being the leader of the bowling attack, the fans are expecting him to fire on all cylinders early on. However, he will need help from his fellow bowlers as well. With an economy rate of 8.14 since last year, he is having a sensational record in the shortest format of the game.

The Kiwis have numerous power hitters in the squad. This is where Kane Williamson comes in as a specialist. He can play the role of the anchor whereas another batsman will play freely around him. This makes them a dangerous side. However, the UAE conditions will suit Pakistan and India. So, they might fail to reach the semis.

2. Pakistan

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-572287" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Pakistan-cricket-team.jpg" alt="Pakistan cricket team" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-572287" class="wp-caption-text">Pakistan cricket team. (Photo by Gareth Copley-ICC/ICC via Getty Images)</figcaption>

Pakistan is one of the favorites to get through the semis because of the conditions. They have a strong side with a good mixture of youth and experience this year. Adding on, they have been consistent in this format as well.

Currently ranked third, the South Asian team will look to dominate the inconsistent sides in the Group. They will have to go through New Zealand to secure a second spot phase. But, as Shadab, Shoaib, and Imran offer more bowling options, they look stronger than Kiwis.

All eyes will be on <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/inconsistency-has-been-our-issue-and-we-have-to-change-that-babar-azam-motivates-his-teammates-after-clinical-victory-over-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Babar Azam,</a> their captain. The star player is currently ranked second in the T20 Rankings. With 2204 runs under his belt, he can score more freely. Adding on, this is the best Pakistan side since the 2012 T20 World cup. Hence, this time, the expectations are high and they have skyrocketed as they defeated India by 10 wickets in their T20 WC opener.

1. India

(Photo by Francois Nel/Getty Images)</figcaption>

The Indian cricket team is the favorite to win the tournament this year. Their captain <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/if-you-want-controversy-tell-me-before-ill-answer-accordingly-virat-kohli-after-journalist-asks-if-ishan-kishan-shouldve-played-in-place-of-rohit-sharma/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Virat Kohli</a> has emphasized fitness over anything and the result is a super-strong Indian side. Adding on, they have a strong bowling lineup as well.

IPL has been a great platform for youngsters. Hence as a result of which they have stars like Suryakumar and Ishan in the middle order. With Pant keeping the wickets and Jadeja handling every sector, the team looks complete.

It seems that this is India’s strongest ever T20 team. They can bat up to number 10 and hence, this might instill fear in the mind of the opposition. Varun Chakravarthy’s mystery element also adds more strength to this side. Hence, there is no doubt that they will qualify for the semis.

With the much-awaited ICC <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/t20-world-cup-2021-match-18-south-africa-vs-west-indies-match-prediction-who-will-win-todays-match/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">T20 WC 2021</a> kicking off with Australia taking on South Africa, there has been so much buzz about the second group.
