The ICC Twenty20 World Cup 2020 has been postponed for a year due to the outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic. Finally, the seventh edition of the T20 World Cup will begin on October 17 this year. The top two teams from each group of the Super 12 round will advance to the tournament's first elimination phase. Five Test-playing nations are expected to compete in each group. Among them, which two teams from Group 1 have the highest chance of qualifying for the semifinals in the T20 World Cup 2021? The favorites to qualify for the semi-finals from Group 1 are discussed in this article. Favorites to qualify for semifinals from group 1 of Super 12 round West Indies Teams often emphasize including more experienced cricketers When they pick their World Cup squads. Because experience always comes in handy at a large event. The two-time T20 World Cup champion West Indies have selected 37-year-old veteran Ravi Rampaul in their squad, who was a key member of the 2012 ICC T20 World Cup-winning Windies side. Ravi Rampaul last played for the Windies in a match against Sri Lanka in 2015. The selectors dropped Jason Holder to make a place in the team for Rampaul. Holder is an important part of the West Indies' current lineup, though his recent T20 performance has been underwhelming.   Overall, the Windies have a number of real match winners who can change the scenario of a game on their own. The Caribbean squad is the most balanced among the group 1 teams and they have a real opportunity to go to the T20 World Cup semifinals if they win at least three matches in the super 12 phase. They will be favorite against Sri Lanka (if they finish first in group A of the qualifying round), Scotland (if finish second in the group B of qualifying round) and South Africa.
