Ayy I don't really care for Asia cup, but looking at this competition I might give 2 shits about it. Count me in.

Asia cup is competition where one finalist is India, and who else — pak/sl?

Very good prize money btw, tbf it looks bit too generous for asia cup comp.

Selecting the winner and runner-up in big events like IPL, Big Bash, etc. becomes very tough, but in events like Asia Cup or World Cup, it is very easy to predict which team will win. This time, it can be said with certainty that India will be the final team in the Asia Cup, and it may not be possible to predict who the other team will be, but it is also certain that India will be the champion.

I have deep interest to participate in the prediction campaign.

Yeah, India could be the one of the finalist, I agree with you both because current ranking of T20I is saying the same thing:

Still, the fact 'past records got nothing to do with future performance' is very true especially for T20 format. If my memory serves me better, India was not preforming well in 2021 T20 world cup in the same venue (India lost against Pakistan and New Zealand and failed to qualify for semi final). Similarly, in 2022 edition of Asia cup was played in T20 format where Sri Lanka was the champion in the same venue.

I expect few surprises from Afghanistan and Bangladesh just because of T20 format.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka got all the talents to surprise the top ranked India.
