Sky Sports pundit Nasser Hussain has shared his predictions for the upcoming Men's T20 World Cup 2026, which begins February 7th. Hussain tips India as the tournament winners, citing their home advantage and strong batting lineup. He also anticipates a strong showing from England, currently ranked third in the world, alongside South Africa and Afghanistan as semi-finalists.

Hussain believes England has a balanced bowling attack and a settled squad. He points to the return of Sam Curran and the consistent performances of Adil Rashid as key strengths. He's also impressed with the batting depth, including Phil Salt, Jos Buttler, and Harry Brook, suggesting they have the potential to go far in the competition.

For the surprise packages, Hussain is backing Nepal to perform well. He also expects strong showings from the Netherlands and Scotland. He predicts Abhishek Sharma of India to be the leading run-scorer and teammate Jasprit Bumrah to be the leading wicket-taker. The tournament will be live on Sky Sports from February 7 to March 8.

England, led by Jos Buttler, will be aiming to secure their third T20 World Cup title. They will face Nepal in their opening match in Mumbai. The team's chances will depend on their ability to perform consistently in all facets of the game, especially their bowling in the crucial powerplay overs.
