Winning Prediction Of Team India
By the results of India’s ODI matches from late 2022 to 2023, India has lost series to Bangladesh outside of home but has whitewashed Sri Lanka and New Zealand at home. On the other side, India has recently lost an ODI series at home against Australia.
Ultimately, the Asia Cup will feature exclusively Asian countries. So India may do well at the Asia Cup 2023, and perhaps Rohit Sharma and his squad will bring home the championship after a gap of 5 years.
