Predictions

[stephen]

All that recent ODI results have told me is that WI have joined the pack of competitive mid-tier teams, and will likely be scrapping over two semi final spots with NZ, Aus, SA & Pakistan.

NZ probably a clear third at the moment though.

 

[straw man]

NZ probably a clear third at the moment though.

Don't think there's enough evidence for that - recently lost to India who are clearly better, and beat SL and Bang who are clearly worse. Haven't played any of the similar-level teams lately apart from Pakistan in the UAE late last year which ended 1-1.

You need to get to knock out to choke..... unless thats the joke!

 

[GeorgeFowell]

The Indian cricket team is the best this time.

 

[Raghav]

England, India, NZ, South Africa - one of them will win the cup and all their games

 

[Andy1993]

Get to the final you play 13 games, i cant see anyone winning all 13 games

 

[MW1304]

I think 11? Either way that's an absurd number of games. Gonna be a long tournament.

 

[Andy1993]

ah yeah think it is 11, either way dont see anyone winning that many games

 

[Raghav]

Thinking one team will do and win just like how SL did it in 96

 

[mahisharma2]

Final four team will be India, Australia, Pakistan and South Africa

 

[stephen]

No game will live up to the quality of the last final played in England - the final that gave the victor the right to play Pakistan in the semi. The final that is written in folk lore as the greatest ODI of all time, in spite of the fact that there were barely 400 runs scored in the match. The final that broke South Africa despite ending in a tie.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

In the group match, Windies will bowl out Bangladesh for less than a 100.

And the second greatest ODI happened in their super six encounter the match before lol. What a cup.

I see India's bowling being taken apart.

I see all bowling being taken apart.

Indeed.
