N/A You know what I will say and which team I am supporting so don’t ask  |
|
hmmm no I am not going to say a word more that how the hell I can put such thing, thats how I am. Don’t agree with that? oh specially India losing to Pakistan? well have a go and say it loud in comment box.
Oh and don’t forget to add your predictions those will be highly appreciated 
Great analysis and predictions mate. I do agree with you on most counts bar one. I feel it will be a tossup between Pakistan and India. Hence, to choose either is toughie. But being a neutral, my money is on India for the sub-continental dual. I dare say, Indian batters need to play exceedingly well to cope with the potent Pakistani bowling unit which is perhaps the best of the tourney.
Finally, I put my money on a India-South Africa final but you count out the Sri-Lankans at your peril. So watch out for them as well.
South Africa and Australia are still the best teams in the world but in these kind of tournaments you know how things surprise you, and what wrong if your preictions get wrong> isn’tit fun
Sri Lanka will win this tournament! They already beat south africa! The only teams that can threaten SL are India and Australia.
yes abdussamad Sri Lanka is a strong contender and they surely have a chance to make it to final but let see, this is somewhat like a knock out tournament so one bad day could end your run.
The comment about pitches at the start of your analysis couldn’t be more different as it is in reality!
Hoping for australia to crash out in round 1! it would be a shame if india and pakistan fail to do that with their matches at Centurion!
yes mate you can see how the pitch is behaving specially The Wanderers. In Pak vs WI match we have seen some good movement and bounce early on and now right now England seamer are trashing Sri Lankans batting line up.
So far two of my predictions went wrong, First Sri Lanka beat SA in first match and then Sri Lanka were beaten by frustrated or Inspired England
Let see whats next? more the predictions went wrong till semis more it will get interesting
India losted
hahahahahahahahaha.
