bowl_out Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 If not for the grouping, I would have picked Aus, Eng, WI, NZ(despite the 0-5 against India) But with this grouping, England, India, WI, Aus are likely semi finalists Link to comment

Will not discount SA, the darkhorse this time, if de Kock, Malan, Dussen, Klaasen, Rabada, Ngidi, etc. play well WI would have a mix from Russell, Pollard, Hope, Hetmyer, Pooran, Simmons, etc., so if it is playing well, it can be scary .... Eng has firepower and Aus would be playing at home Quite an open world cup depending upon which teams shape up well in the tournament Link to comment
Cricketphile Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 India England is going to be a crucial battle. If India somehow manages to win it, they can finish top of the group and face the less strong team from the other group (probably New Zealand) and one of the stronger England Australia teams will be knocked out. This means an easier route to the final and then it’s anyone’s game. Interestingly this was similar to what happened in the ongoing women’s t20 World Cup although there was an upset in the other group as well and India got England in the semis (and possibly Australia in the final, if both teams win the semis that is) Link to comment
zen Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) If Ind plays with an 11 like below, it can "really" compete well: KL Shaw/Rohit/Gill (depending upon form) Pant (batting in the top order) Kohli Iyer Pandya Rana (can bowl too) or if some big hitter like Samad, Abhishek Sharma is in good form and shows potential 3 inform bowlers per conditions and opposition from: Shami, Saini, Bhuvi, Krishna, Kuldeep, Chhal, R Chahar, .... Bumrah If we have below, the bowling will have to fire "big time", and it could also depends upon how (badly) other teams are playing: Dhawan Rohit Kohli KL Iyer (or Dhoni if he makes his way back post IPL) Pandya Jadeja Bhuvi Shami Chahal Bumrah Edited March 4, 2020 by zen Link to comment
Ajju Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Remember this ll happen after IPL so DHONI ll be in some beast mode and can win wc for india Rasgulla, nevada and Adi_91 3 Link to comment
Suhaan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 With Kohli there,its a given,we are not winning,question is who among Aus,Nz,Eng going to win it SK_IH and nevada 2 Link to comment
zen Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Voting in poll is all over the place, not accounting for "other", need to choose 2 among Aus, NZ, and WI (group 1), and 2 among Eng, Ind, and SA (group 2) Edited March 4, 2020 by zen Link to comment
zen Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Group 1 Aus (home advantage) NZ (good AR team) WI (batting advantage) Group 2 Eng (batting advantage) Ind (bowling advantage) SA (dark horse) still early days but which ones should I go for?

rageaddict Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) It will be an interesting tournament for sure on the fast paced bouncy wickets of Australia. I dont think India has a chance to win the tournament. England, Australia, WI have a strong chance. India is lucky to be placed in an easier group and are expected to win against SA to qualify for the Semis. They will most likely meet WI/Aus at the Semis and England/Aus/Wi in the finals and i dont back them to beat two strong sides in back to back matches. Group 1 is the Group of the Death. There is no chance of an India Pakistan contest in this WC barring a miracle. Cant see Pakistan progressing ahead of NZ, WI and Australian. I wish one of the teams between NZ and Pakistan was placed in the Indian Group, it would have been two more balanced groups rather than one easier group and the other group of death.

Vickydev Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 It's still some time away, but if it were held today we'll be out in the group stage. No way we are competing against England, will be a close one against SA, but I think we'll lose. sergio04 and nevada 2 Link to comment
Stan AF Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 On these huge australian grounds our wrist spinners will be a handful. It is a must for india to have 2 wrist spinners. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 The grouping is almost like ICC wants India and england to qualify no matter what. nevada 1 Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think if India drops Dhawan & let KL open we might have a chance. Also we need a power packed dynamic guy who can bowl as well (Nitish Rana perhaps). Semi is going to be tough one for us. Final is in huge MCG where our spinners can do the job for us. Rahul Chahar need to be given more chances. Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 My realistic 11 would be Dhawan Rohit KL Virat Iyer Pandya Pant Thakur (cos he can hit a few) Kuldeep Saini Bhumrah Link to comment
zen Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 Ind vs SA is at Perth (10/24) Ind vs Eng is at Melbourne (11/1) Link to comment
