maniac Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Script says it is SA turn. India England and Aus are not going anywhere in terms of authority on cricket Look at the last few winners: WT20 2014: Srilanka WT20 2016: Westindies U19 WC : Bangladesh CT 2017: Pakistan ICC WTC: Newzealand world cups 2019: England, 2015: Australia. India will win the 2023 edition. That’s also guaranteed but pattern says SA will win this. They are the underdog but not the worst team out there. They are capable of beating any team on their day. Script says South Africa Link to comment
neel roy Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Bowling wise with Rabada,Ngidi and Nortje they are the biggest threat.. also Shamsi is not bad.. they have been successful in UAE grounds in IPL. Issue is other than DeKock, Faf,Miller and Van Der Dussen and to some extent Klassen I dont see any good batsmen..not sure if Faf will play.. my ideal line up will be DeKock Markram Faf Van der Dussen Miller Klassen Phehlukawo Nortje Ngidi Rabada Shamsi verdict: if everything falls in place maximum SF Link to comment

Lone Wolf Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 They are the ultimate underdogs & are paired with both England & India in group stage. They are perfectly capable of beating both these sides. I think they will beat at least one of them & make it a 3 way shootout for Semis. NRR will decide the fate of both chokers India & SA. Link to comment

cricketfan28 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 As usual they will choke. Frustrated 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Will be ironical if the weakest RSA team goes on to achieve this, no pressure/expectation this time so might work in their favor. As we have seen in the past, don't need to be the best team to win an ICC title, somehow get to KO and after that a couple of clutch performances. Can see them beating Kohli's India in the final if we are to meet there, we are one team that have surpassed their choking pedigree. Rabada/Nortje/Ngidi/Shamsi will be a handful in UAE conditions. And batting looks OK atm. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 SA ko panauti lagane ki kya zarurat hai, wc men unka choke pakka hai. The only chance Sa has is if they come against another choker and thats kohli Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Shamsi has improved remarkabley, linde giving good support Rabada is bowling half heartedly Norje is good but he aint rabada They need to find a way to fit in malan How is morris not in this team is beyond me. Ngidi works if it grips or else he ll travel, better get that marco jensen for other days. Link to comment
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) It ll be either England or nz ( but if it slows down pak n sl can spoil either of their party ) Wi - had it been india they may have but they have some issues with bowling n getting stuck on guys like bravo n gayle. Also where is hayden walsh? Still they ll be my 3rd pick Edited July 4, 2021 by Ankit_sharma03 Link to comment

Australia is Australia, never write them off. Even if they don't win they can prevent NZ/WI from qualifying to SF. Pak is a dark horse, UAE conditions will suit them to a T since they are pretty good when avg innings scores are in 150-170 range. For those pitches they have 2-3 elite match-winners, watch out for Imad Wasim as well, most underrated T20 bowler. Afghans, Bangladeshis will enjoy the conditions with their array of spinners, can cause major upsets in the pool stage. Only SL looks toothless atm. Edited July 4, 2021 by Gollum Link to comment

Warner is on a decline, he has been looking in srs trouble against high pace . Finch captaincy also doesnt inspire confidence. But yea u cant take them lightly. They may get faulkner back, he picked a lot of wkts in PSL. Also maxwell has been in great form. Yea this will be the most open t20 wc . With the new set of players NZ have found it can be them . 7 minutes ago, Gollum said: Pak is a dark horse, UAE conditions will suit them to a T since they are pretty good when avg innings scores are in 150-170 range.

Usman qadir is a very good addition . Hasan ali looks to have found his old form, also very handy lower order bat Shaheen is their x factor Rauf is well suited for t20 Rizwan , babar, hafeez n faheem have given them conaistency Ind, eng, nz high chance will be top 3 unless in same group but its the 4th position that will have a battle.

Aren't groups are already known? Last I read: WI, NZ, Aus, Pak (group of death) Eng, Ind, RSA, Afg Both groups to get 2 qualifiers each....among SL, BD, Ire etc. Link to comment

If they can get Amir back, will be even more impressive. On those pitches cos of his cutters, only 4 overs/match, clutchness etc Amir can become a big factor. Link to comment

If pitches slow down n it becomes 140-160 kind of tournament they are in it big time. Ipl will happen then WC ,lets see how pitches hold up. Gollum 1 Link to comment
Gollum Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 People do like to moan about lack of depth in men's cricket, erstwhile powerhouses declining yada yada. But this will be an open WC, we are in for a treat. Sgattick10 1 Link to comment

Vickydev Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I expected them to knock us out of the group stages if last year's WT20 had gone ahead in Australia, but seeing as this year it will be at UAE, I cant see them making it past us and Eng. Link to comment
