ODI 2023 WC Predictions

[cricketfan28]

Should make it to semis, after that we might need luck.

[Lone Wolf]

Round robin format suits us a bit...  But that Pakistan game in Ahmedabad will be tricky.  Pakistan will have a better spin & pace attack than us with their skiddy pacers. 

Shadab & Nawaz could very well choke likes of Coolie Sharma Hahul Pandu

[Austin 3:!6]

India should play this team:

 

Rohit(c)

Jaiswal

Gill

Kohli

Sky/Shreyas

KL (wk)

Pandya/Axar/Washington/Jadeja (depend on pitch)

Chahal

Shami

Siraj

3rd Seamer/Spinner (depend on pitch)

Chahal 

 

What do people even see in that joker?

 

If we really end up playing Chahal over Kuldeep and Bishnoi, who are better than him in all three departments, I might end up supporting Bangladesh.

@Austin 3:!6 apart from Chahal, i actually like your team. Jaiswal can fill in the 6th bowler quota like Yuvi did in 2011. Batting looks pretty strong but instead of KL , I'd have an X factor player like Kishan to add a different dimension to the team...

 

We already have enough consolidators in Rohit, Kohli, Iyer, Gill...even Pandya is a pretty good consolidator these days. Kishan has the potential to really work wonders in a lineup like ours in Pant's absence.

I expect SFs to be 4 out of the following 6 if schedule permits: Eng, Pak, Aus, NZ [even though they are down-and-out, they will drag themselves to SFs], SL, Ind

Ind plays Aus, AFG, & Pak in its first 3 games. If it loses 2 of those, it could get in a difficult situation where one more loss to a major team could knock it out.

indeed, 1st round defeat is most likely. SF is the max they can do
