Topic: 2019 Cricket World Cup - Discussion & Analysis - page 59. (Read 8142 times)

It is always good to have separate topic for every tournament and for tour matches. In the past, some people have tried to have separate topic for IPL and few other things, but most people prefer to contribute with same aged cricket topic. I really could not understand their reasons. It seems like they prefer to have one topic for one sport.

I am just curious to know this community's opinion on : Who will be the predicted winner of final match and who are the favorites to play that final match ? I guess India and England may meet for the title, the top 2 countries of ICC ODI ranking.

We're getting closer to the long-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, and I think that it deserves a separate thread for discussion & analysis, so let's have it!

First match/final match: 30 May/14 July

The way he speaks in the article it feels like he already believes England will win the cup, though England is my first choice i will carefully study any injuries their players may have. I also feel other teams are not in great form going into this World Cup, and will be exhausted as many will come from playing IPL. The Indian team that is the strongest will not be fit, as playing in IPL will surely effect them, and I believe non IPL players have a edge in the cup.

Just a glimpse on their last 5 matches.

“South Africa must be my favourites but if you ask me who can win it then it is anybody’s game. If England do not win at home, the No 1 team in the world right now, they’ll never win it,” he said in an interview to India Today.
