It is hard to underestimate any team with the momentum Sri Lanka have in the T20 format defeating India and Pakistan convincingly and Australia and New Zealand are not in good form in the T20 format, so you cannot underestimate Sri Lanka with the way they played in the Asia cup even though the matches were played in the UAE, pitches during the Asia cup were helping the fast bowlers .
Agreed. I don't think Sri Lanka is capable of winning the T-20 World Cup, but anything can happen since this is the T-20 format after all. My random prediction is that India/New Zealand will win the cup this time around.

In cricket, when small teams play against big teams, naturally the big teams often win but some times also have to face big disasters. For example, Zimbabwe won a match between Australia and Zimbabwe series a few days ago. However, he probably meant the disaster as an accident.

Former Pakistani players have also criticized this squad. Pakistan's pace bowling side is definitely strong, Shaheen Afridi is fit after injury, which is good news for Pakistan. And pace bowlers will get good advantage in Australian conditions. But the biggest weakness of this Pakistani team is batting. Let's see how they can finish this World Cup mission. But it is understood that this World Cup mission will not be easy for Pakistan.
Yes exactly I am also agreeing with that those fast bowlers can brings more benefits for Australian cricket pitch because for the weather conditions most the pitch are little bit dryer And this is where the fast bowlers will get the benefit as the Pakistan team is used to playing in both weather conditions so I don't think they need to worry too much about the bowling site. But I think they need to rethink their batting line order.This is also why I am surprised to see All 4, Ashwin, Chahal, Deepak Hooda and Axar Patel in the Indian squad, both of them are spin all rounders a better replacement would have been maybe Shardul Thakur who is a pacer and did well in Australia in the previous tour.
I think the key to winning for any team through bowling is going to be having really skilled and fast-paced bowlers in the team who can perform consistently and having effective leg spin bowlers who can take wickets. It goes without saying that batting is the most significant aspect of T20 or any format of cricket now, regardless of the format.
As a matter of fact, I am of the opinion that Pakistan should do some serious work to improve its batting side in the near future. If certain players do not perform well for Pakistan in the batting department, they will not be able to score well. In the same way, Babar Azam was not able to play well in the Asia Cup and Pakistan was suffering when it came to batting in the tournament.
In my opinion, India does not have any kind of problems like that when it comes to the economy.

Pakistan is team where we have many ups and downs with too much criticism from their former players is usual because they have no good set up and selectors are also not coming on merit mostly they have jobs on personal links and likes dislikes just because of these things never been easy for anyone.But, here I have few concerns about Shoaib Malik's absence is surely going to hurt them as he is one of the best player in this format and have enough experience for doing good for them in past having Shah and Iftikhar in place of Imad Wasim and Shoaib Malik is surely a big issue with others mostly are good and can do better, but they will surely miss these players which are handy in batting and bowling as well for them.
Current Asia Cup victory will give Srilanka lots of confidence for the World Cup. Pakistan is also in good form and is also capable of winning the worldcup. Australia right now is not in good form and they are also not good performer in T20. It will be fun to watch.
Pakistan team is not in form their batsmen are struggling which was seen in Asia Cup. Even Pakistan players have struggled a lot in fielding. Sri Lanka is currently the most in-form team among the Asian teams, Sri Lankan players are in great form in every department which has boosted their confidence level even more. I am very hopeful that Sri Lanka will perform well in their matches in the World Cup.

Soo many Qoutes point is lwarn from mistake as many of us underestimated teams as Sri Lanka as AFG but they came up and proved their potential as i always say its not ODI its T20 untill the toss to can't say anything even not until last ball except for some cases. So stay calm and let the teams performance decide we can have a critical talk later the match as then now it will be our right to point out the weakness and Flaws in performance and then we can have good imaginary team as its on cricket board whom let they play.

Although Srilanka performed well in the Asia cup but this does not mean that they will be able to win the T20 World cup too. There will be other teams like England, Australia, NewZealand with whom Srilanka has to compete too. Also, this world cup will be held in Australia where the pitch conditions will be entirely different as compared to the dubai pitches.

On the ground Reality i denyyour fact as i know that thats myth thats very clear that audience Support give energy but the game is based on the performance so assuming that they are playing in hime ground so they can be champion thats like Calculating the Shining Stars.

T20 is unpredictable format and any team can won on the day of match. Srilanka have recently shown some good performances against Pakistan and Australia in test also. For me Srilanka is favorite for this tournament and I am supporting them.

I think Australia is a team capable of playing in any format. They have players of all formats in their team, they just use the timing. Their style of cricket is world class. They hope to do well in the upcoming T20 World Cup. All the players in their team are very responsible.
First of all, Australia is not considered as a top-3 team in any of the formats. The current Australian team is perhaps the weakest they ever had in the history of cricket. And I am not sure which player in the current squad is capable of playing in multiple formats. Smith and Labuschagne struggle in limited overs cricket, while players such as Warner and Finch are very weak in test format. And then there are players such as Travis Head and Nathan Lyon who are not suitable for any of the formats.
I do agree that this Australian is not strong as their previous teams but you are going a bit off road. ATM they are the number 1 team in Tests and they also won the last T-20 WC.
Their White ball ranking might look bad on the points table (mainly because they hardly give any importance to white ball bilateral) but they are a big team in white ball cricket when it comes to ICC tournaments.
Australia is still one of the favorites and I am confident this team will perform differently when they will be playing on their home grounds. It is also not easy to predict a T20 tournament. Who thought that Srilanka would win the Asia cup? Every team preforms completely unexpected when they are playing a T20 tournament.

After seeing this bad performance in Asia cup, BCCI, and BCB did not make any major changes in team selection. After seeing their selection, there was a mixed reaction among the cricket fans. Pakistan's impressive early performance in the Asia Cup didn't explain their weakness, but the last three matches have shown how far behind they are. But they haven't brought much change in this team, which is really disappointing and questionable. I am not happy with the selection of BCCI, PCB, BCB, when they play the World Cup, you will understand how effective these teams are.
In Asia cup the only remarkable performance of Pakistan is victory against India in super 4. Against Afghanistan they were about to lose the game. In both games against Srilanka they failed miserably. Babar Azam captaincy is now being questioned and I am sure he will repeat same mistakes in WC.
There are certainly questions about Babar Azam's captaincy, and his batting failure is an even bigger one. In the Asia Cup, he failed to bat in consecutive matches, and put the team in danger. Rezwan, Iftekhar, Khushdil are not the type of batsmen who can play modern T20I matches. So PCB should look for and give opportunities to young players who can perform well in T20 format.
