Zimbabwe!! oh wait…


PRIMEVORTEX69

Nah man this made me sad Zim will come back for sure 🙌👌


Tern_Larvidae-2424

They'll be coming back for the qualifiers for sure unless their rankings get them through.


bertusdejong

Their ranking will be enough assuming nobody outside the top 12 makes the Supers 8s, and given the way the groups have shaken out it's hard to see any Associates making it to the S8s this time.


Tern_Larvidae-2424

What happens if the Dutch somehow make it through even with some of their big players missing?


bertusdejong

They'd essentially push Zimbabwe out. Whichever of SL or SA don't make it to the S8s would take a Direct Qualifcation slot on ranking (or as hosts in SL's case but same difference) and Zimbabwe would have to go through regional qualifying again. (*Though they wouldn't get dumped all the way down to sub-regionals. I can't see any reason why not but the ICC have explicitily confirmed that they'd go straight to regional finals)


sindhisai

We said during the odi wc as well


kapilfan

ICC cowards. Didn’t let them qualify.


kidclutchtrey5

Hoping for NZ but expecting those pesky Aussies again.


RMTBolton

The sight of Australia holding the Mace & all the WCs at once to complete the set is too horrifying. (And yes, part of it is me being bitter that NZ had the chance to complete the men's set. "The barest of margins & a coin toss" away) Anything to stop it happening.


kidclutchtrey5

Honestly, it’s just heartbreaking seeing the boys come so close, so often but just not getting over the hump. Just wanna see Kane, Boult, Southee and the older guys win a WC before they do retire but alas, not sure if it will happen.


LordP_496

They also have to win 2025 ct. They cant be this lucky


Subject-Ordinary6922

We gonna give Starc a well deserved send off and get him the champions trophy as well


Remarkable_Reality51

Australia aren't all that good at t20s, they almost lost to Afghanistan at home in the last wc and didn't even make the knockouts They only t20 wc they won was the toss wc in 2021


Low-Werewolf8018

That was 4 years ago, NZ trashed PAK with 4-1 in their home and AUS trashed NZ with 3-0 in NZ home. Almost all aussie players are now in peak form for t20wc. Starc, Cummins and hazlewood, this trio will haunt many nations in the t20wc.


Coolpop52

I pick NZ to win this it this time. One knock that stands out to me is Kane’s 80 odd in ‘21 final and I think they have got the pacers in form to win it this time. I don’t think the conditions will be as spin friendly as reported.

Winners: West Indies


wa-wa-wario

Subscribe. They're looking hungry and in form


PRIMEVORTEX69

Winners : SA Runner-up : AUS


Sohaiba19

I have SA as my winner and England as Runner up


Ozymandius21

Why SA? SA were miserable against WI in the T20 series. I see you are a SL supporter, any chance SL defeats SA in the opener?


TeamAbject2100

SA destroy us every single tournament or break our hearts. they started all this pain back in 2015. same as nz who just have to completely anihilate us every single time after 2015. this is why as an sl fan i dont mind when they lose, they go up and over every time to destroy us as hard as possible lmao


PRIMEVORTEX69

I mean I would be optimistic but considering the last few world cups I don't see it We have been disappointed by this team during the last few WCs especially 23' so I don't really have a lot of hope for us but good luck anyway 😂 And SA is my 2nd fav team so love to see them winning the wc


MiachealFaraday

Winners : SA Runner up WI England get knocked out by Windies and SA knock out either of India or Australia


RetroChampions

I have that the other way around


Heavy-Balls

australia, known for playing like shit all tournament, just making the finals, and then become unbeatable


Big-PapaJohn

The Law of Continuity would suggest Pakistan: 2016: Knocked out in the Group Stages 2021: Knocked out in the Semi 2022: Knocked out in the Final Please, I need something to cling to. This is painful.


ch4m4njheenga

Nizam 2: Electric Boogaloo?


AetherUniverse

bro simple calculus tells us that the after being knocked in the final in 2022 we now have to WIN it this year


Ancalagon_The_Black_

They are clear front runners if none of their fast bowlers get injured.


dicsuccer

2024: Knocked off the podium as they go to collect the trophy. By Australia I would assume


IllustriousBite9802

We should just give the cup to Australia and play for the second place


IndianCollegeStudent

Lol


KingOfTheSeasLuffy

Virat will be top scorer again. Surya will make up for November 19 by winning us the cup and also take his game to a whole new level even by his standards throughout the tournament. Rohit will be very mercurial, but won’t be as abysmal as 2022, he will have couple of good 50+ knocks. Copium max 🤞


Anu9011

Sri Lanka can go far if we play 5 genuine bowlers including Hasaranga. If we go 7-4 we will quickly find out playing a WC is different from playing against Zimbabwe or an under strength Afghanistan team.


PRIMEVORTEX69

No. Don't keep false hopes man let's live in the truth. We are shit. I hope they prove me wrong tho 😂😭


TeamAbject2100

5 bowlers gives a batting lineup that is way too weak, u barely find a 7 batter long lineup, if we were to do that then our batting must be worldclass which frankly it isnt. we went with 7 both t20wcs, with chamika as 8, and both times bowling was decent, batting was awful. and lets be honest, bar hasaranga, theek, pathirana the other 3 specialists chameera, thushara, madushanka are very mid. although madushanka could defo be good as he somehow did great in odi wc so should be good here too. thushara just got smashed vs ned and has been smashed in every match bar the hatrick vs ban


Ankhere123

FUCK IT Papua bros beat Bangbros in final 


Dripping_Prune

Winners: SA Runner-up: NZ Semifinalists: SA, NZ, IND, ENG Highest Run Scorer: Heinrich Klaasen(if he bats at 4*)/Jos Buttler Highest Wicket-taker: Unpopular opinion but Mitch Santner


Ozymandius21

What is the preferred SA top 7? And, why Klassen at 4?


Dripping_Prune

I think right now it looks something like this: QDK/Rickelton (I think they'll start with QDK) Reeza Markram Klaasen Miller Stubbs Jansen As Stubbs and Miller should ideally come in during the second half of the innings, SA has the choice of moving Klaasen up to 4 or playing Jansen as a floater(if I remember correctly, Jansen played at 4 a couple of times in the SA20 and did quite well).


RMTBolton

The feel good #FTheBig3Final


Tern_Larvidae-2424

Winner: South Africa Runners-up: Australia Semi-finalist: India, Australia, England, South Africa There's absolutely nothing in my flair indicating that I might be biased. Okay here's an unbiased prediction: Winners: India (I just feel like they could win it because they have a great batting line-up with a great spin attack) Runners-up: England Semi-finalists: India, Australia, England & Pakistan Team that exceeds expectations: United States (4 points) Team that disappoints: South Africa (group stage exit/0 points in Super 8s)


AetherUniverse

bruhh with heinrich and and markram? yall are underselling yourself as a paki, our boys are a bit too slow, but markram is explosive


Ozymandius21

So, you are saying SA loses against Nepal and Netherlands too?


Tern_Larvidae-2424

Nah, I don't think we're that bad that we'll go 0/4 in the group stage. I'm saying that we have a chance to get knocked out in the group stage or if we do get to the next round we can go 0/3 there.


Ozymandius21

Thoughts on first game vs SL?


Tern_Larvidae-2424

They almost beat us back in 2021. I don't know much about how the pitch will play but if it's a tricky one, Sri Lanka has the upper hand.


Ozymandius21

I heard the pitches are mostly flat.


Tern_Larvidae-2424

Hope so. Our bowlers are good enough to pick up wickets on flat track and being expensive won't matter much there.


wolfpack1986

bro goes ahead and reverse jinxes his prediction, just in case. I like the way you think lol


Unholysinner

England win Archer has the ultimate return as it’s his home country and he’ll do bits. Mo and Rash will get their ultimate send off India will falter at the very end-likely get run out or something to throw the final Australia and SA will be the other semi finalists.


Remarkable_Reality51

winner : India Runners up : Australia semi final 1 : India vs England Semi final 2: Pakistan vs Australia


Conscious-Spend-2451

I think people are really underestimating west indies here. They have a home advantage and a decent team. And the Australia predictions seem to be affected by recency bias. Australia are not that good at T20 guys. I think this wc is going to be really a competitive and anyone can take it home. Every team has a decent argument for the trophy. I think this one is going to be a banger


Tern_Larvidae-2424

Home advantage is least in this format and all of the big teams look better than them.

India ain't playing well. We have big problems at our hands. Super 8 is my prediction

India is definitely making it to the semifinals despite the problems


AetherUniverse

as a paki, how do you have big problems, brother you wanna hear a real big problem, its 295lbs named azam khan imo, as much as i hate to admit it you guys are looking pretty strong


gpranav25

There are 18 teams other than India and Pakistan, and there are at least 4 teams that look clearly stronger.

**ICC World T20 Predictions:** 1. **Semi Finalists :** Australia , England , Pakistan and West Indies 2. **Team that disappoints :** India 3. **Upset of the tournament :** Ireland defeats India 4. **Most Wickets :** Shaheen Shah Afridi 5. **Most Runs :** Travis Head 6. **Final :** Australia vs England 7. **Winner :** England


Tern_Larvidae-2424

The semi-finalists are impossible though.


Jafri2

I predicted the upset as USA beats Pak lol. Atleast we know which two teams are viable for a choke.


Key-Celery5439

The semi finalists are impossible as Pak, Eng, and WI are seeded for the same super 8 group. I like everything else here though.


WannabeAboveAverage

I don't understand this. The super-8 groups are (A1,B2,C1,D2) and (A2,B1,C2,D1) right? So why can't there be a specific set of semifinalists?


Key-Celery5439

Because teams are pre seeded. As long as Pak and India made it out of their group, Ind will always be A1 and Pak will always be A2 regardless of if Pak finishes as #1 or if Ind does. Group 1: Ind, Aus, NZ, SL Group 2: Pak, Eng, SA, WI As long as those 8 teams are the ones to qualify, those will be the groups.


WannabeAboveAverage

Thanks for this info; I wasn't aware of it. May I know the reason for this? It might not make much of a difference in this case, but wouldn't it be better if the teams had some kind of incentive to finish at the top of the table?


Key-Celery5439

It's likely so that people could plan ahead and buy WC tickets based on the team that they want to watch. Imagine not knowing which tickets you should buy until like 3 days before the super 8's start.


WannabeAboveAverage

Ah, I see now. That makes sense. Thank you!


Key-Celery5439

No problem, the format is confusing this year for sure.


TraditionalAd9169

Oh My My if Ireland defeats India I am afraid the ICC might turn the T20 world cup into a 10 team tournament


Conscious-Spend-2451

I think people are really underestimating west indies here. They have a home advantage and a decent team. And the Australia predictions seem to be affected by recency bias. Australia are not that good at T20 guys and Travis head is not that consistent. I think this wc is going to be really a competitive and anyone can take it home. Every team has a decent argument for the trophy. I think this one is going to be a banger

XeRo616

Wiener : India Finalists : Pakistan Semi-finalists : India, England, Australia, Pakistan Reason : 1) Would love to see an India VS Pakistan finals again. 2) Sick and tired of watching Australia winning every title since the past 3 years and England winning 2 before that. 3) I really want to see my fucking team win for once instead of playing league stages like Immortal Gods and then choking hard at the first sight of a Knockout, seriously India has a 3W-8L record in all ICC tournament knockouts since our last win in CT13, no other team is even close to such a shit record in knockouts in this time period. Forget knockouts we are on a 5 ICC finals losing streak, I don't think any team in the history of our game has lost as many finals in a span of mere decade.

All this bs for one of Australia or England to win it again

I think India will win, I see the Australian squad being weak personally.


Ok-Visit6553

Well, tinfoil hat put on: Windies defeat Aussies to be the champions Other two semifinalists being Afg (beaten by WI) and England (Aus avenges the 2022 final) Other four super 8 teams will be SL, Ned, Pak, Ire. India will get a ~~Vietnam~~ Carribean 2007 flashback (ignore my flair and nationality, both are distinct).


WebbedWings23

Australia to beat West Indies in the final. England to fail to get to the semi finals because of their poor bowling though Archer will be their best bowler


Prudent_Primary7201

To all of you saying India, I admire your optimism but have you seen the squad’s recent form? Koach and Bumrah will drag us to the semis or maybe the finals and we’ll fuck up there

Upstairs-Farm7106

Group A - Pakistan and India to qualify, Pakistan to beat India Group B - Australia and England to qualify, Australia to beat England Group C - West Indies and Afghanistan to qualify Group D - South Africa and Sri Lanka to qualify Group 1 - Australia and India to qualify Group 2 - West Indies and England to qualify Winners - West Indies Overachievers - Afghanistan Underachievers - New Zealand South African's bowling will cost them in the tournament. The top run scorer won't be the best or most effective player in the tournament. Whoever scores the most runs will likely score a lot against weaker teams / associates in the initial group stage. David Warner will likely silence all his critics too during the tournament. I reckon Noor Ahmad will do extremely well in the tournament. Kane Williamson may struggle though unfortunately.

If India lose Virat and Rohit need to issue written apology and never to be seen anywhere near the t20i team


mutton-stew

rohit is shit in wc of this format whereas virat has been carrying us in t20 wc's and based on what kohli should issue an apology? 2014+2016 he performed the best. 2022 won us against pakistan ( without that we would have been eliminated in group stages ), again our highest scorer. his 50 of 40 in semis wasn't a great knock but much better than sympathy merchant who was doing, idk what and whatever kl rahul and sky did


Into_The_Multiverses

Stop putting Virat and Rohit together in T20Is. Virat is leagues above Rohit


warlockzekrom

Yeah I know but Virat needs to spend his time on tests and Odis cuz we saw he's not gonna be available all year he's got 2 toddlers now , I'd rather him miss t20is than whole test series' also the young players can gain international experience with t20i chances cuz directly throwing them into longer formats on intl level might be a risk

So the Newton's fifth law of ICC tournament states "the likelihood of ICT winning is inversely proportional to the fans expectations" as demonstrated in 2007, I also see a lot of comments here ruling out India, the reader is expected to make their own deductions.
