The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 is ready to end after the grand finale between three-time IPL winners Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday (May 12). After realizing that it is arguably the world’s largest T20 league, the focal point will shift towards the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, scheduled to begin from May 30 onwards in England and Wales. Before the quadrennial event, former England captain Nasser Hussain picked his four favorites to raise the 2019 World Cup, and the picks would possibly be a surprise to many.
Hussain has not picked Australia or South Africa in his top 4 probables to raise the coveted trophy while naming India and England as the two warm-favowarm favorites at the showpiece event. Besides the hosts and Men in Blue, Hussain decided on New Zealand and Pakistan as he reckoned that both could wonder people unpredictably. Speaking on the ICC Cricket World Cup Preview display on Sky Sports, Hussain stated: ‘You look at India, they travel so properly. They’re in the mix. ‘There’s a strain on England at domestic, but they are a splendid facet. And I think New Zealand and Pakistan can make each other wonder human beings. I’m going with that 4,’ the previous England skipper introduced.
While England, Pakistan, Australia, and New Zealand have already begun arranging the quadrennial event, most World Cup-bound Indian gamers are still plying trades in IPL 2019.
Being the hosts, England is termed the favorites, and the Eoin, Morgan-led outfit has done continuously within the 50-over layout following their disastrous day in the 2015 World Cup. They move into the World Cup being ranked the No. 1 ODI side and will be keen to win their maiden name.
The 2019 World Cup is scheduled to begin on May 30, with England taking up South Africa at Kennington Oval, London. Two thousand-eleven brings the Cricket World Cup to you, the biggest one-day cricket tournament for some time. It does not matter how many other cricket tournaments are around the corner, including the Twenty Twenty IPL tournament. Still, the World Cup is a different ball game with intense emotions and a sense of patriotism in every match and every cricket fan’s heart. If we ask fans from each country, “Who will win Cricket World Cup 2011?
The response would be the wish and hope that their country wins. This cricket World Cup is exceptional for several reasons. One is that it is played in the subcontinent, where players are gods and stadiums are battlefields.
The love and passion found in the subcontinent cannot be seen anywhere globally. Two, subcontinent pitches are high-scoring; add to this the small size of the stadiums, and you may expect more sixes and fours hit in this World Cup than in any past cricket World Cup. Third, the majority of teams are in great form.
You can not name a team not expected to give more than 100 percent in this tournament. We do not know who will win this year’s Cricket World Cup, but I have made a few tarot cards and cartomancy predictions about the expected performances of the teams involved in this Cricket World Cup 2011.
