I think NZ can if they have luck on their side on that very day.Dont think windies and others can really beat india, eng can come close but will end up getting beaten.
 
We've never beaten India in a World Cup where it matters so I don't see that happening again unless we bat first and post 370!
I don't see that happening too because Imam and Fakhar may click but none of them seem to stay and play a big knock.
We don't have players who can take apart any bowler. Asif Ali maybe and Hafeez but again they are cameo players.

England is the best team to stop India they can post big and chase big too plus they can encounter bouncers and short pitches and Archer can run riot through the Indian line up.
 
England can stop them. They have the batting to combat India's bowling threat- Root, Morgan and Buttler all play spin well. In a world cup game though the pressure could get to them but they certainly have the skill set to tackle India.
 
I see Australia and England can defeat india.
Remaining teams it is purely luck for that day.
 
Pressure can do funny things. I reckon any team who can out India under pressure will fancy their chance. Pakistan game comes with its own pressure to begin with on top of that if they loose early wickets I think team will be under great pressure and could possibly crumble.

The real battle in this match is Pak’s batting vs Ind’s bowling. Can Pak read Bumrah/Kul-Cha?

Pak batsmen coming down the ground and getting stumped out against the spinners is what I fear.

The real battle is Pak's bowling vs Ind's top 3. You let them score big and the match may very well have been lost already.
 
I expected Australia, England & New Zealand to do it. Since, India already had a better of Australia I still hope England and New Zealand to give a tough fight to India.

Pakistan on the day can beat any team as we know so I back Pakistan to have that when everything aligns for them and beat India.
 
To win against England, we need to show peak batting bowling and fielding.

England 🇬🇧 is upper hand now.

We don't have best playing 11 fielders.

Against Australia, though fielding was good but still there is need for improvement.

Many of the direct throws were missed. Exceptional fielding change the match direction.
 
Pakistan are bigger than australia in cricket
Much bigger
How are they much bigger than Aus in cricket? Aus won 5 WC’s Pak won 1. In terms of fanbase, Cricket popularity Pak, BD, SL are bigger than Australia and no one should even doubt that. But purely Cricket wise, come on bruh.. Australia are the best cricket side in the history of cricket. No one will ever win 3 WC consecutively, ever!

Pakistan have worth of $55 and Australia- $24

It’s why so many Australians love the IPL
 
I would say England! New Zealand game gone, Australia beaten, others - no chance!

Quantifying Pakistan's bigness over Australia will be a disservice to the game and the humanity.

Pakistan is too big, huge or massive if you will to be associated with Australia.
 
Who can stop India from winning the World Cup 2019?

I don't think any cricketing team in the world can stop India from winning the tournament. The top 3 is by far the strongest any team has and the bowling is right up there with the best as well.

The presence of Dhoni in the middle adds extra points to the team.

Discuss!
 
England, NZ or Australia if they come up against them in the semis. Early wickets could damage their batting prospects.
 
England and Australia will give them a good challenge and will be the teams to beat in Final or Semi's
 
Bhaiyo shant ho jao.

There is a match which is well and alive. Les give Pakistan respect while the my chase before opening such discussions.

No points for accepting India was already a quality team going into the tournament. We haven’t proved anything the World didn’t already know about us.

The question marks were always on he middle order and the middle order has not been required to rescue us yet rather they let us down today itself.
 
Injuries, actually!

Dhawan down
Bhuvaneshwar down

With a depleted pace attach, we are already looking vulnerable against Pakistan for a moment here

Bhaijaan,

India should not just aim but humiliate opposition during the World Cup and win comprehensively. There should be no stopping from the trophy for the men in blue.

Thank & Regards
 
England, NZ and Australia. I realise India defeated the Aussies but the latter is fully capable of turning around that result.
 
Tbh India are looking unstoppable

Only injuries are in the way to the trophy
 
Indian middle order still has issues. There is bound to be a match where top order fails and middle order is exposed and we lose badly. Hopefully for us it doesn't come in knockouts
 
Stop jinxing man, without Dhawan it looks not possible , AUS has a good chance..
 
I don't think any cricketing team in the world can stop India from winning the tournament.
One of the top 3 would have to fire in every game. It can happen, but it's difficult. Remember, we've been in 4 ICC tournament knockouts since 2013 and haven't gone on to win a single one.

2013- India won
2015- Semi final(lost to the champions)
2016- Semi final(lost to the champions)
2017- Final(lost to the champions)
2019-

So, 3 Knockouts..
 
I think semi finalists will be:-

India
England
Australia
New Zealand

So, India vs NZ- Winner India
Eng vs Aus-Winner Eng

Final- Ind vs Eng

It's not really "every game" but just two matches, the semis and the final.
 
With Shankar , Dhoni & Jadhav at 4, 5 & 6 , there is no way India is winning the WC .
 
2013- India won
2015- Semi final(lost to the champions)
2016- Semi final(lost to the champions)
2017- Final(lost to the champions)
2019-

So, 3 Knockouts..

2014 WT20 final - India lost to Sri Lanka
 
I think semi finalists will be:-

India
England
Australia
New Zealand

So, India vs NZ- Winner India
Eng vs Aus-Winner Eng

Final- Ind vs Eng

Final will be India vs England/Australia

My money is on Australia. I don't think England can handle the pressure of KOs.
 
India has to play near perfectly to sustain this. Basically top 3 have to keep on clicking. But to win world cup bowling has to step up big time.
 
Vijay Shankar is a liability with both bat and ball,1 wicket yesterdya not withstanding
He will be smashed by England and Australia and does not have the big hitting ability
 
With Shankar , Dhoni & Jadhav at 4, 5 & 6 , there is no way India is winning the WC .

If Dhawan is ready during semi finals, I guess Rahul will move to 4th. If Rahul and Pandya stand up, middle order issue will be sorted to some extension.
 
2014 WT20 final - India lost to Sri Lanka

Ok, forgot this! But in WC 15, Aus were favourites and here, Aus are probably third favourites (India a bigger threat this time).

I don’t understand why PPers are underestimating New Zealand. They have the potential to play finals

NZ might make it to the final. I'm not counting them out. They are a very good team and in my opinion, the most well-rounded bowling side after India.

I just feel Australia, India and England are more likely to get there.
 
Australia and NZ are India’s biggest challenges.

I am confident we will crush England.
 
Aus , NZ and Eng in that order
India are making semis. From there on, it is anybody’s game. Each of the teams can beat the other 3
 
Indian batting without Kohli and Rohit is worse than Nepal also. Why are you hyping this Indian team so much? They won't win world cup, pathetic team selection

Whom should have we selected? Even the hyped-up IPL ‘shooper-shtars’ struggled to get the ball away. :D

After 2017 we had 2 years to groom players for world cup. Everyone knew dhoni, jadhav, kartick, rayudu etc won't win us the world cup but we stuck with them.

2 years we could have groomed youngsters to be ready for world cup.

This is the worst batting display in world cup so far. I would say it's worse than Pakistan's display against WI. Atleast bowling was top notch in that game this game it was just so pathetic batting I can't describe
 
I think India will lose in semi-final. Only reason they are winning so much is due to their two great spinners.
 
Apparently Afghanistan - who would've thought?:ghalib

This Indian team is bowling strong team For the first time in Indian history of world cups they go in with their bowling look better than batting. Batting is a bonus.
 
Dhoni will lose it for us with his ultra conservative approach if we lose wickets early.

Jadhav is much better for us at No.4. He play smart and with good strike rate ( unlike Dhoni). Also Shankar also needs to go if he don't play at 4.

Ideal team for us

Rohit
Rahul
Virat
Kedar
Dhoni
Pant
Pandya
Kuldeep
Chahal
Bumrah
Bhuvi/Shami
 
Indian team's hubris hit them where they never expected. Kohli is a poor tactician and captain. Had it not for Dhoni, Afghanistan would have walked over Kholi's team.
 
bowlers are wining the matches for india,apart from kohli,rohit middle order is fragile,i want to see this team in chasing the match when the opposition scores above 250
 
they deserve CRICKET WORLD CUP 2019


Batting Bowling and Fielding :14:


july 14 2019 INDIA CRICKET WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS :vk2
 
Only Pakistan’s ‘Jazba Junoon’ can stop them. If 1992 trend continues then I think this will be the first time Pakistan will beat India in WC, Sarfraz will be bigger than Imran Khan.
