The 2007 Cricket World Cup is scheduled to start in less than a month and before it gets underway, I thought I'd make some predictions on the matches and which team will finally lift the cup. Here are the groups -
Group A - Australia, South Africa, Scotland and Netherlands (Holland)
Group B - Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh and Bermuda
Group C - New Zealand, England, Kenya and Canada
Group D - Pakistan, Zimbabwe, West Indies and Ireland
Each team will play one match within their group and the top two teams in each group will advance to the Super 8 stage. There are 24 matches in this stage. My predictions about the teams that will reach the Super 8 stage of the 2007 cricket world cup are -
Group A - South Africa and Australia
Group B - India and Sri Lanka
Group C - New Zealand and England
Group D - West Indies and Pakistan
In the Super 8 stage, each team will have to play 6 matches against the teams that reached the Super 8 stage from other groups. They don't have to play the team from their own group. Here too there are 24 matches. The top four teams will reach the semi finals. My predictions about the teams which will be in the semi finals of the cricket world cup are -
1. South Africa
2. India/Australia
3. New Zealand ( will get through after narrowly defeating the hosts West Indies)
4. West Indies
Semi Finals will be between -
South Africa and West Indies - won by South Africa
India and New Zealand - won by India
Finals will be between South Africa and India - either can win since they have good teams and hav'nt won the World Cup for a long time. My heart says India will win but my brain says South Africa. My final prediction for the Cricket World Cup - India !So, who do you think will win ?

I doubt whether India could come till semi-finals. I feel that there is something lacking. Is it the killer instinct?
ReplyDeleteWhy? Australia, of course!
ReplyDeleteu have high hopes and so do the crores of INDIANS.........
ReplyDeletebut just to remind something that really works.........
"hope for the best but always prepare for the worst"..........
i hope it is not just another nightmare.......
ur post was good
Hey..
ReplyDeleteExcellent post. I will be supporting India all the way till the end. But my predictions differ. The following teams will make it to the semi-finals:
-Australia
-Srilanka
-South Africa
-West Indies
I believe India and New Zealand will be giving tough competition to West Indies for the last spot.
The final will be between Srilanka and Australia. I reckon AUSTRALIA will win.
May the best team win.
1 Australia
ReplyDelete2 India
3 West Indies
4 It could be England/South Africa

3.Sauth africa

hello, I ve got the only blog in frenach language (cricket.over-blog.com) and I think India will make a good competition but South Africa will win
ReplyDeleteIndia????
ReplyDeleteHow can we Indians be so optimistic? I should rather use the phrase oblivious to the facts!
Before the campaign started, the Indian team was rated 6 or 7 (I am not sure which) in the world.
Now if you expect such a team to be the worldbeaters, you've got to be extremely optimistic or totally unexposed to the facts.
Which one are you? ;-)
