2023 ICC Cricket World Cup

The 2023 Cricket World Cup has come with a lot of expectations, many experts are claiming vehemently that ODI cricket is on its last leg, and thus there is a mammoth responsibility on all the teams to help ODI cricket from going to ashes. All the teams are geared up, especially the Netherlands, against all odds fought to the nail defeated westendies, and cruised into the World Cup. When it comes to the World Cup no team is a minnow, over the years we have seen some unbelievable upsets. The teams from the subcontinent like Sri Lanka Bangladesh and Afghanistan would be eager to go in friendly conditions, even though these teams are slow-moving in world cricket we cannot write them off. Pakistan has great experience in the World Cups, they are always a roadblock for every team and the reason behind this is that they know how to step up in big games, the best example is a match against England in the previous World Cup, nobody thought that they would beat England but they did so, all said and done Pakistan is the most unpredictable side, they always come with a surprise element. Australia and England are considered to be the favorites to win the trophy and they are in the talk, England is the defending champion, and all the eyes are on them, the brand of cricket that they are playing and the balance that England has is just stupendous term "Bazz ball " is coined after their style of play since 2015 world cup. Australia is all set too, the 5 times world champions are like sharps who are ready to pounce, and the depth in their lineup makes them dangerous who else than Australia knows how to win the World Cup, the undisputed monarch of the cricketing world. New Zealand has developed the habit of reaching the semi-finals, after an unlucky outing in the previous edition of the World Cup, they must be optimistic about going a step forward this time around. The greatest thing about the Kiwis is that they have never been a team full of stars but black caps know how to bring the best out of them with limited resources. South Africa can prove to be a dark horse, nobody is talking about Africa being a winner but you never know with this World Cup, they are in form after bagging a series win against the Australians, and last but not least the home team India with the sweetest of memories in 2011 and a legacy that we have of winning the world cup at home should be continued, it's been a long time since we have won an ICC event the drought of trophies should come to an end win world cup win at home
