Axar will be the key bro . Especially from the end from where Wellagage was bowling from
I am talking about WC. We need to see Gill+Rohit+Kohli firing to win WC. Sadly, thats not happening at the moment. Shardul Thakur will be key to WC, noone else.
Our competition only with Australia, New Zealand And Srilanka. Rest won't be able to compete.
England middle order is weak, Root hasn't scored runs since 2020 in ODI format. Now Malan/Roy is not in form as well. It will add pressure on Bairstow as well. Ben Stokes which is starter in middle order will be just used as a batsman and let's see how he performs. So far not that good. This will put pressure on Buttler and Livingstone. They can not win you matches everytime. Rashid and Moeen has been ineffective since long. Topley, Willey, Curran similar kind of bowlers. Will go for runs.
Pakistan, we have seen what they have done yesterday. They are heavily dependent on Rizwan, Babar and Imam. They have played on flat pitches for so long. Big total can put pressure on them. Middle order is totally weak. Agha(New on Horizon), Chacha+ Shadab+ Faheem. Faheem just returned to ODI set up. No Hasan Ali. Shadab not at it's best in bowling which will reflect in their batting performance as well. Fast bowling won't help them win matches. They should rest the bowlers till WC qualifiers. They needed Mohammad Haris or that pinch hitter at six which is lacking. Iftikhar and Agha playing at wrong positions.
South Africa nothing to talk about. This team is no match to Smith, ABD, Amla, Kallis, Faf, Steyn, Morkel. That was some serious stuff. Rabada, Ngidi, Nortje seems overrated. Coetzee just made debut few months back got WC ticket. De Cock+Markram hasn't performed since years. Bavuma is just injury prone and should not have made captain in first place. When top order is so weak, you cannot expect them to win WC.
