The ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is just a few games away from the semi-finals. A few teams have shown great performances and are sitting at the top of the table. India and South Africa are the two teams that have looked pretty good and are at the top of the table.
India has won all six of its games and has 12 points. On the other hand, South Africa has won five matches and has 10 points on the board. These two teams are looking pretty good to make it to the knockout stage. However, a few other teams have also shown their A game.
New Zealand and Australia are also looking good. However, according to former South African star Jacques Kallis, there are two teams that are strong contenders to play in the final of the World Cup 2023. Kallis is one of the best players in the history of the game and has a deep knowledge of it.
His insights and views have always been tactical and reflect many practical facts. In his latest interview, Kallis said that Australia is looking very dangerous after the first two defeats and has bounced back well.
However, he picked India and South Africa as his two teams to play in the final of the tournament. Kallis said, “I feel it will be an India vs South Africa final.” He also said that India is looking good to win the title, but they will be under pressure in the knockout stage because it will be a new start for every team.
The former all-rounder also reckons that Australia can give these two teams a good fight because they have the experience of winning knockout games. Notably, India and South Africa have a history of choking in knockout games, while Australia has great records in such games, which is why they are the five-time champions.
