All teams are preparing for the upcoming mega event to be held in June. It will be the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA and the West Indies, which will start on June 6. After the ODI World Cup 2023, the focus of the teams has shifted to the T20 World Cup.
This time it will be even more competitive, as a total of 20 teams will take part in the tournament. Four groups will be divided into five teams each. India and Pakistan are slotted in the same group, and we will have another IND-PAK high-voltage clash.
England will defend their title and will look to do it well this time around. However, there will be some other teams that will be looking to win the tournament, and it is expected to be a tough competition. Former English captain Naseer Hussain has predicted the winner of the T20 World Cup 2024.
In a recent interaction, Naseer picked South Africa and last edition’s runners-up, Pakistan, as two tough teams. However, he also said that England, which have struggled recently, will hopefully defend their title. He predicts a final between South Africa and England.
Naseer said, “I am going to go with South Africa. It is in the Caribbean and the West Indies are going well, then you have Pakistan, so can I choose all of these sides?” The former English captain said that the SA20 has helped South Africa find new talent.
Then, the likes of Anrich Nortje and Sisanda Magala will also be recovering from injuries, which will strengthen their bowling attack more. Furthermore, Naseer also picked Suryakumar Yadav to be the player to watch out for.
He said that some of the shots SKY plays are unbelievable. He said that irrespective of his ODI numbers, Suryakumar knows what to do in T20 cricket, which is why he is the No. 1 ranked batter in this format.
