3 tough group games there in the group stages.

I think it will be a battle to get through against the might of Oman, Scotland and Namibia.

I think we will breeze through the Poms though.

Semi finalists: England, India, Windies, Australia.

I'm tipping the Windies to take the title.

Whose in the Saffas Squad

$7.50 seems small for a bunch of chokers who never win anything on the world stage.

Considering 3 of the top 6 teams are known choke artists they’ve got to be in with half a shout. Will just make it all the more hilarious when they lose and spout tripe in their press conferences.

I think India win tbh. As much as I hate to say it. I'd love to see another choke but I think coming straight out of the IPL is a big advantage (an advantage to India in a world trophy? How unusual...) and they're also dumb enough to see this as making up for the ODI WC...

Last time they came straight out of the IPL into a T20WC was 2021 they didn't make the semis were basically knocked out after 2 games.

They will be thereabouts but every WC they don't win the pressure builds on them.

England are the defending champs.

Pakistan at $11 is decent value because they always surprise when you least expect them.

They can quite easily beat anyone and lose to anyone on any given game.

Though most of us dont watch it and make fun of it, The IPL would generate huge pressure for Indian players to perform, massive. Cant help to think the IPL is their WC and they are mentally toast afterwards?

Though it sounds silly, Gambhir is probably talking facts. Once again the pressure to perform, it generates huge coin
