Anderson The ODI World Cup 2023 is already in full swing, and while the various teams compete in the main event, a number of fans and analysts have predicted the four semi-finalists that will face off.
The four teams that many legends believe will advance to the knockout stages of the major competition in 2023 were identified by Dale Steyn, Sachin Tendulkar, and others on stage.
James Anderson, a seasoned English pacer, was added to the list and listed the four teams he believes will fare well in the competition. Anderson mentioned countries like Australia, England, South Africa, and India. He also predicted that England will defeat India in a close final.
England, India, Australia, and South Africa are the semi-finalists. In their series against Australia, South Africa did a good job of turning things around. They have good choices with the ball and great batting. Both Pakistan and New Zealand will be in the running, but neither will succeed. In a close final, I can see England defeating India, James Anderson told BBC Test Match Special.
England aims to atone for their season-opening defeat.
The season opening of the World Cup took place on October 5 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, India, and featured England taking versus the Tom Latham-led New Zealand team. Despite putting forth a lackluster performance, the team still managed to score 282 runs thanks to tenacious innings from Joe Root and Jos Buttler.
Rachin Ravindra and Devon Conway, who both scored brilliant hundreds, enabled New Zealand to win sensationally by nine wickets when the Black Caps lowered their bats to pursue the goal. On Tuesday, October 10, England will play Bangladesh at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, and they will be motivated to deliver a stronger performance.
