Nasser Hussain projects the winner and player of the T20 World Cup in 2024.

The T20 World Cup is expected to take center stage in cricket in 2024, marking a considerable shift from the ODI emphasis of the previous year. It is tentatively set to take place in the colorful landscapes of the USA and the West Indies from June 4 to June 30, according to the ICC. Former England captain Nasser Hussain has made some bold predictions about the winners and finalists, even though the precise roster for the match is yet unknown.

Nasser Hussain predicted England would qualify for the final, highlighting their recent troubles in white-ball cricket. Still, he expected them to come in second this time around, even if they were the reigning champions. His biased focus rested on South Africa, as he predicted them to be the front-runners to win their first World Cup championship ever. In the last tournament, England defeated Pakistan in a thrilling finale to secure the win.

In all honesty, I haven’t given this much thought, but I’m going with South Africa. Despite not playing so well right now, England are the reigning champions. Can I pick any side I want? It’s in the Caribbean; the West Indies are doing well; and then there’s Pakistan. In the final, I’m going to support South Africa against England,” Hussain declared, as cited by the ICC.

Right now in T20, SKY is the player everyone should be on the lookout for. Nasser Hussain

South Africa will be well-positioned to compete for Player of the Tournament in the 2019 T20 World Cup thanks to sides that have outstanding white-ball talent, but the cricketer, who is now a broadcaster, thinks otherwise. On the other hand, Hussain selects Suryakumar Yadav, the top-ranked T20I batter in India, to add to his already remarkable record and win the coveted award.

“In the T20 league right now, Suryakumar Yadav is the player everyone should be keeping an eye on. The guy is really strange. To use the cliché of Mr. 360, but some of the strokes he plays…and he is a little of a freak because he is unsure of what to do or when to go in fifty-over cricket. Hussain continued, “But when it comes to T20 cricket, he nearly always understands exactly what to do. It’s a wonderful game, and watching Sky is really entertaining.
