The world cup kicks off this Thursday with the repeat of the great "Barest margin" world cup final with England taking on NZ.
India are the sole hosts this time. Expect flat tracks early on and 350 may be needed on small grounds. As the tournament progresses wickets will start to spin.
India are the bookies favourites to repeat what they did at home in 2011. Last 3 winners have been the host so makes sense.
I like this format where everyone plays everyone and the top 4 reach the semis. What are your early tournament predictions?

Pinefresh that doesn't change that Modi is a criminal.

No evidence against him in the supreme courts of India. Your opinion does not make him a criminal.

Supreme courts verdict is bought and tarnished due to bribes under the table to get a favourable verdict.Politicians are all corrupt everywhere though and most are traitors who are actually white collar and prestigious thieves.
