Who will win the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023?
From now on it is a critical phase of the Cricket World Cup 2023, so far all teams completed 4 matches each, and 5 matches more are pending for each team, as of today the top 4 teams are New Zealand, India, South Africa, and Australia.
New Zealand though number 1 at this time on the points table, The next 4 are matches are very difficult matches.
It looks like the 4th sport can toggle around Australia, England, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, let’s see who had more chances of getting the 4th spot and getting into the semi-final, and probably the answer to the question of who will win the World Cup.
Australia’s remaining 5 matches are against the Netherlands, New Zealand, England, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, we assume Australia will win against 4 teams, and reach 12 points.
Overall, Australia’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are good. They have a strong team and a good record against the other teams in their group.
Based on their current form and the difficulty of their remaining fixtures, I would estimate that Australia’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are around 70-80%.
England’s remaining 5 matches are against Sri Lanka, India, Australia, Netherlands, and Pakistan.
In order to qualify for the semi-finals, England will need to win all of their remaining matches. This would give them 12 points, which would be enough to put them in contention for a top-four spot.
However, England’s remaining fixtures are against some of the strongest teams in the tournament. They will face Sri Lanka, India, Australia, the Netherlands, and Pakistan.
If England can pull off some upsets and win all of their remaining matches, they will have a chance of reaching the semi-finals. However, their chances are slim, and they will need to play at their best in order to achieve this goal.
Based on their current form and the difficulty of their remaining fixtures, I would estimate that England’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are around 15-20%.
Sri Lanka’s chances of reaching the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup 2023 are slim, but not impossible. They have lost their first three matches of the tournament, putting them in a difficult position.
In order to qualify for the semi-finals, Sri Lanka will need to win all of their remaining matches. This would give them 12 points, which would be enough to put them in contention for a top-four spot.
However, Sri Lanka’s remaining fixtures are against some of the strongest teams in the tournament. They will face England, Afghanistan, India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand.
If Sri Lanka can pull off some upsets and win all of their remaining matches, they will have a chance of reaching the semi-finals. However, their chances are slim, and they will need to play at their best in order to achieve this goal.
Based on their current form and the difficulty of their remaining fixtures, I would estimate that Sri Lanka’s chances of reaching the semi-finals are around 10-15%.
Pakistan’s remaining 5 matches are against Afghanistan, South Africa, Bangladesh, New Zealand, and England, Pakistan’s chances of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 are not mathematically impossible, but they face a tough fight. They have four points from four games. The two consecutive defeats have put Pakistan’s spot in the semi-final under major risk. However, they could overtake India on net run rate or finish higher than South Africa – courtesy of having more wins – should rain interfere and cause the Protea’s match against the Netherlands to be abandoned. So, things really need to fall in Pakistan’s favor.
Who will win with respect to the performances so far?
The Elephant in the room is South Africa, who got good chances and performing players to win the World Cup.
The only reason India not winning the World Cup is the enormous fan pressure they have to handle.
