At the beginning of the year, Australia was in first place to win the 2019 World Cup. But a change of fate began with a victory against a formidable Indian team in the One Day International (ODI) series. India, followed by Pakistan's lime in the ODI series in the UAE has rejuvenated the team and Australia is heading for the 2019 World Cup in top form. The series wins against India and Pakistan, helped Australia to record a run of eight consecutive wins in ODI before winning its series of three "unofficial" matches against New Zealand in Brisbane 2-1. Australia also welcoming Steve Smith and David Warner, who are coming back from their one-year ban on hitting balls, the men of Down Under suddenly find themselves among the tournament's biggest favorites. The recovery of results, juxtaposed with the return of Smith and Warner, led the legendary legendary player Shane Warne to make a bold prediction.
Warne said not only that he believed that Australia could win the World Cup, but thought to win the World Cup. "
" I think everyone has criticized the Australia because they were quite ordinary and they played cricket of poor quality in the last 12 months, but in the past two months, the ODI team found its conviction. have begun to think like all Australian fans today and think they can win it from anywhere. And you can not make it. You have to do it many times, "Warne told IANS.
" I think going to India and England should be favorites because they've played the best cricket in recent years, but if you look the history of Australia's performance at the World Cups, they win the last World Cup and have won 4. of the last 6 tournaments so that they enjoy the big tournament and I think they can win the World Cup and I think they will be. "
However, the former Australian star still believes that India and England are among the favorites." At age 49, Smith said Smith would be a "huge player" for Australia and that his one-year ban was a big loss for the team.
"However, they have to qualify for a very strong team in India and England. If you ask me who are the favorites, it is India and England, but I just think that Australia came back at the right time and that you put Warner and Smith in this mix, they suddenly look good on one side.
"He (Smith) is a huge player, if you remember March of last year and you said who were the top five players in the world, you'd say Kohli, AB from Villiers, Steve Smith, David Warner and Kane Williamson, so Australia has beaten two of the top five and losing them is a big loss, "he said.
Australia beat New Zealand seven wickets home to win the league title in 2015 and extend its tournament record record. The eleven World Cups contested, they won five and were finalists two more times.
Head coach Justin Langer and Aaron Finch have not only stabilized the ship after the South African fouling scandal, but also returned it with force.
