India will win the world cup!

There, I said it.

More prognostications from the descendent of Nostradamus:

1. India will play SL in the final. If they play earlier than the final, the winner will go on to win the tournament.

2. Bangladesh will be the breakout team in this cup. They will go to QF, and possibly SF.

3. Tendulkar will not play more than 2 crucial innings. He will play sheet anchor in one and will lead the chase in the other.

4. The games will not be as high scoring as people think. Some matches will be won by teams defending low totals.

5. The best match winning innings/bowling figures will come from a Pakistani player.

6. There will be a security related issue and at least one match will be affected/moved to a different city.

7. As the tournament goes on, more and more people will watch the matches with their TV muted, unable to bear the commentary any longer.

8. At least one major player will fail miserably in the world cup and then do well in the following IPL, prompting critics to question his commitment to his country.

9. Every ex-player will enjoy his 15 mins in the spotlight and make outrageous comments slamming current players.

10. A side will go deep into the knockout stage purely on it’s better fielding ability.

11. More people will be repulsed by the ads from the sponsors rather than buy their products because of these ads.

12. TV and media newspeople will quote reactions from film personalities on twitter: “Amitabh praised Kohli for that brilliant catch!”

13. The highest scorer in the world cup will not be an opening batsman.

14. Tendulkar will retire from ODIs at the end of the cup. He will reiterate his desire to play in 200 Tests.

15. As TMQ writes, “All predictions wrong or your money back!”
