Sachin Tendulkar Reveals His Predictions for 2015 World Cup
Legendary Indian batsman, Sachin Tendulkar, has revealed his predictions for the upcoming 2015 World Cup to be jointly hosted by Australia and New Zealand next year.
Tendulkar, 41, attended a press conference at the infamous Lord’s Cricket Ground to promote his autobiography ‘Playing It My Way.’
“I think Australia, South Africa, New Zealand are a dark horse, and India – these four should be my semi-finalists,” Agence France-Presse (AFP) quoted Tendulkar as saying.
Speaking of out-of-favour England’s odds, he added: “Do England have a chance? Not really. I don’t think so. Anything is possible in this sport but going on current form I don’t think England will be that competitive.”
However, Tendulkar insists that defending champions India will be a tough side to get the better of, as their spinners might just take the game away from the opposition.
“I feel India can surprise a lot of people and I also believe the spinners will come into play. People talk about the pitches for fast bowlers but because of the size of the grounds, I think spinners could be important.”
