Expect the unexpected from World Cup 2019
With the ICC World Cup 2019 right around the corner, there have been a lot of expectations and assumptions regarding the game from their fans. Whilst we are all in rooting for our favourites, read below to get a brief idea of what all you can expect from this tournament.
500 plus scores
It was back in 2018, when England with its 481-6 broke the record of scoring the first ever 450+ runs in One Day International. However, with the latest advancement in the game, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see a 500 score record set in this World Cup. England being the current top rank holder in ICC’s ratings will be keen on breaking this record with its in-form batsmen and will be seen in a different attitude post the disappointing 2015 World Cup. India having scored the 400 plus mark 5 times and South Africa 6 times will be keen on breaking this 500 mark. Another reason for this could be the favourable batting pitch that makes the batsmen in the tournament even more dominant. No matter which team breaks the record, the high scoring games in the World Cup will surely keep the fans entertained.
Roller coaster of emotions
This World Cup consists of teams including both the experienced as well as young players in their squad. Whilst the team could utilise the experience of players, there will be quite a few legends that would be playing their last World Cup. Also, the tournament might witness several senior cricketers who would play their last World Cup. Every team would strive hard to win the cup for these legends before bidding a farewell.
Comeback after the ban
After a year ban from International Cricket, David Warner and Steve Smith will be all ready to play for the Australian side. The 5 times World Cup winners will be keen to see their key players back in the action. David Warner had a positive start before the big tournament with being the highest run getter in IPL 2019 with 692 runs in 12 matches. However, it would be difficult to compare the extent of his T20 form in One Day Internationals.
