The Cricket Podcast

On our final 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup preview and predictions show we make predictions for the entire world cup. As with previous predictions show the episode takes the form of a draft, which we will revisit at the end of the tournament to see who made the best predictions. We will be predicting: who will score the most runs? who will take the most wickets? who will be the player of the world cup? who will be the biggest flop? who will make the semi-finals? and who will win the 2023 Cricket World Cup? This is the ultimate test of our cricketing knowledge, as we go up against each other to work out which of us is Virat Kohli and which of us is Mark Ealham.

England, India, Australia and Pakistan feature on our last team preview episode for the 2023 ODI Cricket World Cup. The 4 big boys of the tournament go into the World Cup with high expectations, but who do we predict could win the tournament. Australia have won more Cricket World Cups than anybody else, however their form has been patchy leading into this one. Do Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and the rest of the A-list players in the team have it in them to claim another trophy? Pakistan are the most volatile team in cricket. But Babar Azam and Rizwan provide steel with the bat. If Shaheen Afridi plays well they could be a real challenger. England won the 2019 Cricket World Cup, and Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Joe Root and the gang will be hoping they can go back to back. Is this possible or do we predict an early exit? And finally, India, go into their home tournament as favourites. Will the pressure of this tag be too much for Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Jasprit Bumrah. OR will they rise to the occasion?
