AB de Villiers Prediction:
AB de Villiers, popularly known as Mr. Three Sixty, has predicted the four possible semi-final teams in the World Cup on his YouTube channel.
He said that the teams of Australia, England, South Africa and India will participate in the semi-finals of the World Cup in India this year.
The former South African captain said, “I have included three non-Asian teams in my list which is risky but I will stick to it. I think India’s wickets will be good and India and England can reach the final.” Yes, during the World Cup I think we will not see bad wickets.
According to de Villiers, the Indian team will have the advantage of home ground and crowd, that’s why this team can win the World Cup.
