Shane Warne picks India and England as favorites

Shane Warne was regarded one of the greatest cricketing minds to have not captained his country at the international level. He was a shrewd reader of the game and was ahead of his time. Shane Warne reads the T20 game in a brilliant manner unlike his contemporaries. He put on the predictor hat to pick hot favorites for the WT20 and this is what he had the say.

T20 World Cup 2021: India vs Pakistan Match Cancelled? Here’s the update

I think Eng & India have to go in as fav’s for the T/20 WC. NZ always perform well in events too. But I have a feeling the Aussies are being underestimated as they have a lot of match winners in their squad. Then you have Pakistan & the Wi. Excited to see who will win

Shane Warne in support of these 2 players

Shane Warne also came in support of 2 veteran left hand batters in David Warner and Eoin Morgan who are awfully out of form with the bat. Both the southpaws had a forgettable IPL and they didn’t hit form even in the warmups games.

Both Australia and England would like these 2 stalwarts to contribute for their team and they have enough experience to put their bad phase behind them and start smashing when the tournament starts. Here’s what Shane Warne had to say about these 2 out of form batters.

Ps Whoever wants to write of @davidwarner31 & @Eoin16 re their lack of form. Remember class is permanent & form is temporary – don’t be surprised if one of these players will be player of the tournament #ICCT20WorldCup2021 ! Who will win followers ?
