My heart wants to say South Africa and India but I am kind of leaning towards India and England: Dale Steyn on World Cup finalists
During a recent discussion on Star Sports, Dale Steyn revealed his predictions for the upcoming World Cup. He said that his heart wanted South Africa to reach the final and face India. However, he reckons India and England might end up playing in the final of this edition of the World Cup.
Steyn said:
“It’s a tough one, you know my heart wants to go with South Africa making the final. I would love them to make the final, their team, a lot of their players play in the IPL, they play in India regularly. They got some guys like in David Miller and Heinrich Klaasen who really started to figure out those conditions and bat well there."
He added:
"Then, there is KG Rabada who has been bowling there for ages and a lot of their other senior players have played a lot of cricket there. So I feel like they have got the ability to go on and get to the finals with getting those players."
"I feel like the favourites would probably be India, I feel like India is going to be one of the finalists and probably England. But my heart wants to say South Africa and India but I am kind of leaning towards India and England."
