“World Cup game by game predictions. 4 teams will fight out the 4th qualifying spot and net run rate will decide who progresses. Rain and luck will likely play a part as well. I hope Nz gets that little bit of luck and can qualify. Enjoy the 6 week celebration of the best players on the planet,” wrote McCullum on Facebook. ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Predictions: New Zealand and West Indies Are Dark Horses, Feel Former Stars.

Here’s McCullum’s Facebook Post:

In the notes prepared by former New Zealand cricketer, he says West Indies will win against Sri Lanka and Interestingly, he has predicted just one win for Sri Lanka and that too against West Indies. So, it is a bit confusing there! The former Blackcaps player has also made a bold prediction that Afghanistan will defeat both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
