Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has been an active user of social media and is always in the limelight because of his statements. On many occasions, he has also become a target of trolls and it happened again post England’s super-over victory against New Zealand in the fifth and final T20I in Auckland. Vaughan took to Twitter and predicted that the ICC T20 World Cup 2020 will be lifted by either England or Australia. However, his assumption was not appreciated by several cricket fans and the former cricketer faced a lot of bashing. ICC T20 World Cup 2020 Schedule For Free PDF Download Online.
“Early T20 World Cup prediction ... England or Australia will be winning it ... #JustSaying” wrote Vaughan on the micro-blogging website. England, who lifted the 50-over World Cup earlier this year, has emerged as a formidable force in white-ball cricket. On the other hand, Australia have also got stronger ever since the return of David Warner and Steve Smith, and have also bagged two T20I series on the trot. However, teams like New Zealand, Indian and West Indies have also been doing well in white-ball and can’t be ignored. Eventually, Vaughan’s statement didn’t go down well with netizens and here’s how they reacted.

One chance you had was Super Over mate. But now that rule has also changed. So you guys don't even have a cent percent chance😄
Start looking for guys from other countries, you still have a year for that! Most diverse team you've got😜
