Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has made a bold prediction, sparking intense speculation and excitement ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup in India.

Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh recently made a bold prediction about the potential ICC World Cup 2023 finalists in a YouTube podcast.

In a conversation with former England captain Michael Vaughan, Australian cricketers named Pakistan as favorites to win the World Cup to be held in India.

Adam Gilchrist also backed Mitchell Marsh's prediction that Pakistan and Australia will face each other in the final of the mega tournament.

What makes Marsh's prediction particularly compelling is the current landscape of the ODI rankings. Pakistan is currently at the top followed by Australia in second place.

The two teams are fighting tooth and nail for the top spot, with Australia having the potential to overtake Pakistan if they win their next ODI match against South Africa, while Pakistan can retain their top spot if they manage to beat arch-rivals India eagerly awaited Super 4 duel in the Asian Cup on September 10th.

With the 2023 ODI World Cup just a few weeks away and set to begin on October 5 with a blockbuster opening match between England and New Zealand, there is a lot of excitement in the cricket world. This first meeting is a rematch of the unforgettable 2019 World Cup final, where England claimed victory over New Zealand in a dramatic Super Over ruled by the boundary count rule.
