Former Australian cricketers, Aaron Finch and Shane Watson, have revealed their top four teams for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup in India.

During a recent interaction with Star Sports, the Aussie duo expressed their belief that India, Pakistan, Australia, and England are the most likely contenders to make it to the semi-finals.

“India, England, Australia. Probably say Pakistan though. I think they are a very well balanced team,” said Finch.

“Australia, India, England, and Pakistan,” Watson said.

Former Indian cricketer, Robin Uthappa, also mentioned Pakistan among his top four teams. However, in contrast to Watson and Finch, he opted for New Zealand over England, while also including Australia and India in his selection.
