With the clock ticking down to the World Cup 2023, the cricketing universe is abuzz with predictions and debates.

Kallis backs India and England to play World Cup 2023 final

Throwing his hat into this whirlpool of speculations, South African cricket legend Jacques Kallis shared his insights with Star Sports.

While he earmarked hosts India and a defending champions England team as the likely finalists, the exclusion of his native South Africa caught everyone’s attention.

Scheduled to kick off on October 5 in India, the World Cup promises to be a grand spectacle, heightened by the buzz of these early predictions. Kallis, known for his in depth understanding of the game also revealed the reason behind his IND vs ENG World Cup 2023 final prediction.

"India in India is obviously going to be a huge favourite again. England are playing good One-Day cricket, so them,” said Kallis. 




Kallis' opinion echoes the views of many, with India's formidable record at home and England's recent ODI performances making them strong contenders.

Meanwhile, Kallis overlooking the Proteas, historically one of cricket's powerhouses, must have been a curveball many didn't see coming. South Africa, known for its spirited gameplay and potential to turn the tables, has always been a team to watch in global tournaments.

The omission by Kallis prompts reflections on the current dynamics and morale of the South African side, who are still eyeing their first World Cup title win. 

As the World Cup 2023 looms on the horizon, the cricketing world waits in anticipation to see whether Kallis's predictions hold water or if the tournament has some unexpected twists in store.
