Akram names trio to figure World Cup
Cynosure: Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle, Steven Smith, Kane Williamson, AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell, Rohit Sharma, Shahid Afridi - there are plenty of stars to ignite the World Cup 2015. Wasim Akram has picked his Top-3. Former Pakistan skipper Wasim Akram believes batsmen AB de Villiers, Glenn Maxwell and David Warner will lead the World Cup during its endurance six weeks. The three had a useful 2014 with Warner scoring 406 runs at an average of 36.9 and the Villiers smashing a 31-ball century recently against the West Indies.
"I am sure Glenn Maxwell, David
Warner and AB de Villiers will ignite the World Cup 2015," Akram said.
"AB developers,
Glenn Maxwell and David Warner are the useful to take the game away in a
flame and it will be dreadfully." De Villiers hit the fastest one-day
hundred against the West Indies, almost a month out of the World Cup and will be a key player
to South Africa platform their first title. Maxwell and Warner hit aggressive
hundreds in the warm-up game against India at Adelaide on Monday to signal what
they have in store for the opponents
He also said that on current
form of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are the teams to beat and best
performer in 2104. The New Zealand Team had one of the best years in 2014 with
a win percentage of 75 in ODIs, other side South Africa & Australia also
registered series wins against New Zealand and Pakistan respectively.
He believes the warm-up
games results will have no front anything in the tournament proper and said
that the format of the World Cup will give teams time to recover even if their
start is untrustworthy. "He also said that results of the warm-up games will
count for nothing," he thinks. "The format of this World Cup is so
good that it allows a team to stage a comeback even if they lose the first game
or second game and from the quarter-finals onwards it will depend on how you
play on that day."
