Cricket Iceland Mocks Fans Over Wild T20 WC Prediction With 'Still Laughing, But Nervously' Remark
cricket iceland mocks fans over wild t20 wc prediction with 'still laughing, but nervously' remark
The ongoing ICC men's T20 World Cup 2024 has been that sort of a tournament which will be remembered for a very long time. From uncertainties building around the pitch in New York to the USA creating history by qualifying for the Super 8 round, a lot has been on offer in the ongoing ninth edition of the T20 World Cup. As unimaginable as it may sound, South Africa have broken their semi-final jinx and have qualified for the finals and now all eyes are on the India vs England semi-final that is to be played at the Providence Stadium, Guyana.
The last time India played against England in a T20 World Cup semi-final was in 2022. The match did not end well for India who were knocked out by Buttler's defiant men who eventually went on to win the T20 World Cup for the second time. India will look for a payback and inch closer to the coveted silverware. On the other hand, many people believed that Rashid Khan's Afghanistan were in with a special chance. They had already scripted history by storming into the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup, but things were not meant to end in their favour. South Africa came out of nowhere, gatecrashed Afghanistan's party and knocked them out of the T20 World Cup.
Amid all the storyline and bizarre happenings in the T20 World Cup, it is Cricket Iceland who are grabbing some eyeballs with a tweet that they posted on April 4, 2024. England Cricket's fan army, famously known as the Barmy Army had posted a tweet asking the fans to share their wildest T20 World Cup 2024 prediction. Cricket Iceland picked South Africa to be the eventual champions of the T20 World Cup irrespective of their chokers tag. They did receive a lot of flak and were subject to mockery, but the Proteas have now qualified for the finals and it is now Cricket Iceland who is having the last laugh.
South Africa will now have their keen eyes on the India vs England semi-finals. Rain threat looms large on the match and much to England's misfortune, there is no reserve day for the match. If the match ends up being a washout then India go through to the finals and will play against Africa in the summit clash.
