Ex-NZ pacer Danny Morrison chooses four semifinalists for T20 WC

Ex-NZ pacer Danny Morrison names India, New Zealand, England, and South Africa as his picks for the T20 World Cup semifinals.

"Co-host India in their own backyard, this blue juggernaut is hard to stop. - Danny Morrison"

New Delhi, February 10

Former New Zealand bowler Danny Morrison picked defending champions India, New Zealand, England and South Africa as the semifinalists of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup.

Danny, a JioStar expert, termed the defending champions a "blue juggernaut" that is hard to stop, but named three semifinalists who will no doubt serve a tough challenge to India.

"Co-host India in their own backyard, this blue juggernaut is hard to stop. I'm going to go with New Zealand because they just played in India, got some top firepower, plenty of players to pick and choose from- all powerhouses. Then England, and fourth South Africa, because a lot of these players have played in the Indian Premier League and have got experience in those conditions," he said as per a JioStar press note.

Kiwis started their T20 WC campaign with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan in Chennai a couple of days ago and are currently playing the UAE in their second clash. After that, they will play South Africa in Ahmedabad on February 14, followed by the final league-stage match against Canada in Chennai on February 17.

As an Indian fan, I love the confidence! But let's not get ahead of ourselves. The team looks strong, but T20 is so unpredictable. One bad day and you're out. Fingers crossed for our Men in Blue! 🤞

Respectfully disagree with leaving out Australia. They have Warner, Maxwell, Starc... pure match-winners. IPL experience is a good point for SA, but their mental strength in semis? Big question mark.

Interesting analysis! The home advantage for India is huge, but pressure is equally massive. New Zealand are the quiet assassins, they could go all the way again. Exciting tournament ahead!

Blue juggernaut is the perfect term! Our batting lineup is fire, and Bumrah is back to his best. If the middle order clicks consistently, trophy aa sakti hai ghar! 🏆

Good to see experts recognizing the IPL's role. So many foreign players are practically locals now, they know the pitches and crowds. Makes for a very competitive World Cup.
