“India without any doubt. We have a very, very good, balanced team," Tendulkar told Tanvi Shah, ICC’s Digital Insider. So is the case with Australia, I feel they have a balanced team."

“The third one I would say would be England. England again are a very strong team, a combination of experience and some new faces."

“My fourth team would be New Zealand. They have played the finals in 2015 and 2019. If you look at their track record, New Zealand in world championships have always done well and I see them getting to the semis.”
