India is a decent team) I'm a little sorry that luck is often on the side of Australia (
I definitely like the game of the Indian team. but the facts say that New Zealand has a better chance. Check it out with the bookmaker - https://india-1xbet.com/ There are many fans who are long-term betting on the end of the season. It has an increased coefficient and an increased risk) I myself am not ready for this and prefer to bet on each match separately
It was an interesting prediction. But as you can see, everything did not come true in full. Sports analytics in cricket often fails because teams fight to the end.
