The ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is all set to start on October 5th, and there are many
teams that can be the dark horses and win the World Cup 2023. This article will show you which teams can be the dark horses in the World Cup in 2023.
Bangladesh
Bangladesh is one of the top-quality sides in ODI cricket. Over the years, they have performed
well on the balance side. They have battled a powerhouse like India 2-1 and ended the ODI
series. Their home record is dominant; they lost a game in 2016; since then, they have not lost any bilateral series. They have one of the most stable batting lines. The top five batters from Bangladesh will be very competitive: Liton Das, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, and Mushfiqur Rahim, and they will destroy the bowling line-up and try to win each game.
However, Bangladesh have some of the most consistent spin bowlers who take wickets at regular intervals, like Shakib Al Hasan, who delivers left-arm orthodox, and Mehidi Hasan, who delivers left-arm off-break. They will get a huge boost to succeed in the high-voltage tournament, and they have performed well.
While they are one of the top-quality sides and can destroy the other side, it will be the last time we see the top star. Hence, they are one of the dark horses this year in the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Pakistan
Pakistan is one of the best sides in the world and the world’s second-ranked team in ODI cricket. Shaheen Afridi is one of the top-quality bowlers who is in prime form in his career, and they can be one of the most important sides when it comes to the World Cup.
Previously, in 1992, Pakistan won by 22 runs and won the World Cup final against England in
Melbourne. This year, they will play here in India. Can they bowl and bat consistently, deliver, and win the World Cup in 2023? It will be one of the million-dollar questions.
The opening batter of Pakistan, Babar Azam, is very destructive and can bat well, along with
Muhammad Rizwan, who will be desperately trying to do well. They boost themselves at the
prestigious event, make a comeback, and win the World Cup in 2023. They will be the dark
horse.
