3 Possible World Cup final matches next year

#3 England Vs New Zealand

England-New Zealand final could be a possibility

Chances are very less that both India and England would slip up in the semis. Hence, this match could be a possibility in the final next year. New Zealand has already been there in the previous edition and they will look to repeat the same in the upcoming edition too.

However, considering the lack of games that the New Zealand team have played in recent times could be a stumbling block for them. They can only scrape through to the Top four if they can beat Pakistan and Australia and beating India in the knockout stages will be a monumental task.

#4 Australia vs South Africa

Australia-South Africa would be an interesting match for the final

Australia and South Africa have been a part of many thrilling encounters in recent times. Both these pace-heavy teams will look to use the England pitches to their advantage.

Although Australia does not look likely to be in the knockout stages, the return of Steven Smith and David Warner before the World Cup could give them the tag of the "dark horse" in the mega event next year.
