Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh has predicted Pakistan and Australia as the finalists of the upcoming ICC Men’s World Cup in India.

Marsh recently appeared in a YouTube podcast, co-hosted by Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan, and was asked to predict the finalists of this year’s World Cup, excluding Australia.

“Who is going to win it? India, Pakistan or England?” asked Vaughan.

The all-rounder, however, displayed confidence in his side’s abilities and insisted that Australia would indeed make it to the final of the mega event and would face Pakistan.

“I honestly think that it will be Australia v Pakistan in the final,” Mitchell Marsh replied.
