IND vs ENG: Former India captain Sourav Ganguly has predicted the winner of the ongoing five-Test series between India and England. He has also predicted the team which has a bright chance of winning the T20 World Cup 2024 in June.

Sourav Ganguly said that England could have won the first Test had they posted a first innings total in excess of 350. Notably, England got all out for 246 in the first innings. He said India would win the series with a 4-0 or 5-0 margin.

"India will win the series, the matter is whether they will win it 4-0 or 5-0. Every Test will be decisive. England could have won this Test match had they batted well. One cannot win against India by making 230 or 240 runs on Indian soil. Had they made 350 or 400, they could have beaten India, but they weren't able to do that. It's a tough series for England. Any team other than the Australia of that era could not create any impact here," Ganguly said.

The former BCCI president also predicted the likely winner of the T20 World Cup 2024 which starts from June 1. He said India will have a great chance of winning the marquee ICC event as conditions in West Indies and USA will be similar to that of India.

"India have a good chance in the T20 World Cup. Recently, India played in the World Cup final, and it was miserable that they lost against Australia. I didn't expect that after playing in a very good manner throughout the tournament they will lose, but it happens in sports," Ganguly said.

"India is a very good side. There will be another opportunity for India as the conditions in the West Indies and America are like India. The IPL will serve as a preparation for the World Cup," he added.
