At a promotional event in Ahmedabad, Gilchrist gave his predictions on the semi-finalists of the upcoming ODI World Cup and said, "I think India and Pakistan can be in it, Australia and England are the other two teams. Australia will face South Africa when India comes. "They will learn a lot from their efforts in the IPL. They have three matches against India before the World Cup. So, they will have a full strength team there. That might give us an idea of ​​where they are at."

Only time will tell how true Gilchrist's prediction proves to be, but if Australia has to play the semi-finals of the World Cup, they will have to show their best game. The Indian team has a challenge for captain Pat Cummins before the World Cup, which starts from September 22. Many senior players like Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell will be seen playing in this series.
