New Zealand cricket legend Brendon McCullum revealed his predictions for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.  In an Instagram post, which was later uploaded to Facebook and Twitter as well, he forecasted the wins and losses of all the teams playing in the World Cup.

According to McCullum, Bangladesh will lose eight matches in the tournament, winning only against Sri Lanka. The prediction caused massive uproar on social media. The former Black Caps captain also anticipated that England and India will win eight matches each, while Australia will win six matches.

His own country New Zealand, he predicted, will win five matches, as will South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan.Afghanistan will win two matches, according to McCullum. He expects Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to be at the bottom of the table with one win each.  Bangladesh cricket fans objected at this prediction, and many passionate Bangladeshi fans criticized the post on social media.
