Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq doesn't see the men in green making it into the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.

In an interview with a Pakistani news channel, Misbah said India and England are very much in-form and can make it to the final match.

“India and England are the top two teams on paper because of their performances. Then the rest of the teams come," the former Pakistani skipper was quoted as saying.

The former skipper said he believes "cricket is an unpredictable game and anyone can win on their day". 

It's been a few days since the jaw-dropping tournament is in full swing. 

India has shown consistent efficiency against the opponents as they have been remained unbeatable. 

The men in blue won their opener match against Proteas by six wickets and then broke the ten-ODI-winning streak of Australia, the current World Champions, by 36 runs.

While the host team England, also defeated South Africa in the opener match by 104 runs before getting short of runs against Pakistan in the second match.  

England outshined Bangladesh in the third match by 106 runs, confirming their invincibility. 

India will aim to continue their winning streak by taking on New Zealand at Nottingham this Thursday, while England will be ready to face West Indies at Southampton on Friday.
