He believes teams that handle pressure well and adapt quickly during matches usually perform better in big tournaments.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan also pointed out that playing conditions in the subcontinent will play an important role, especially for teams unfamiliar with slow pitches and spin-friendly surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eoin Morgan feels that India are currently among the strongest contenders to win the T20 World Cup 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playing on home grounds gives India a clear advantage, as players are used to the conditions and large crowd support.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Morgan highlighted India\u2019s strong squad depth, with quality batters, reliable bowlers, and several players capable of changing the game in a few overs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also praised India\u2019s ability to cover all areas of the game. Their batting lineup offers both stability and power, while the bowling attack provides options in pace and spin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;Morgan believes this balance makes India a dangerous side in the shortest format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Morgan was careful not to rule out other top teams. He mentioned that England, <a href=\"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/news\/mitchell-marsh-to-lead-australia-t20-wc\/\">Australia<\/a>, and New Zealand remain serious threats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">England\u2019s aggressive style, Australia\u2019s experience in major tournaments, and New Zealand\u2019s consistency make them tough opponents. In T20 cricket, a single strong performance can change the outcome of a match.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":1059,"template":"","tags":[533,532,61],"ppma_author":[489],"class_list":["post-1058","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-cricket-world-cup-prediction","tag-eoin-morgan-predicts","tag-t20-world-cup-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/1058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1058"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1058"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cricbex.com\/story\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ppma_author?post=1058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
