Chopra also pointed out that the Australian cricket team, especially their bowlers, is getting older and might face a tough transition soon. So, Chopra feels Australia has a fair chance but is not among the strongest contenders for the WTC 2027 Final.
They will leave India after losing to them: Aakash Chopra
He continued, “They might win just one match. If they win only one match, they will lose a lot of points. They can win all matches in the West Indies (which they have already done). However, South Africa will challenge them again. So, it is not that straightforward. Looking at the draw, it doesn't seem that easy to me. Decent chance, but I won't say strong contenders.”

Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra believes that South Africa has a tough road ahead in the race for the WTC Final 2027. He even boldly claimed the defending champions will not reach the finals.
Chopra signed off by saying, “Africa has fewer chances. They are the defending champions at the moment, but it's tough. All three of their away series are in the subcontinent. They will find it difficult to even draw all three of those series. South Africa, in my opinion, might not qualify. There is a good chance of them not qualifying.”
Notably, South Africa and Australia are currently facing each other in a three-match T20I series. Australia defeated South Africa by 17 runs in the first T20I match in Darwin on August 10. The two teams will face each other in the second T20I game on Tuesday, August 12.
