Likely Women’s T20 World Cup semi-finalistsHussain stuck his neck out and suggested six-time champions Australia, tournament hosts England, reigning ICC Women's Cricket World Cup winners India and reigning title holders New Zealand would be the four teams most likely to reach the knockout stages.
"You saw that in the 50-over World Cup.
If you can beat Australia in a 50-over World Cup and then beat South Africa.
I think they're slightly better in a big knockout game than maybe a bilateral game as we've seen against South Africa and England.
But it could well be South Africa and the West Indies.
Likely Women’s T20 World Cup semi-finalists
Hussain stuck his neck out and suggested six-time champions Australia, tournament hosts England, reigning ICC Women's Cricket World Cup winners India and reigning title holders New Zealand would be the four teams most likely to reach the knockout stages.
"Australia and England," Hussain said without hesitation on The ICC Review.
"I just said West Indies could surprise, but I'm going to go with the reigning champions, New Zealand (as the third).
"And then I don't know out of India and South Africa, but I'm going to go India because I think they raised their game in big games.
"You saw that in the 50-over World Cup. If you can beat Australia in a 50-over World Cup and then beat South Africa. I think they're slightly better in a big knockout game than maybe a bilateral game as we've seen against South Africa and England.
"So they are my four. But it could well be South Africa and the West Indies. Who knows? In this format, it is very difficult to predict who'll get out of the group stages."
