Indian cricket skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni believes that Australia may find it difficult to win the upcoming edition of the World Cup at home in view of high expectations.

Dhoni led his team to win the 2011 World Cup after defeating Sri Lanka in the final at Mumbai, and became the first host nation to win the final on home soil.

Commenting on Australia's World Cup chances, the big-hitting batsman said that it was slightly tough, that was what the statistics suggest, adding that lot of home teams hadn't won the World Cup, News.com.au reported.

Though admitting that the cricket culture is different in Trans-Tasman neighbors, Dhoni further said the expectation of the people was high and that is what we found all over India, adding that same would happen for the Australians and the New Zealand side, the report added.
