Besides 22-year-old Vashi, the beauties from China,
Ireland, Norway, Venezuela and Brazil are also tipped to win
the coveted title, according to readabet.com website.
Another website global beauties.com has included Vashi among the top 12 hopefuls out of 106 at the competition.
An article on the pageant on readabet.com noted that Miss India has become Miss World four times in the last ten years, while no one else has won it more than once in this period.
It also points out that Vashi has come through what is "the toughest national contest on the planet”.
"With the record of her country it is perhaps not surprising that the best odds to be found are 16/1," it said.
"The Indian entrant will always be in with a chance but could they really win it for the fifth time this decade?" the website article wondered.
Meanwhile, according to the website of the beauty pageant, Miss Ireland, Rosanna Davison was named Miss World beach beauty 2003 which was held on Friday in Sanya.
