4 Reasons why India can win the 2019 Cricket World Cup

2. The pitches and India's past performances in England

Rohit Sharma had a great time on the flat ODI Tracks in the Champions Trophy

Countering the swing has been a major factor in India's Test struggles in the British Isles but ODI cricket is a different ball game. The pitches tend to be a lot flatter in the ODIs and hitting is far easier for the Indian batters.

The likes of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan, who have often been criticised for failing against quality seam bowling overseas, have an outstanding record in England. The two were monumental in India's Champions Trophy exploits in 2013 and 2017.

The grounds in England are also far smaller than the ones encountered in Australia during the last tournament, which makes the likes of Pandya and Jadeja far more potent. The Champions Trophy assignments are a major indicator that the Indian ODI team will be a major force to reckon with in 2019.
