5 Reasons why England will win the World Cup in 2019

#3 The fall of Australia

The Capetown saga has badly hurt the Aussie 2019 chances

No team in the history of the Cricket World Cup is more dangerous than the Men from Down Under. With five cups in their Cabinet, the Aussies have always been the team to beat in the World Cup.

While their T20 record is pretty mediocre they are the giants in the 50-Over version of the game. The Aussies have always raised their performance when it mattered the most.

However, the recent ball-tampering saga has led them bereft of their two best batsmen in Warner and Smith, and the depleted morale of the squad. Returning to their previous high standards will not be very easy for the duo once the suspension period gets over.
