Cricket World Cup Predictions: Who will stand where at the end?

#2 India

India v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5

Virat Kohli & Co. go into the tournament as one of the top favorites. India have arguably the best top order with the likes of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Virat Kohli. However, the middle order has caused a lot of trouble for Kohli and a lot of questions are yet to be answered. India have a good pace attack, led by the World No.1 bowler Jasprit Bumrah. Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal provide the much-needed variety. Anything less than a top-four finish is a huge disappointment for Team India.

#1 England

England v Pakistan - 5th Royal London ODI

The home team are a clear favorite to win their first World Cup title. They possess the most destructive batting lineup in the tournament with the likes of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, and Ben Stokes. They have a good set of all-rounders and the pace of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer will certainly make a lot of difference for England. They have played some consistent and aggressive cricket over the past couple of years and have lost only two of their 11 games in 2019.
