CWC 2019: 4 Reasons why this World Cup will be the most high-scoring to date

The batting-friendly pitches in England

One of the most fundamental things which impact the scoring trends for a tournament is the pitches, and when you talk about England, the pitches have undoubtedly been absolute belters. Having seen the highest number of hundreds and average run rate and two of the highest ever ODI totals in the last four years, one has to admit that this tournament could be about the ODI record books being rewritten.

The last 4 years have seen numerous scores of over 400 in ODI cricket, including the world record 481.

We have already seen England only nearly missing out on the 500-run mark, and with majority of the matches being played in England, a team score of 500, a few more double hundreds, a new record for the fastest century or the highest successful run chase - many such records look to be in danger.

So overall, this World Cup will see heaps of runs being scored.
