CWC 2019: Predicting the teams' positions on the points table

#1 England

England v West Indies - 5th One Day International

England will start off as hot favorites to lift the trophy and there are numerous reasons for this. They will be playing at home, meaning that they will have an added advantage, especially in crunch games. They have one of the most formidable batting line-ups with the likes of Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root, and Jos Buttler in the mix. The fact that Alex Hales will be a back-up is sure to scare opposition teams.

They have a lot of all-rounders in their squad with the likes of Chris Woakes, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali as the key men. Bowlers such as Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett and Mark Wood are also present, and one can never forget the fact that Jofra Archer could still walk into the squad.

They have quality players in all departments of the game, and this is arguably their best chance of lifting the coveted trophy.
