#6 Jason Holder - West Indies

Despite being the youngest captain at the World Cup, Jason Holder will be keen to repeat history at Lord's, where West Indies won the World Cup in 1979. West Indies' record in ODI cricket has not been great in recent times. West Indies haven't won a bilateral ODI series since 2014 and have struggled for consistency at the highest level.

However, the return of Chris Gayle and Andre Russell will provide them with the much-needed ammunition. Also, West Indies drew the ODI series against England, the World No.1 team, earlier this year, which will give them some sort of confidence going into the World Cup.

#5 Aaron Finch - Australia

Pakistan v Australia - ODI Series: Game 5

After a torrid 2018 (2 ODI wins from 13 games), Australia are back this year with series wins against India and Pakistan. The Aaron Finch-led side have won nine out of 14 ODI games this year and more importantly, won away series in the subcontinent.

David Warner and Steve Smith are back in the World Cup squad, which have enough firepower to go the distance in England this summer.
