#1 England

Arguably, the most explosive ODI side at the moment, England are definitely the overwhelming favourites leading into the tournament.
If their current mauling handed out to Australia is anything to go by, England at home might well be the most exciting team to watch out for.
Their batting is dynamic and their bowling gets the job done, the fielding is secure and they know how to win matches, which puts them in just the right space ahead of the tournament.
However, they do falter at key moments and if they guard against complacency, they might well play the finals and Eoin Morgan could well the trophy for the first time for England.
