#1 England

A few years ago England wasn't taken seriously in ODI cricket, but this has reversed with time. They have become a dynamic ODI side which has played its cricket with an aggressive intent. The current ODI team is considered to be the best England ever had. The team performed exceedingly well both at home and away.
Especially playing at home England has looked invincible. A testimony to this is their whitewash over arch-rivals Australia and 2-1 series win against a formidable Indian side in the recently concluded ODI series.
Jason Roy, Johnny Bairstow, Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler have the ability to win matches singlehandedly. While in Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid they have a strong spin attack. They also have a barrage of fast bowlers who can be highly effective in home conditions.
Apart from this, they have arguably the best all-rounder in the world, Ben Stokes, in their side. Considering all these factors, England looks to be the prime contender to win their maiden World Cup trophy.
