Top 5 ODI teams with best pace attacks ahead of 2019 Cricket World Cup

5. England

Steven Finn

Hosts England would relish playing the upcoming World Cup in home conditions. England have quality in their pace attack to torment their opponents. The English pacers have a lot of experience bowling in home conditions and would bring in their valuable experience at the World Cup.

Seasoned English seamers Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett would look to exploit the pace friendly conditions at home to their advantage. Speedster Steven Finn can cartwheel a few stumps with his express pace and steep bounce.

All rounder Ben Stokes would certainly be handy with his medium pace and could be used effectively as the third seamer. One cannot rule out the possibility of Stuart Broad making a comeback into the ODI setup after being overlooked in recent seasons. England have a promising crop of fast bowling talents in Mark Wood, David Willey and Tom Curran who all have made an impact in ODI cricket.
