Who will win the ICC World Cup 2019?

With less than six months to go, the cricketing world is gearing up for the ICC World Cup to be held in England and Wales this summer

With less than six months to go, the cricketing world is gearing up for the ICC World Cup to be held in England and Wales this summer.

A total of 10 teams will battle it out on the field for cricketing supremacy as the unpredictability of British summer plays its part during the one-day matches, held across different venues of the nation. Irrespective of the outcome, cricket is one of the most enthusiastically watched sports in the world and thus a favourite with fans, bookmakers and punters.

For professional as well as beginners, planning to gamble during the World Cup, this is the perfect time to start looking at the teams and analysing them for a knowledgeable and profitable bet. Moreover, choosing the right bookie can often make a difference, and a little bit of research in that department is also important.

Teams such as Australia and South Africa, considered at the top of most major cricket competitions, have taken a backseat as new countries have emerged as favourites. The following three teams have been consistently performing well on the international stage and are undoubtedly capable of winning the World Cup.

England

This could very well be the year when England finally lifts the most coveted trophy in a game that they created. Playing on home fields will give the team the most significant advantage they have had in years. Add to that the excellent form of every player, and it is no wonder that England is ranked No 1 in the world to take home the World Cup. A favourite with bookmakers as well, they are listed at 11/4 odds, and we should see them reach the semi-finals at least without any problem. 

India

As it is there was no doubt about the Indian team being among the top few to win the World Cup in 2019. But after their recent victory over Australia in a test match, that too on Australian soil, we can expect greatness from this merry band of young boys who have been achieving quite a few accolades over the last couple of years. Listed at 10/3 odds by the bookmakers, bettors should seriously be looking at backing India for some profitable returns. 

New Zealand

Another team that has come really close to lifting the cup, but not entirely lifted it, New Zealand could very well do it in 2019. Listed at 7/1 odds, punters will be keeping a watchful eye on their first few games to see how they perform before making a call on the final. The
