Well Asia cup has pretty much confirmed that we have massive problem in middle order and it needs a complete revamp.

However I would still won't  count us out as favorites as we are different beast altogether in ICC tournaments.

With less than a year left for cricket world cup lets check who are the favorites to lift it, let's see who are better prepared.

Please vote any 4 teams that you think are the favorites and potential semifinalists taking into consideration the conditions and recent form in 50 over format.

India should be one of the favorites if selectors stick to Asia cup squad which has experience and players who have winning mentality and can come good in crucnh situations. If this is India's starting XI, they should be joint favorites

 

KL Rahul

Dhawan

Kohli

Rayudu

MSD

Jadhav

Jadeja

Chahar

Bhuvi

Kuldeep

Bumrah

 

5 frontlien bowlers + Jadhav, batting till #9. And no tuk tuk at the top of the order. This is basically England's recipe for success. Bat deep, have 6 bowlers and go hard from ball 1

With this team we will take bottom spot.

India were without Bumrah when England beat them 2-1 

 

I think one more solid middle order batsman and a keeper who can slog a bit will make India a very competitive side and one of the favorites.

 

They can't play full tournament with same set of bowlers. There may be times when one of the wrist openers may have to be dropped in order to make room for an extra seamer.

Fav is england and they should win but they should have won CT but didnt. Aussies could be one potential challengers. Actually NZ also has a decent team for english conditions.  

 

From asia India is the only possible candidate. Pak won CT thanks to 2 good days, WC has a very long format they will get exposed like they did in asia cup. SL are a mess. BD doesnt have the skill. Despite their spirited performance at asia cup you have to be dumb to think afg can win world cup. Reaching quarters in itself will be an achievement for them.

Australia without a doubt. Agree they are one of the worst side right now but wait for worldcup you will yourself see how good they will play in wc. Warner Finch & Smith along with Cummins, Starc & Hazlewood will be deadly combinations in batting & bowling. England will choke against Austrilia and maybe even against India. We don't have middle order nor good pace attack. Only Good at Top 3 and Spin department.
