CWC 2019: Ranking the top 3 batting sides in the tournament

#1 England

England

It's unfortunate how England as a nation gave cricket to the whole world, have not won a single ODI World Cup. They have been the runners up thrice, but couldn't lay their hands on the trophy that matters.

However, team England was aware of the fact and their preparations started soon after the harsh exit from the 2015 World Cup, where they were knocked out by the underdogs Bangladesh. Team England currently boast of the top quality batting line up for the world cup 2019 and the players know their home conditions better than anyone.

The pitches in England getting flat every passing year only makes their job easier to score at will. The batting averages of their batsmen after last World Cup are worth taking a note. Jonny Bairstow (50.9), Jason Roy (43), Joe Root (58.72), Eoin Morgan (43.8), Jos Buttler (50.08), and Ben Stokes (53.29) speak volumes for the credibility of their batting line up. The hosts will definitely look to end their quest for maiden ODI World Cup trophy this year.

Preliminary Squad:

Jonny Bairstow, Jason Roy, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan (c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Tom Curran, Joe Denly, David Willey.
