#2 India
India is the team which starts as favorites alongside England for the ICC World Cup 2019. One big reason for that is India's top three. Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are arguably the best opening pair going around in the world and they love batting in ICC tournaments.
Coming to the middle order, India the world's best ODI batsman in their skipper Virat Kohli and that makes up India's fab three. Number 4 is a bit of a problem but the men in blue have enough options at that spot with the likes of KL Rahul, Dinesh Karthik, and Vijay Shankar.
The lower middle order of this team is absolutely great. The likes of MS Dhoni, Kedar Jadhav and Hardik Pandya add that decisive firepower to this Indian unit. If India's middle order is up to the task, this batting unit will be hard to stop.
#1 England
Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow are the openers of England and both of them are attacking in nature. These two have really stepped up in the last year and a half, and they are vital for England's chances on the grand stage.
The wickets on offer in England have supported batting and both these men have a terrific record in their home country. England have a brilliant middle order with some touch players and powerhitters.
Joe Root, Eoin Morgan and Jos Buttler have been a mainstay in the middle order and all of them have the capability to take the game away in the middle overs. Buttler and Morgan are match winners and when they get set, it is difficult to stop them.
England bat very deep with the likes of Ben Stokes, Chris Woakes and Liam Plunkett to complete the lower middle order. All in all, the host nation seems to have the best batting lineup
