#1 England are firm favorites for the trophy
England have come close to winning the World Cup on too many occasions but to their displeasure, the fact is that the creators of cricket have failed to lift the majestic World Cup even once in the history of this game.
That brings our attention to the upcoming edition which is being hosted by England and it is fair to say that the hosts are the most dominant unit on the planet right now and their display against Pakistan justified their 'favorites' tag.
England's strength lies in its balance and it is the reason why no score seems small for this English unit, simply because the team is extremely well prepared for every situation.
Players like Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, and Jonny Bairstow proved their mettle once again as England humbled Pakistan 4-0 at home.
With the World Cup being the next stop, this might be the best chance for England to break their jinx at the most prestigious stage in the world.
