#2 No clear favourites to win the World Cup

Pakistan entered the Champions Trophy 2017 tournament as the least favourite team to win the trophy. However, they won the cup by beating tournament favourites like England and India. This is the best example of the current state of the ODI Cricket. No team is a clear favourite to win the World Cup 2019.

Australia's domination of the world cricket for the past two decades have taken some sheen out of the tournament. Since 1999, Austalia has won four of the five World Cups.

However, things have changed since 2015. Australia has gone down from the summit so fast that they are clearly not the favourites to win the upcoming World Cup. England, who are playing excellent cricket in the past four years, has the tendency to slide in the crucial moments. The other teams like India, South Africa, New Zealand and Pakistan are as good as England on a given day.

With no clear favourites, this World Cup will have more twists and turns than any other World Cup.
