Teams likely to qualify for World Cup 2019 semifinals

#2 England

The English team stands at the top of the ICC ODI rankings and are on course for winning England's first ever ICC World Cup next year. Their main strength lies in their power-packed batting, which includes the likes of Jason Roy, Jos Buttler, and Alex Hales. In the 2017 Champions Trophy, they failed to reach the final, falling in the semis.

They have an extra advantage as they play in home conditions. Eoin Morgan has been impressive in the limited overs format with his impressive captaincy. England's last two ODI series provide a sample on the capability of the English squad.

They even beat Australia with a 5-0 margin, reaching the No.1 spot in ODIs. Their weakness lies in the middle order and their bowling which is not up to the mark. With plenty of match-winners in the squad, England might win the 2019 World cup.

England's key players:

Batsmen: Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Eoin Morgan.

Bowlers: Adil Rashid, Mark Wood.
