Top 5 favourites to win the ICC World Cup in 2019

#4 South Africa

Australia v South Africa - T20

The Proteas haven’t had much success in the ICC World Cups so far, as they are infamously known as the chokers of the historic cup competition. The farthest the African side has come is the semifinal stage of the tournament.

With the World Cup under a year away, this seems like the time when The Proteas might get their hands on the prestigious trophy. With a stable team comprising a dominant batting lineup and a devastating bowling attack, the South African supporters are excited for the tournament in England.

On the back of a recent dominating victory over reigning World Champions, the South African team looks all set to challenge for the World Cup in England.

South Africa had a decent run in the previous cup held down under where they were eliminated in the semifinal stage by eventual runner-up, New Zealand. The Proteas will surely miss their former star skipper, AB de Villiers, who many consider as one of their greatest players of all time. A player like de Villiers is hard to replace but this South African side consists of world-class talents all around.
