World Cup 2019: 4 teams likely to breach the first 500 run total in ODIs

#3 England

England are the top contenders for winning this World Cup

England had a horrible campaign in the 2015 World Cup when they failed to reach the quarter-finals. Since then, England has changed their approach in ODIs as they have opted for flamboyance instead of pragmatism. This change of guard has helped them as they have been brilliant in this format of the game for the last few years.

In this time period, they have broken the world record for highest team score twice. The hosts of the World Cup set a new world record in 2016 when they scored 444/3 vs Pakistan. Then they bettered it last year by scoring 481/6 vs Australia.

It is clear that they have the ability to score big. The batting line up is packed with power hitters who can start hitting from the very first ball of the innings. The hosts have a real chance of becoming the first team to break the 500 run barrier.
