The 2019 ICC World Cup is a few weeks away and it promises to be one of the most keenly contested tournaments ever with the top 10 ODI teams fighting it out in England and Wales.
England are the hosts and heavy favourites to lift their first 50-overs world title. Defending champions Australia are getting into form after a tumultuous 2018 while India, South Africa, New Zealand, West Indies and Pakistan are also strong contenders alongside the dangerous Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
