Fans disclose the winner of ICC World Cup 2019 in a poll

The much-awaited ICC Cricket World Cup is only six to seven months as the ten participating teams will be fighting it out for the silverware. Australia are the defending champions who are currently struggling in the 50-over format with the bans on their top cricketers. All the teams are looking to build the team ahead of the event and every match is going down the wire. Meanwhile, the ICC ran a poll recently asking the fans about the possible winner of the tournment and England have come out on top with the flying colours. As many as 41.23 percent people thought England, led by Eoin Morgan, will win the World Cup which, if they do, will be their maiden triumph. Looking at their form at the moment, the Brits who are also the hosts of the tournament are certainly the favourites to clinch the title. They are on a series winning spree at the moment and recently won the ODI series in Sri Lanka in their own den. It will be interesting to see if they will be able to live up to the expectations. What about India and Pakistan? In this race, Pakistan were the second most favourites to win the World Cup next year in the United Kingdom. They received 25.37 percent of the total votes and the fact that they won the Champions Trophy in the same country in 2017 is giving them an edge. Though the Men in Green weren’t up to the mark in the Asia Cup, they are certainly a force to reckon with. As far as India are concerned, they found support from 21.19 percent of votes and they were the third favourite team among the ten which will battle in the mega event. However, none of the other teams were even considered much by the fans as less than 5 percent of the fans felt that they will perform well in the World Cup. Surprisingly, Australia were the fourth with 3.86 percent votes while the likes of South Africa, New Zealand and Windies followed them.
