Will Team India be able to win the ICC tournament?

The upcoming World Cup is very important for Team India because since 2013, the team has not won any ICC tournament. In the last two World Cups, Team India has lost in the semi-finals. In 2015 and 2019, the Indian team lost the match in the semi-finals after excellent performance. This time the fans would be hoping that such a mistake does not happen.

Who will be the contender for the title?

Now the tournament is being held in India, so obviously Team India will be a big contender for the title, but along with this the England team also has the power to win the World Cup. England defeated New Zealand in the final in the year 2019. After this, this team also won the 2022 T20 World Cup. It is clear that the strength of England's limited overs cricket has increased a lot. Apart from England, Australia and New Zealand are also ahead in the race to win the title.
