Probably deserves its own thread since its one of the biggest sporting tournaments in the world in terms of viewership crowds and length

The next two weeks we will have teams final warm up matches including australia's final game in south africa and the group a and b qualifiers with the minnows catching up very rapidly with the rest of the world

favourites would have to be india south africa and the windies who are dangerous in this form of the game with australia just behind

Australia have had a brutal warm up playing against arguably the two best teams in the world in india and south africa and have steadily improved throughout. But they definitely look weaker without starc and an in form faulkner. They have looked promising with the bat but have struggled with the ball

My strongest 11 actually includes a lot of all rounders since they have often done better with the ball
