Challenges:
Australia are the defending champions and are one of the favourites to win the tournament again. They have a strong batting lineup and a bowling attack that can be dangerous in all conditions.
England are another team that will be challenging for the title. They have a balanced squad with a number of world-class players.
India is the host and will be under a lot of pressure to perform well. They have a very talented team, but they need to be more consistent.
New Zealand are always a tough team to beat in World Cups. They have a well-balanced squad and are very good at playing as a team.
Pakistan are another team that can challenge for the title. They have a very talented batting lineup and a bowling attack that can be dangerous on their day.
South Africa has a good team, but they have not been able to perform well in World Cups in recent years. They need to find a way to get over the line in big games.
Sri Lanka are a rebuilding team and are not expected to challenge for the title. However, they have a number of talented players who can cause problems.
