One player is enough to tilt the game in your favour in the world cup. Keeping this in mind all test match playing countries have a good chance in winning the world cup ! Logically speaking, the team with the largest number of match winners ( impact players ) have a higher percentage of winning. India has : Sachin, Shewag, Yuvraj, Yusuf & Harbhajan. Srilanka : Sangakara, Jayawardhene, Malinga Australia : Watson, Hussey England : Peterson, Morgan South Africa : Amla, Devilliers, Steyn, Morkel Pakisthan : Afridi, Umar Gul New Zealand : Mcullum, Taylor It looks like India, South Africa & Sri-Lanka have the highest chances of winning.

I think India and Sri Lanka are favorites to win this world cup since it will be in their own backyard.

South Africa is lacking a match killer like Klusener. Their fast bowlers will find it difficult to bowl in Indian subcontinent. And I won't be surprised if Bangladesh causes few upsets.

Hi Smart, The WORLD CUP is set to begin in India on 19th of February.This mega event is hosted in three countries India,Bangladesh and Srilanka.I think all the top 5 teams have the chances of winning the WORLD CUP.My favorite team is India because it is my home country.I would love to support it.But I think Australia and Srilanka have more chances of winning the WORLD CUP.The Indians need to play well to win the trophy.

Indian part timers will hold the key as they allow to play extra batsman and on slow sub-continent pitches that will make India as favourites. They did well even in SA. specially Yuvraj singh's left arm spin was quite useful. A batting lineup consisting of Sehwag Sachin Gambhir Kohli Yuvraj Dhoni Pathan is a match winning powerful line-up.

they can be ripped apart in front of strong opposition, and have proved it many times still with south africa:)
