India have stayed as favourites to win the cricket World Cup since the tournament started.

India are now a best price of 7/4 to win the World Cup with Skybet. Their odds had been drifting but have shortened again thanks to a good win over Australia. However, England showed during the group stage that India are vulnerable if putting a total on the board for the opposition to chase down.

South Africa are 7/2 across most bookmakers on the market. The South Africans are a big power side but again England showed they are vulnerable when put under heavy pressure. South Africa have strolled through the tournament to this point and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond at the business end.

Pakistan have been the most consistent side at the World Cup but they are only a 4/1 outsider to lift the title. This could be due to the fact that they will play India in the semi-final for a place in the final. Pakistan do not have a brilliant record against the Indians over recent times.

Sri Lanka are a 5/1 shot with Bet365 and Skybet. Sri Lanka have the best balanced side at the World Cup but the back up players to their big name stars are vulnerable. Sri Lanka will have to fight and show a good determination if they are to go all the way.

England are 10/1 in most places and New Zealand are a 25/1 shot with Totesport. England have been inconsistent at the World Cup but all of their games have gone right down to the wire. This means England are unlikely to choke when put under pressure. The Kiwis have nothing to lose and if they beat South Africa in the quarter-final, their confidence will be huge.
