Since it's a league based WC, you have to be utterly consistent and extremely fit to win the cup. Bench-strength, power hitting on flat tracks will also come into play. We lag in these.
I don't see BAN win more than 4 matches. Even if we beat WI & SL, we will then lose to AFG. We will then pump up and may win 1 or 2 matches against PAK/NZ/IND/SA. 3 things need to sort out:
1. Batting order and first 11
2. Power batting + tale-ender batting strength
3. Wrapping up opposition when we do get through the top & middle-order
ENG and IND seem to be more consistent and balanced team. No surprise there that they will start as fav.
