As I told there were total 11 World Cup played so far from it, Australia has won 5 times which is an unbelievable thing, West Indies won 2 times, India also has won 2 times, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have won 1 time each. recently last World Cup was won by Australia. before that team never Won the World Cup who hosted it but since last 2 times, that team has won the World Cup who hosted it so things changed in past 2 world cup because that thing never happened before. if we going to see from overall matches of recent time and team performance than England have maximum chances to win this World Cup 2019 because they are hosting it as well as their team is so good and favorite for it but we can't say anything as most of the time upsets happen and favorite teams not even reach to semi-finals or finals and it happens due to pressure of World Cup.

There are top 10 teams qualified for playing world cup and they are Australia, India, Pakistan, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. this time ICC did change some method as some teams thought Associate teams do not deserve to play World Cup as they only want top 10 teams to play it and thus only 10 teams this time. some teams also fear from Associate teams they due to their upset they out from the biggest tournament of cricket. due to this Associate teams now fell bad that they are not part of this tournament and some good teams like Scotland captain said that its hard to keeps player for cricket as they are not playing more and thus their interest is dropping from cricket. before there were group stages where the team divided into 4 groups and then quarter-finals and semi-finals than final but this time each team will play against their 9 opponents and first 4 teams will play semi-finals and then 2 teams will in final so every team looking for first 4 spots and each team will get equal opportunity to prove them.

There are two teams whose past history was not good and they will try to improve there and want to not do it again. one is South Africa and other is Pakistan. we all know how performance down of South Africa in World Cup and they did not perform on the crucial stage of the match. They were in winning position but suddenly they came in losing side and thus they are known for popular tag Choker because they proved it every time while they played World Cup. South Africa was most favorite team since they came back in cricket but never won the world cup and their performance was of bottom level which they want to improve this time.

The second team is Pakistan and it's most interesting battle while both teams play against each other. Pakistan has never beaten India in World Cup so far as whenever these both team met, India won all the match and their record is 100 % win against Pakistan in World Cup. we can say its most important match of the World Cup even more Important then Final because there are different interest in this match as both teams want to win this match because they also think its more important to win this match due to some issues between two teams so Pakistan will definitely go looking for break this record and win this match.
