The Defending Champions will be starting as favourite again for the cup, they have lost to Australia recently and might their confidence will be down but still they have a really good squad to start, their are some X Factor players in them which can be match winners for them I think they are obvious for the semis.

Last World Cup runner-up India always start as a Dark horse, they never start as favourite and then at end they are found playing the finals, this time also same India will not be starting as favourite, yes there are many match winner in team but they lack consistency and bowling is weak and that we are seeing now in the series against New Zealand where they are unable to defend 280s. Likes of Harmanpreet Kaur, Shefali Verma they have been in not a good form in recent times. 

Players to watch out for -

Shefali Verma
Smriti Mandhana 
Harmanpreet Kaur.

They will start as favourite of favourite and will play Final unless dramatically something bad happens, they lost to India In semi finals in 2017 world cup due to harmanpreet carnage of 175. Their full team is of match winners and might end winning the cup as they have just lost 1 one day match in last 4 years that's truly amazing.
