According to the above listed point table, we would find the point details of every team in ICC World Cup 2019. Though the tournament is yet to start and so, we will update the point table as soon as the tournament start.
The group stage of ICC World Cup 2019 will be according to round robin where each team will play nine group stage matches. So, total 45 matches will be played in group stage where each team will play against nine other teams. Among them top four teams will get chance to play the knockout round. The same format was used in last 1992 Cricket World Cup when team Pakistan got the 1st title of ICC World Cup. They defeated England in final in 1992. So, could Pakistan able to repeat this time. Time will answer that.
If we consider the current ICC ranking, we can see that team England is holding the 1st position there. They were in 2nd position where team India grabbed it for long. But recently team England beat India by 2 – 1 games at the home venue an so, they reclaim the first position of ICC ODI ranking after long time. As the host nation, they have the chance to win ICC World Cup 2019. India is holding the 2nd position of ICC ranking. The ranking would not help in World Cup 2019 and so, every team has to fight to the last to manage a place among top four.

However, from the broadcasting rights, ICC used to earn very handsome amount though they have very large amount of casting due to the tournament purpose. So, this is a very good source of earning.
PRIZE MONEY
- Winner – $4.8 million
- Runner Up – $2.2 million
- Two Losing Semi finalists – $1 million (each)
- 8 Eliminated teams from group stages – $500,000 (each)
- Winning group stage match – $50,000 (for every group match win)
- Total – $14 million
According to the above listed statistics, we can see the complete prize money details of ICC WC 2019. Since the last tournament, the prize money is increased far more.

Since the World Cup 2003, the handsome amount was given to the participating teams. But back then the amount was too poor considering the current situation. The winner received $2 million in 2003 where the runner up team pocketed $800,000. In 2007, it was increased a little. The winner received $2.4 million this time. But in 2011, the amount was increased handsomely. The winner was awarded with $3.2 million prize money. The total amount was $8 million back then. In last season of ICC World Cup 2015, the total prize money was $10 million which was more than double than 2003 World Cup. But in upcoming season of the tournament, the prize money will break all the records.

Here we present above the top run scorers list of ICC World Cup 2019. As soon as the tournament will begin, we will update the list here.
If we consider top potential batsmen in upcoming WC 2019, we must admit the name of Indian skipper Virat Kohli. He is currently standing on the top position on the top batsmans list. He is very dangerous batsman for all the opponents. After little master Sachin Tendulkar, Kohli has already made his place in Indian team as the most worthy player in recent time being. He is the player for big match and he has a chance to hold as one of the top five position in most run scorers list.
Besides, we have some more Indian players like Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul etc. English batsmen are not so behind than them as well. They have Alastair Cook, Eoin Morgan, Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler and some others. Team New Zealand has Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill where Guptill was the most run scorer in the last season of ICC World Cup. He would do better this time as well. Proteas has Du Plessis, De Villiers, Amla, De Kock and some others. However, Bangladesh also has Tamim Iqbal the most talented and potential player of the team. Pakistan has some young talents in the squad like Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam and Imam.
Besides, there are some more players which are yet to get focused but they will try their best to do better in ICC World Cup 2019 so far.
If we consider the last season’s top scorers, along with Martin Guptill there were Sri Lanka player Kumar Sangakkara, Proteas player AB de Villiers, Zimbabwe top order Brendan Taylor and Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan holding the top five position. Couple of players among them would not take part in upcoming ICC World Cup 2019 like Sangakkara who took retirement from international cricket.

As stated by the above listed statistics, we can see at a glance about the most wicket takers in ICC World Cup 2019 though the list is currently empty. As soon as the tournament will start, the list we be updated.
- Visit ICC official website for more details – www.icc-cricket.com
If we consider the most potential bowlers, most teams have couple of top rated bowlers. Like Bangladesh has cutter master Mustafiz. If the Tigers made it to the semi final, he would be on the list of most wicket taker bowlers. Pakistan has Mohammad Amir and Hasan Ali where team India has Umesh Yadav who made it to the last season tournament. He took 18 wickets in ICC World Cup 2015 and placed on the 3rd position so far. Besides, they also have Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah. Team Australia has Andrew Tye but hopefully Mitchell Starc will be added later. Starc took highest 22 wickets in last World Cup and grabbed the first position of most wicket taker bowlers. South Africa also has couple of top rated bowlers like Kagiso Rabada, Ngidi and so on.
In last season Aussie bowler Mitchell Starc grabbed the 1st position of most wicket taker bowlers. He played eight matches as well as eight innings and took 22 wickets highest. His best bowling figure in the tournament was six wickets in exchange for 28 runs. He led his team to the title it seems in the last time. Black Caps bowler Trent Boult also took 22 wickets but he played more matches. He made 9 matches as well as 9 innings appearances and took the wickets. His best figure was 5 wickets in exchange for 27 runs. Indian bowler Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami took position 3rd and 4th. Yadav took 18 wickets and Shami took 17 wickets os far. Proteas bowler Morne Morkel also took 17 wickets but he played more match than Shami and so, he was placed on the 5th position so far.
So, it would be tough to predict the most wicket taker bowlers in ICC World Cup 2019 so early. Like before any participating bowlers could become very destructive there.

It seems that CWC started their journey in 1975 when the very first season of World Cup took place. England and Australia are the two oldest teams in cricket history and so, the very first season of the World Cup hosted in England. Team England arranged the ICC World Cup first three seasons. The upcoming WC 2019 would be the 5th times that team England is going to arrange it at their home venue.
If we look to the above list where we have presented the past winners list of ICC World Cup, we can see the most unfortunate things. Team ENgland yet to touch the ultimate title of ICC WC though they are one of the two oldest team in cricket. In every times they started the tournament as one of the hot favourite but finally ruled out from knockout rounds.
In first season of CWC, team Australia managed it to the final and they faced West Indies there. Against the Windies team, Australia did not get victory but the first title was won by team West Indies. They won the ICC WC consecutive twice times where in 1979 they won the title for the 2nd times. This time they beat local team England in final. In 1983, the World Cup seen a new winner. And this time also team West Indies managed it to the final but against India, they failed to get the victory. The 4th edition of World Cup hosted at India and Pakistan and both local teams managed it to the semi final but against England and Australia the local two teams faced defeat from semi final. Australia and England played final in 1983 where Australia beat England in final and took their first title.
In 1992, team Pakistan made this possible. This time Australia and New Zealand hosted the tournament. Team Pakistan won the title for the first time. England faced Pakistan in the final of 1992 and Pakistan got the victory.
It was the 5th episode of the tournament which was officially known as Benson & Hedges World Cup 1992. Pakistan team was very balanced that time where Imran Khan led the team to victory. Team Pakistan scored 249 runs where Imran Khan scored 72 runs highest. Team England lost all wickets in 227 runs and so they faced defeat by 22 runs so far. The 6th version of World Cup executed in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka where Sri Lanka played final against Australia and won the first title. The following next season in 1999, Australia played final against Pakistan. Pakistan played brilliantly all the season but in final they faced batting disaster and so, Australia won the tournament easily. In 2003 and 2007 Australia won the title and the it was the era of Australia. They dominated the international cricket in the period. In 2011, India won the title for the 2nd time. They beat the Lions in final. In 2015 the tournament executed in Australia and New Zealand and both teams played final. Australia beat Black Caps in final and won the 5th World Cup title so far.
Like 1992, the same formation is going to use in upcoming CWC 2019. So, would Pakistan repeat the things one more time or it will be just a history that is a big question.

If we consider the possible winner of this tournament, we must consider the name of England for the first time. Team England yet to touch the title of World Cup though in every season, they started it as the hot favourite. This will be the 5th times that they are going to host the tournament but this time they are the most potential and most balanced team ever. Their performance is also good. Recently they destroyed India and Australia at their home venue which are the two superpower teams right now.

We must consider the team India as well. They are very powerful and has very strong batting and bowling sides. Lead by Virat Kohli team India has the chance to win the title as well. They recently visited England where they have not much good memory but the experiences would help them no doubt. They could face defeat against England and Australia at the condition in England and Wales. India used to play dangerous at the home venue but abroad they are must weaker.
Australia and Pakistan are the two potential teams there where Australia is standing on the 4th position and Pakistan is holding the 5th position on ICC ODI ranking in recent time. Besides, at the condition in England and Wales, we must add South Africa and New Zealand. They could be very dangerous opponent there.
According to all calculations, we take four teams to the knockout phase which are England, India, Australia and Pakistan. The knockout phase is the semi final where India would play against Pakistan and Australia would play against England. India would get victory if the calculation is true and Australia would be ruled out from the semi final. England and India will play final, according to the calculation where England would win the first ICC World Cup title in 2019.
