Having beefed up its batting in the last four years after an ignominious exit at the league stage of the 2015 ICC World Cup, the English are the favourites for the cricketing event starting May 30. The bookies are also keen on India which is rated as the second-most likely team to win the prestigious cricket tournament; defending champions Australia are third on the list.

At this point, the bookies are given the highest odds for Sri Lanka.
