The Aussies will be one of the favourites in the tournament. They recently defeated India 2-1 in a three match ODI series and the experience could come in handy as it could help to acclimatise with the condition upon their arrival during the World Cup. The perks of playing in the IPL would also boost their chances in the sub continent.
