India have beaten all before them to get to the semi-final stage unscathed and rightly are the big favourites to win this year's World Cup with many of the leading Cricket World Cup betting apps, with five-time winners Australia and South Africa distant second favourites and face each other in the second semi-final after India won all nine of their group games.ĭefending champions England crashed out of the tournament after a disastrous showing. In 2011, India won their third title when they hosted the tournament with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
In 1987, the nation shared the tournament with Pakistan and in 1996, the two great cricket nations were joined by Sri Lanka in hosting the competition. This year's Cricket World Cup has been the first ever that India were the sole host of the tournament in the 50-over format.
