Australia are 7/4 with William Hill in the outright betting for the Women’s Cricket World Cup.

The number one ranked team in the world, Meg Lanning’s Southern Stars will be aiming to maintain their status at the top of the tree. They have a brilliant 87 per cent winning percentage at Women’s World Cups, though face a tricky start to their campaign on June 26 when they take on 2016 T20 world champions the West Indies in Taunton.

The West Indies, losing finalists in 2013, will bank on the explosive talent of Stafanie Taylor, who finished as the second-highest run-scorer of the last competition with 314 runs. They also have the hard-hitting Deandra Dottin among their mixture of youth and experience and will be a threat to all at a general 10/1 if they can transfer their T20 success in the 50-over game.

India are 13/2 with William Hill are arrive in excellent form. They recently won a quadrangular series against South Africa, Ireland and Zimbabwe and captain Mithali Raj is currently ranked second in the ODI batting rankings. Jhulan Goswami recently became the leading wicket-taker in women’s ODIs and is another key player.

New Zealand captain Suzie Bates is hoping experience will help the White Ferns achieve only a second World Cup outright victory. She will rack up her 100th appearance for her country during this year’s World Cup and was part of the New Zealand team that lost the 2009 final to England. She was the top scorer in the last World Cup in 2013 and was awarded Players Of The Series. Twelve of her 15-strong squad played in last year’s T20 World Cup and a number have experience of English conditions so the 7/1 in places looks some value, though England are expected to be the main threat to the Aussies.

Home advantage should not be underestimated and it’s a massive boost that the hosts’ captain, Heather Knight, is fully fit again. England have a phenomenal record when hosting major tournaments, winning the World Cup in 1993 and the T20 World Cup in 2009. Ticket sales suggest they are guaranteed strong support in the group staes and it’s impossible to think that they won’t be one of the four semi-finalists. At that stage, everything is up for grabs and England can still backed at 5/2.
