“All the big teams have lived up to their billing and England will be desperate to get off to a flyer,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.

The dismal showing in Brisbane from England’s batsmen has prompted the bookies to ease Andrew Strauss’s men for their trip to the sub-Continent.

David Williams of Ladbrokes said: “The evidence since the New Year is that England are there for the taking. They’re desperately out of form and we’re eager to take them on.”

England are the same price as Australia to win the trophy. India are the 7/2 favourites but Pakistan are the market movers into 8/1 following a five-figure bet struck at the weekend.

“We laid a chunky bet on Pakistan at 12s and they’re into single figures” added Williams.

Ladbrokes – ODI World Cup:

7/2 India
4/1 Sri Lanka
5/1 England
5/1 South Africa
5/1 Australia
8/1 Pakistan (from 12/1)
