India as hosts of ODI World Cup 2023, will be looking forward to play the upcoming edition which is set to happen in October-November at different venues at home. A lot has been expected from Team India in the upcoming ODI world Cup which would start in a period of around 50 days, but the team's performance has been disappointing in recent times and not encouraging as an Indian fan.

Considering all these things, can India win the ODI World Cup title for third time? Here, we will have a look at three reasons that make India favourites to lift the 50-over World Cup.

India will be playing all their matches at their home venue which will be a huge advantage for them compared to other teams. Notably India will face tough teams like Australia, Pakistan at early stage of tournament itself and they will play weaker sides like Sri Lanka, Netherlands in the last leg of the league stage which will help them to keep their qualifications for the semi-finals cautiously as they will also know the margin needed to defeat these teams if they lag behind in the net run-rate.
