Australia, West Indies, South Africa and India are strong contenders.
Factors helping India -
The best indian team going for the World Cup after the 1983 Presidential Cup. India has found good openers in Ganguly and Uthappa, with Sehwag in there too. Yuvraj, Dravid, Dhoni and Tendulkar steady the middle order to form one of the best middle order batting. Lower middle order of Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer can hit a few runs too.
As on bowling - Zaheer and Sreesanth/Munaf Patel will be opening and are not as bad. Kumble, Harbhajan and Sachin - Sehwag can bowl many spin overs between them. That leaves one guy extra. He can be employed as a strike bowler - Irfan/Sreesanth or Dinesh Kaarthick as the 11th guy. Irfan can bat as well.
It is a very powerful batting line-up, and make take a beating on their bowling lineup.
Quality Fielders are in plenty - Yuvraj, Uthappa, Sachin, Kaarthick. Fielders like Munaf Patel will have to be hided on the field.
There are all winning chances for India. India will reach the semi-finals for sure.

Since cricket is a game of uncertainties as has been proved on many occasions, nothing can be predicted for sure about the outcomke of a tournament in advance.
While South Africa and Australia are hot favourites top win the world cup, even their victory cannot be guaranteed as the present form does not matter and what matters is the form during the world cup. Whichever country play to their potential consistently stand a chance to win the world cup. As it stands all the top 8 teams sgtand a chance to win the world cup.

considering cricket is a recreation of uncertainties as has been proved on type of activities, no longer some thing would properly be envisioned for particular about the most suitable effect of the international Cup. Even pondering the present type of communities, winner of the international Cup can not be envisioned because the most suitable effect will count number on the performance in the course of the international cup and not in any respect the present form. because it stands now each and each and every of the right 8 communities stand a probability to win the international cup. Whichever crew performs to their ability continually in the course of the international cup must be the most suitable winners of the international cup.

I didn't think that india has a chance but after watching the ODI last night I think if india reaches the semi-finals then it has a clear shot at the world cup. With Dhoni and Yuvraj in the middle order things look pretty good for india at the moment.

The way things are going it's wide open
2 weeks ago I would have said no one could touch Australia, but if NZ win another game in the current series they are not even No ODI team 1 team in the rankings.
Oz, NZ, England, the rebuilt Windies, all are in with a shout
