There are two groups and Here are the participants from each group

Group 1: England, Bangladesh, Australia and New-Zealand.
Group 2: Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and South Africa.

If one doesn't have a look at the groups, picking the favorites would be Cake Walk.

Favorites: England, South Africa, Australia,  New Zealand

Since England, New Zealand, Australia come from same group, there'll be only 2 of them.

Leaving England out would be hard.

The favorites from Group 1:
England and Australia

The favorites from Group 2:
South Africa and India (Only if Pakistan continue their bad fielding).

If Pakistan continue their bad fielding, their good bowling won't help.

Pakistan are a good team and had some success in English conditions in the Test Matches against the likes Anderson

India's issues: Opening Pair

When India won CT 2013, India had a solid opening and also both were in Fantastic form,
Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan who decimated opposition bowling attacks with ease and flair.
Now, with injured Rohit Sharma and uncertain Shikhar Dhawan, the opening might become an issue.
