Team India is considered to be the top contender to win the 2023 Cricket World Cup with their exceptional form, strong lineup, and record at home. However, it is important to note that India's record against five elite teams in World Cup matches is not as impressive as some might think.
England is heavy:
India has lost four matches against England in World Cup matches, while it has only three wins to its name. Both the teams played a tied match in the 2011 World Cup. England's strong team and previous World Cup wins make them a formidable opponent.

Australia-New Zealand is also heavy:
India's record against Australia is not very good, India has won only four times against Australia, whereas Australia has won eight times in World Cup matches. New Zealand also has the upper hand against India with five wins, although India has managed to achieve three wins. Australia and New Zealand have consistently performed better than India in World Cup competitions.

South Africa-Sri Lanka are no less.
South Africa has been victorious against India in three out of five World Cup matches, while India has won two. There has been a close contest between Sri Lanka and India, Sri Lanka has won four matches and India has also won four matches. This shows the most balanced rivalry between the two teams in World Cup history.
It is noteworthy that India's record against Afghanistan, Netherlands, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and other teams in this World Cup is quite favorable, with India often emerging victorious. So while India is undoubtedly a strong contender, they will face stiff competition from these five teams in the upcoming World Cup.
