It was a nail-biting contest involving two sides that could not be separated, and was the first World Cup to be decided by a super over.<\/p>\n<p>Buttler was involved in the game and title-winning run out on the final ball of the match to see England crowned world champions for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, England will start their title defence against their opponents from that day four years ago, New Zealand, in the first match of the main stage of the tournament, on 5 October, at the largest cricket ground in the world \u2013 the 134,000 capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.<\/p>\n<p>Buttler believes India are the favourites for the tournament, but with their side of cricketing stars and status as the No 1 ranked one-day international side, the hosts will be under pressure to perform.<\/p>\n<h3>Recommended<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/03\/03\/10\/45899fedda2335fcf03320d80b0619a0Y29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjc3OTIzNjY3-2.67998143.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/29\/10\/10859825.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/static.independent.co.uk\/2023\/09\/04\/18\/419f64f1ee1c01078bbfd2fc327b64eeY29udGVudHNlYXJjaGFwaSwxNjkzOTEyNjE4-2.73548329.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there was more pressure on us being at home and being favourites,\u201d Buttler told <em>The Independent<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCertainly, we don\u2019t feel any pressure as defending champions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re at the start of the tournament trying to win it, we\u2019re in the same boat as every other side in the competition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Buttler added: \u201c[We are] in the same boat as everyone trying to go there and win the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think everyone has strong squads, and I see India as favourites in their own conditions and I see a lot of other strong teams as well who want to win the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The hugely experienced Buttler has already led his side to World Cup glory, at last year\u2019s T20 World Cup in Australia, but the 50-over competition is different.
