We have the biggest event in the Cricket,ICC World Cup2011 and we will have some great matches coming up and one thing is for sure that this year the World Cup wont be as predictable as it has been in last two World Cups as Australia made it to the top and won the both events making it 3 successive World Cups but this time it will be held in Sub Continent and Australia might not be as strong as they have been in the past and India and Sri Lanka will go into the event as the favorites to win the big prize.
As we all know that Pakistan won the first Quarter final from West Indies on 23rd of March 2011 and India beaten Australia on 24th of this month. Now its turn to see the 3rd Quarter final on March 25th Friday, betweenNew Zealand and South Africa at 14:00 at Shere Bangla National Stadium Dhaka, and 4th Quarter final on March 26th Saturday betweenSri Lanka and England at 14:30 at R. Premadasa Stadium Colombo.
Let see which team comes up for the 1st Semifinal. 2nd Semifinal will be played between Pakistan and India on 30th of March. Here is some brief description of remaining teams in the world cup.
INDIA: Widely known for their aggressiveness , this team has a unique mixture of young and old players, their batting is their strength ,Indians are known to tear teams apart mercilessly in ODI games, but it is their bowling and fielding department which may cost them the cup.
PAKISTAN: The team is known for its fearlessness and aggressive bowling, Pakistan has a formidable bowling and batting lineup, and when this team has its day the opposition might better start running away, their major weakness till now is rift among the players and allegations flying around in media which are easily distracts.
SOUTH AFRICA: This team is known as chokers in major ICC tournaments, sometimes they were unlucky in previous world cups or just threw the game away, south Africans are great in batting and fielding and their bowling has got the firepower to scare away the opposition.
ENGLAND: This team is good in bowling and fielding departments but their batting relies too much on Kevin Peterson, also they generally lose in high scoring matches though the team beat Australia and Bangladesh recently its highly unlikely they will win the world cup.
SRILANKA: One of the possible winners of the World cup, these gentlemen have the unique ability to snatch away games from their oppositions, they are fit in every department and can win the cup, also they are the greatest hurdle for India in this cup.
NEW ZEALAND: The team which you call as the gentlemen team, they are not that aggressive but are silent assassins, fielding and bowling are their strengths and they have a decent batting lineup too, but they don't play too many games, and the team lacks the required match practice.
This article is totally based on my views.
My best for finals are: Pakistan and South Africa.
