Posted by afif 8:24 AM, under | No comments

The 2011 edition of the World Cup will be played in the Indian sub-continent from February 19. There are 14 teams involved in the competition and they are distributed into two groups of seven each with the round-robin in each group deciding which four going ahead into the quarter-finals.

There will be 49 matches in the tournament and one can see all the World Cup 2011 games live on ESPN and Star Cricket. However, if you are one those who are inclined to watch the games from the stadium, live, then the sports tickets for such events can be easily purchased from the various websites online.
What makes the tournament a tad putting off is the fact that the league games are meant to only decide on the ranks – there are only nine of them who are really vying for the eight quarter-final spots.
India will be one of the favourites going into the tournament, with the likes of Sri Lanka, South Africa and Australia being equally hopeful of winning it. England will be the dark horse.
The final will be played on April 1.

GROUP A Teams:
Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Canada
GROUP B Teams:
India, South Africa, England and the West Indies. Netherlands, Ireland and Bangladesh
