Groups in World cup Cricket 2011

Cricket world cup 2011 which starts on Feb 19th 2011, is the biggest event of cricket for the year. There are a total of 14 nations playing for the prestigious trophy.

Indian Team who won the world cup back in 1983 would be looking to win the tournament. Indian team with this last few tournament's performance are a tough contender for the trophy. This probably would be the last world cup for the great batsmen Sachin Tendulkar and He would be very keen on making this a memorable one for the entire nation. Australians who are the defending champions would be looking to make their success count to five, although there recent form does not make them the favorites. West Indies who one the first two world cups are no more in good shape for pulling the world cup. Pakistan and Srilanka who have won once each are also the good teams and may give other teams a good fight for this trophy. England and South Africa who never have had the chance of lifting this trophy in past are both looking very good.

All in all this will be a great tournament and all the teams would give their best in this mega event of cricket.
