ICC Cricket worlcup 2011.... So far

In This article I would like to discuss what was happen in past few days in the world cup and what will be the feature.

As we all know 2011 ICC Cricket world cup is Held in Asia (India,Srilanka,Bangaladesh)and In those countries we can find lot of people who love cricket.

The First Match, Held between Bangaladesh and India. Then every day we had a Cricket match.

I think you all will agree with me that we have closed matches and lot of teams performs well. So in this article I’m going to discussed about current points table and how it be looks like in the feature.

Still it is difficult to predict but we can get some idea.

So I will discussed the situation till 2011.03.11

So we will move on to Group A.

The points Table of Group A

	Team	Pld	W	L	T	NR	NRR	Pts
	Srilanka	5	3	1	0	1	+2.705	7
	NewZeland	4	3	1	0	0	+1.848	6
	Pakistan	4	3	1	0	0	+0.760	6
	Australia	3	2	0	0	1	+1.813	5
	Zimbabwe	4	1	3	0	0	−0.690	2
	Canada	4	1	3	0	0	−2.083	2
	Kenya	4	0	4	0	0	−3.403	0

So When We look at it we can clearly see top four teams will be Qualified for the Next Round.

If Zimbabwe or Canada wins there Remaining two matches and Australia or Pakistan lost there all matches this may change. But it has very less probability.

So the Most important thing is how the places will go in Group A.

I will take top four teams. Here I’m imagining they all beat other three teams.

So points table looks like,

	Sl	Nz	Aus	Pak
Sl		9,7
Nz	8,10
Aus				11,9
Pak			8,10

(Wins marked Red)

Srilanka(2^nd or fourth)

That means Srilanka can’t go to the first place. Here I’m talking about the normal situation and assuming that everything looks ok. If there will be a rain for above matches this may change.

And if they lost to NewZeland they are at the fourth place.

If they win the NZ match most of the time they are at the 2^nd place. If Pakistan wins the Australia match srilanka and Australia have equal points.

In this time Net Run Rate Come in to play.

Read more abou NetRun Rate

But srilanka has 2+ run rate and if it a win this will be plus and if Australia lost it will be minus.

Australia (1^st or 3^rd)

If Aussis win there game they will go to the first place and if they lost they have to look at the Sl vs NZ result.

If NZ wins they are at the 3^rd place and sl wins net run rate come in to play.

But as I told earlier if it happens, srilanka will go ahead. Then Aussis have to stay at 3^rd place

Pakistan

If they win Australia game they have to look at Sl vs NZ match.

If Sl wins they are at the first place and if Sl lost they will equal with NZ.

Here NZ is led by 1 point now.so if they win Sl match it will be plus. So Pakistan has to beat Aussis by distance while Nz gets a close win.

Here in subcontinent NZ can’t have a big win against srilanka. Because there all top order batsmen are in runs and ballers also doing good job. So it will be a close match.

Also it is difficult to get a big win against Aussis. So If NZ and Pakistan gets equal marks NZ will be at the top. They are at the 2^nd place.

We think they lost to Australia,

Then if Nz wins they are at 3^rd place and srilanka wins they are at the fourth place. But if srilanka win in style and Pakistan has a close game they will be at 3^rd place and otherwise fourth place.

All four places are available for Pakistan.

NewZeland

If they win against srilanka and Pakistan wins Australia match NZ will come to the top. If Aussis win their match NZ will go to 2^nd place.

If they lost badly to srilanaka and Australia beats Pakistan in close match NZ go to the bottom and else Pakistan will go to the bottom.

Tomorrow I will put my idea about next games in detail.

Then I will go to Group B

It is very difficult to tell.it is very difficult to select the Qualifying teams

Team	Pld	W	L	T	NR	NRR	Pts
India	4	3	0	1	0	+0.992	7
West Indies	4	3	1	0	0	+2.206	6
England	5	2	2	1	0	+0.013	5
South Africa	3	2	1	0	0	+1.754	4
Bangladesh	4	2	2	0	0	–1.241	4
Ireland	4	1	3	0	0	–0.444	2
Netherlands	4	0	4	0	0	–2.728	0

First we talk what are the qualifying Teams.

If bangalidesh able to beat Netherland they have a real chance. If Westindies lost to England,india and  they will get 6 points. Then net run rate will come in to play. So the if WI have good run rate if they lost all 3 matches their rate will go down.

Bangalidesh have to beat netherland to get 6 points and so +ve run rate.so they only need to have a close match with South Africa. If they can have a big win against Netherland they will be at the next round and West Indies will out.

If West Indies Beat England and bangalidesh have 6 points England has to go.

If West Indies beats india and England beats west indies then England have 7, west indies have 8

Then if South Africa beats bangalidesh and Ireland they have 8.if india beats south Africa india have 9.

Then bangalidesh has to go.

So England vs Westindies match is the key match. In most of the time looser will be out.

But we cann’t underestimate Ireland. If they beat Nethrland and South Africa this contest will be widely open.

India is the only teams that don’t have a risk. All other teams have risk. If South Africa can’t wins against bangalidesh or Ireland they are in a trouble.

India vs South Africa match will help to take some assumptions about group.

I think it’s too early for a conclution for group B.

I will tell it in summary form,

If England loose they are out

If westindies loose both matches and bangalidesh win against Netherland they have a chance

If Ireland wins both matches they have a chance and this will be very open.

So tomorrow I will put another article on current situation and how the teams perform so far.

I think this article will help you to get some idea about team standing.so keep in touch with this blog and get more news.
