The 2011 World Cup is one of the most open in years as the pre-tournament favourites India, South Africa and Sri Lanka will fight it out with dark horses Australia and Pakistan to earn the right to raise the cup at the final on 2nd April 2011 in Mumbai.
The slick opening ceremony got the world cup off with a bang on 17 February 2011 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka. The first match was on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India and Bangladesh facing off in Dhaka, with the final on 2 April 2011 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
The favourites for the tournament are India, Sri Lanka and South Africa with Australia and Pakistan expected to provide stiff competition. This tournament will also be the last world cup for some of the legends of the game: Sachin Tendular, Muttiah Muralitharan, Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting.
Bangladesh, New Zealand and the West Indies are also capable of pulling off an upset as the tournament proper comes alive once these teams make the quarter-finals.
