scheduled to take place at the Shere Bangla National www.livehindustan.co m
Stadium, Mirpur in Bangladesh on 17 February 2011.
The same venue will host the opening game of the
tournament between Bangladesh and India on 19 Group
February. Out of total 49 matches in the tournament, Accommodation
India will host highest 29 games including a quarter Fully serviced, self

12 matches including a quarter final as well as a www.billsbe st.co .za
semi final, while Bangladesh will stage 8 games
including 2 quarter finals. Except the opening game,
India will play all of their group stage matches at
home; while Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will play the
group stage matches in front of their home crowd.

India will host its first match on 20 February when

Kenya and New Zealand will face each other at the
MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk in Chennai. The
first game in Sri Lanka will be held on the same day
at Hambantota where Sri Lankan team will take on
Canada. Pakistan was one of the co-hosts of the
tournament initially, but was stripped off the host
status on security ground by ICC. Pakistan will play
all of their matches in Sri Lanka unless they reach

the semi final. If Pakistan can get into the last four
of the tournament, they have to travel to India.

Tournament Venues
All of the 49 matches will be held in 13 different
venues across the three countries. Except two new
venues in Sri Lanka (Hambantota and Pallekele), the
rest of them are test venues including India’s 8 well-
known test grounds. Here, I am giving the names of
the venues:

Format of the Tournament

There are 14 teams who will be participating in the
tournament including 10 test playing nations and 4
associate member countries. The test playing teams
have automatically qualified for the tournament,
while the 4 associate members have come through
the qualifying tournament held in South Africa earlier
this year. The four associate members are: Ireland,
Canada, Netherlands and Kenya.
The format of ICC World Cup 2011 is not same to
that of the previous world cup that took place in
West Indies in 2007. All of the 14 teams are divided
into two groups of 7 teams each. In the group stage,
each team will play against all other group members
once in a round robin league system.

In 2007 world cup, there was a ‘Super Eight’ phase

involving 8 teams who qualified through group stage, Enter your email address:
and four best teams from ‘Super Eight’ progressed to
the semi final. However, there is no super eight

finals scheduled to take place on 23 March, 24 March,
25 March and 26 March. That means knock out stage
starts just after the group stage. Four winners of the

tournament. The winners of the semi finals will meet
each other in the tournament final at the Wankhede
Stadium, Mumbai on 2 April 2009. mehdi

The probable reason behind the format change is
Razib Ahmed
perhaps to ensure that each of the participating
teams play at least 6 games even if they fail to
qualify for the quarter final. Last year, two test
playing nations: India and Pakistan- failed to reach Sitemeter
the ‘Super Eight’ round and had to go back home,
having played only 2 matches. The early exit of the
two cricket powerhouses caused huge loss for the TV
Privacy Policy
channels, sponsors as well as for those who bought
time slots for TV commercials beforehand to promote
their products. That is why, ICC has now ensured
that each of the teams will play at least 6 games in
the 2011 tournament.

their groups go.And the fact that every team will play atleast 6
matches is wonderful.

those who want yuvi to be out should look at themselves but

no has the right to comment against a player who has scored
7500 runs in his carrer i think india will be the champs in this
world cup and yuvi - dhoni partnership will be the most crucial
and excited one
