World Cup Cricket 2011



Yes , It's the World cup time. The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup will be the tenth Cricket World Cup and will be hosted by three South Asian Test cricket playing countries: India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. It will be Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a Cricket World Cup.  The opening ceremony will be held on 17 February 2011 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, two days before the start of the tournament, with the final on 2 April 2011 at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.

But there is a back story behind this. The World Cup was also supposed to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, the ICC decided to strip Pakistan of its hosting rights. That was a sad day for Pakistan cricket. No one wants to play in Pakistan and the terrorists have a sort of victory in this issue.

My prediction - INDIA vs PAKISTAN final.
