1)This time Australia don't seem to have much chance as their performance has been fragile after the retirement of key players but then you can't forget that they are world champions and they can pull it out any day and by far out of all teams (except asian teams) they have best record in sub-continent .

2) South Africa and New zealand
By looking at history and going by the facts both team don't have any chance as both teams always failed to win pressure games .South Africa in all world-cups have almost knocked out atleast 3-4 times out of semi-finals

3) Bangladesh
No chance apparently,

4) Pakistan

On paper and by looking at the team formation no chance but everyone knows they can pull-out when they are rated under-dogs and stand no chance.Example 92 world-cup and then T-20 world-cup

5) West indies
Similar to Pakistan they can shock everyone by becoming hero from zero

6) Sri-lanka and India

If going by stats that say "never ever a team which hosted the world-cup have ever won through-out the cricketing history " they both have very less probability .but if you ignore that fact they both have very good chance atleats on paper

7) Engalnd
there performance have dramatically improved since last couple of years ,they also shocked the world by grabbing t-20 world-cup and winning 2 ashes on the trot but the big question mark is how will they perform in sub-continent as their performance here has always been fragile

Half-true. They won in Pakistan, but they were also hosting the world cup.

But I don't buy this notion that just because no team has won at home before, it can't happen now. Just because it hasn't happen yet, doesn't mean it can't happen.

So, if Sri Lanka or Bangladesh win the WC this time, does that still mean that no host would have won the tournament?

Going by the stats RSA also has little chance to win ,they are so good in choking in the major tournaments.

Eden gardens ruled out, indeed sad.

 

[Moorkh]

i wish kenya wins the WC. the ultimate underdog story

 

[Masterchief]

@moorkh: maybe kenya isnt playing this time.

The world cup is drawing nearer and speculations have just started as to who will win let us rate the teams.
AUSTRALIA: Critics wrote this team off in 2008 when surprise retirements of Mcgrath and Gilcrist took place however the team has come along very well since then with a new pace battery and trademark batsmen Aussies will certainly settle for nothing less than a win however consistency is becoming a problem to this team, they can no longer withstand pressure situations.
BANGLADESH: They are known as the surprise killers , they may not be favorites but they have the firepower to send a top team back.
INDIA:Widely known for their aggressiveness , this team has a unique mixture of young and old players, their batting is their strength ,Indians are known to tear teams apart mercilessly in ODI games, but it is their bowling and fielding department which may cost them the cup.
PAKISTAN :The team is known for its fearlessness and aggressive bowling, Pakistan has a formidable bowling and batting lineup, and when this team has its day the opposition might better start running away, their major weakness till now is rift among the players and allegations flying around in media which are easy distractors
SOUTH AFRICA: This team is known as chokers in major ICC tournaments , sometimes they were unlucky in previous worldcups or just threw the game away, southafricans are great in batting and fielding and their bowling has got the firepower to scare away the opposition.
ENGLAND : This team is good in bowling and fielding departments but their batting relies too much on Kevin Peterson ,also they generally lose in high scoring matches though the team beat Australia and Bangladesh recently its highly unlikely they will win the worldcup.
SRILANKA: One of the possible winners of the Worldcup, these gentlemen have the unique ability to snatch away games from their oppositions, they are fit in every department and can win the cup, also they are the greatest hurdle for India in this cup.
NEWZEALAND:The team which you call as the gentlemen team, they are not that aggressive but are silent assassins, fielding and bowling are their strengths and they have a decent batting lineup too, but they don't play too many games,and the team lacks the required match practice.
WEST INDIES: They have a good lineup and are good in every department but they are too much inconsistent, they wont win the cup.
ZIMBABWE: They might have beat an inexperienced Indian team but still they cant win the cup.
FOLKS TELL ME HOW THIS ARTICLE WAS AND ALSO TELL ME WHO YOU THINK SHOULD WIN THE CUP
THIS ARTICLE IS TOTALLY BASED ON MY VIEWS.
MY BET FOR SEMIFINALS ARE:INDIA, SRILANKA, PAKISTAN,AUSTRALIA

May be Korea or Japan will win but the cup will be asian football

 

[Trichy]

What ever any think about it or not India & Sri Lanka are the top and one of this will lift the World Cup 2011 in Mumbai on April 2nd, 2011...

If they meet @any time in Quarter's or Semi's its a loss...

 

[Major Sahab]

For me India & Sri Lanka are favorite.
Best of luck Pakistan

 

[Gin ka Pakistan]

England

So, if Sri Lanka or Bangladesh win the WC this time, does that still mean that no host would have won the tournament?

Like I said, it would be half-true.

 

[Karachiite]

India is the strongest team going in the world cup. They have a dream team right now and they are playing at home, if they lose then it'll be a big upset and shame.
But expect some good performances from England, Australia and maybe Sri Lanka.

If Pakistan gets its act together then they can become a big dangerous team as they have been proven to win when they are underdogs like in WC 1992, T20 2009

 

[Jackdaws]

Romanticism aside, the Aussies are still the best balanced side in World Cup - good bats like Marsh, Ponting and Husseys, reliable and constantly delivering all rounders like Shane Watson and Johnson, Lee, Tait are all exceptional. They bat really deep too.

India have the best batting line up by far but their pace bowling with the exception of Zaheer is beyond sad. Nehra??? Zimbabwe has better pace options than Nehra.

 

[IamINDIA]

yousuf pathan is the one player im looking forward to see,its one thing to do well in just another ODI and a totally different thing to do well in the world cup but if he pulls it off he will be a real pleasure to watch
