Match 4 - Australia vs Zimbabwe -Ahemdabad

Fourth match of the ICC cricket world cup will be a group A match played between
Australia v Zimbabwe at Ahmedabad. Given the fact that Australia has won the world cup maximum number of times and Zimbabwe is a troubled nation team, this match is also going to be a one sided match. Now till now we have seen that all the 3 previous matches also seem to be one sided affairs. Her is the pre-match review of the first three matches of the 2011 world cup:

• ICC Cricket World Cup Opening Match - World Cup 2011
• Match 2 World Cup 2011 Kenya v New Zealand at Chennai
• Match 3 world Cup - Sri Lanka Vs Canada

Perhaps this is the trend of all worl cup tournaments be it hockey, cricket, soccer or any other game. Games get exciting as the competition goes by. My best wishes to the zimbabwe team this nation definitely needs a world cup win fo rthe game to survie and grow in the nation. I really wnat them not to exit in the first phase of the tournament.

Match 3 world Cup - Sri Lanka Vs Canada

The third co-host of the ICC worlc cup 2011 wil l play there first match agains Canada on Feb 20th. For most of the cricket fans this is going to be a one sided match where Sri Lanka will have the advantage of home condition but Canadian fans can remain positive for the Canada cricket team as in cricket any team can beat the number one team on the given day.

It's stil not clear about who will be the 15 memebers representing Canada team however I am sure there will be some people from Indian/Asian roots in the team and they can prove to be the main reason for Canadas success in the tournament.
