Well slowly and slowly team are arriving in the Indian sub-continent and also taking part in warm up matches. Minnows are specially taking part in warm up matches to make them selves accustom to the pitches and playing condition here. So far 6 warm up matches have been played and there weren’t any surprise results from the warm up matches.
Perhaps the reason behind this may be that the warm up matches so far are played between minnows like Canada, Ireland, Afghanistan, Netherlands and Kenya. So far from the warm up matches I can see the Zimbabwe team is going on a good track and this team can definitely cause some setbacks to the favorites in the world cup.
Below are the results of warm up matches played so far:
Kenya 289/4 v Afghanistan 240 (43 ov)
Kenya won by 49 runs
Netherlands 151 v Canada 152/6 (39.4 ov)
Canada won by 4 wickets (with 62 balls remaining)
Ireland 204 v Zimbabwe 208/4 (43.5 ov)
Zimbabwe won by 6 wickets (with 37 balls remaining)

Given the current news of betting and spot betting, I am sure the bookies will be targeting world cup lets see if Indian police or other crime investigation departments will be able to keep a check on this. If a control on betting is not there the game will soon loose its charm to other games.
