World Cup 2011 – Format and group stages

After the failing TRPs and “not that much” success to the previous world cup, the four of the host nations decided to change the format of this world cup like the one used in 1996. Under the new system, the participating 12 teams were been divided into two groups of 7 teams each. The top four teams from each of the groups got to play the quarterfinals and every team in the group played the other one at least once.

Talking about Group A, Pakistan, Australia, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand qualified whilst leaving Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Canada out of the contention. On the other side, South Africa, India, England, and West Indies qualified from the Group B with Bangladesh, Ireland and Netherlands bowing out from the group’s stage only.

The first quarter-final was played between West Indies and Pakistan where the Pakistani team easily won by 10 wickets after chasing a low total of 113 runs. In the second quarterfinal match, India won against a spirited Australian team in an exciting clash by 5 wickets and this was one of the rarest instances when Australia didn’t enter into the semi-finals.
