Let us all join in this prediction. Well, I am a cricket student, but that doesn't mean I am trying to pull a Nostradamus. Here is just what I
think and not
feel about how this world cup is gonna span out. So make predictions based on what u 'think' is gonna happen and not simply saying because u support one country....anyone else is invited to be Paul, but make sure u give a match to match prediction from quater finals onwards following the correct format. Here's mine:
From Group A: Australia (1), Sri Lanka (2), Pakistan (3), New Zealand (4)
From Group B: South Africa (1), India (2), England (3), Bangladesh (4)
So based on the exact scheduling and fixtures, the quaterfinal line up would be:
Australia (A1) v Bangladesh (B4) at Dhaka
Pakistan (A3) v India (B2) at Ahmedabad
New Zealand (A4) v South Africa (B1) at Dhaka
Sri Lanka (A2) v England (B3) at Colombo
then semifinals:
Bangladesh v South Africa (1st quarter winner v 3rd quarter winner) at Colombo
India v England (2nd quarter winner v 4th quarter winner) at Mohali
Finals:
Bangladesh v England
Champion: Bangladesh
Note: Be aware that the quarter fixtures would be first at Dhaka, second at Ahmedabad, third at Dhaka again, fourth at Colombo.
Accordingly, then the home teams, regardless of their standings in group, would play in their home grounds, unless in the case if Sri Lanka plays India, or Bangladesh plays Sri Lanka......
so make sure u keep that in mind when making the predictions of the quarter final lineup. I know its confusing....but if u deeply study how this has been structured, u'll figure it out.....
Go ahead and be PAUL
