Australia vs Sri Lanka World Cup Match | 5 March 2011| Star Cricket Live

March 5, Colombo, Start time 2.30 pm (0900 GMT)

It would be great to see Australia playing against Sri Lanka in the world cup game after a long time. Last time Australia got a chance to play Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka was denied due the security concern raised by the Australian cricket side. But that was the only sorry part, in the same world cup 2007 they meet each other in the final and after a thrilling match Sri Lanka become the world cup winners.

2011 world cup is not being good for the Sri Lanka side, they beat the minors quite easily but struggled against the strong side like Pakistan, worst part was they gave wickets to the spin bowlers. So this is the match to keep the expectations high as there are many who are considering them to be the world cup winner for 2011. Sri Lankan bowling needs to be better though Malinga is the man for them other needs to bowl better two.

Australia who always played like champions in the world cup got defeated by the Indian side in warm-up matches but they won everything after that with authority and showed the world what they are. They have their bowling line up stronger than their batting which is better them many of other sides playing in the world cup 2011. Shane Watson is the man to look for due to his ability to contribute with bat and bowl and he can be dangerous in either of them.

Hope to see a excited match as there are only couple of world cup matches who made crown sit on their TV sets.

Squad for Australia vs Sri Lanka WC match:

Australia (probable) 1 Shane Watson, 2 Brad Haddin (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Clarke, 5 David Hussey, 6 Cameron White, 7 Steve Smith, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Jason Krezja, 10 Brett Lee, 11 Shaun Tait.


Sri Lanka (probable) 1 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 2 Upul Tharanga, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Thilan Samaraweera, 6 Angelo Mathews, 7 Chamara Silva, 8 Nuwan Kulasekara, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Ajantha Mendis, 11 Muttiah Muralitharan.

If you would like to see the Australia vs Sri Lanka match world cup live on your TV sets, please read more about world cup telecast on ESPN and other broadcasters.

WC Bangladesh vs West Indies | 4 March

Watch Bangladesh v West Indies ICC World Cup 2011 ODI Online Live

West Indies will travel to Bangladesh to play the 19th game of the World Cup at Mirpur in Dhaka. The game will be played at the Shere Bangla in Dhaka.

West Indies started with a poor performance against the South Africans but came back strongly with a win over Netherlands rather easily. On the other hand, Bangladesh were beaten by India and then eked out a narrow win over Ireland.

For more reasons than one, this will be an interesting game. For one, Bangladesh are playing it at home which means that they have a good advantage going into the game. On the other hand, West Indies are traditionally better team than Bangladesh and with the form of Kemar Roach, it will be interesting to see how the Bangladeshis play.

Shakib al Hasan and Abdur Razzaq will have a lot of responsibility riding on their shoulders.

Bangladesh vs West Indies – 19th Match, Group B at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

West Indies will play their 3rd ODI match against Bangladesh. They won the 2nd ODI and will look to win 3rd ODI against Bangladesh.

N Zealand v Zimbabwe World Cup | 4 March Match

Zimbabwe play the 18th game of the cricket World Cup against New Zealand on March 4. Both the sides will be playing in their third game each after winning one game and losing one games each.

This means that the winner of this game will have a good chance of making it to the top four slot, a must to get to the quarter-finals.

New Zealand will know that while they will go into the game as favourites but will have a lot of ground to make. For one, they will need to beware that if they bat first they will need to play coolly under the moist conditions. If they bat second, they will need to restrict the side to a low score given that the Zimbabweans have many spinners in their ranks.

Zimbabwe will look to their top order to deliver. For one, Brendan Taylor needs to start scoring some runs along with Charles Coventry. Then, Tatenda Taibu needs to continue with his good form as well.
