Which team will be the Champion of the 2011 cricket world cup ?

Australia Winners of the ICC Cricket World Cup trophy for a record four times, in 1987, 1999, 2003 and 2007, Australia will be hoping to better its own achievement by winning the 2011 trophy.

England England has never won the ICC Cricket World Cup, finishing as the runners-up in 1979, 1987 and 1992. It has not made the semi-finals of the event, since that tournament in 1992, and suffered a disappointing event in 2007, losing four of its seven games in the Super Eight stage.

India Cricket fever in India exploded after it won the ICC Cricket World Cup in 1983, when 'Kapil's Devils' convincingly defeated the previously invincible West Indies by 43 runs in the final at Lord's.

New Zealand No team will be more desperate to win the ICC Cricket World Cup title than New Zealand, who despite reaching the semi-finals of the 1975, 1979, 1992, 1999 and the 2007 event, have never won the tournament.

Pakistan Pakistan made history when it won its first ICC Cricket World Cup title in 1992. Playing in his final ODI, skipper Imran Khan led his team to an unforgettable 22-run victory over England to claim the trophy. Since then, the closest the team has come to winning the trophy was in 1999, when it suffered an eight-wicket loss to Australia at Lord's in the final.

South Africa Having won an ICC event only once - the ICC Champions Trophy in 1998 - Graeme Smith's men will be hoping to improve on its record when it takes on West Indies in its opening game. The Proteas' success in the tournament extended only as far as the semi-finals of the 2007 event where it was out-witted by Australia by seven wickets at St. Lucia.

Sri Lanka Sri Lanka's moment of glory in the ICC Cricket World Cup arrived in 1996, when the team, led by Arjuna Ranatunga, defeated Australia by seven wickets to claim its first CWC title. In a repeat of the 1996 event, Mahela Jayawardena led the team to the CWC 2007 final in Barbados, but was defeated by the Australians by 53 runs (D/L method). With plenty of talent in the squad, which includes the likes of Jayawardena, Kumar Sangakkara, Tillakeratne Dilshan, Nuwan Kulasekara and the spin attack of Mura

West Indies Once considered to be invincible in the game, West Indies will be looking to history for inspiration if it has to win the 2011 event. Winners of the first two CWC events in 1975 and 1979 at Lord's, the West Indies have much work to do if they want to emulate those two great sides.
