It's the end of group stage matches in world cup 2011, no minnow-associated teams will be in the competition any more. Although these associate teams have given headache to the England team as the Ireland and bangladesh won their games. Some games have been so one sided and some have been a thriller. The tie game between India and England, SA vs England, SL vs Pak, England vs Bangladesh are some of few exciting -nail biter games. We had a fastest hundred of the world cup history so far and it was made by associate team player kevin O'brian of Ireland. Ross Taylor if NZ hit the record 13 sixes in an innings against Pakistan.


Let's start with group A - this group has been a tough one. Pakistan are on top of this group with 5 wins out of 6 games played. They lost the only game against New zealand.
Sri lanka are no2 here they won 4 out of 6 games played. They lost narrowly against Pakistan by 11 runs and their game against Australia was washed out.
Unlike the defending world champions Australia are at no3 . They won 4 out of 6 games played. They had a big loss against pakistan and game washed out against Sri Lanka.
New zealnd were no4 ,they won 4 out of 6 games. Their loss against Sri lanka  and Australia were so disappointing but they turned the tables against the No1 team of the group Pakistan.
Group B- This group has seen so many ups and downs . South Africa at the No1 spot. They won 5 out of 6 games. They narrowly lost against England by 6 runs.
India entered the tournament with the best contender to lift the world cup but they couldn't perform on important times. They lost 1 out of 6 games and 1 game against England resulted in a tie.
England's performance has been like roller coaster ride, they tied the high scoring games against India and won the low scoring game against South Africa. They fail to win against Ireland and Bangladesh.They won 3 out of 6 games played and lost 2 with 1 tie.
West Indies team just manged qualify with 3 wins and 3 losses out of 6 games  played.
