This is turning out to be very unexpected World Cup. India and Australia who were the favorites before going into WC aren't the top sides in their group. Not only this, they struggle against Associate Nations too.
England who were also one of favorites lose against Ireland and Bangladesh and had a close encounter against Holland.
Pakistan who were considered one of the weakest test nation team going into WC, went on to beat Sri Lanka and Australia who won their 34th consecutive matches before in WC and were looking unstoppable. They surprised everyone by topping the group.
Ireland surprised everyone by their performance and they gave a good competition in all their matches. Their fielding looked very impressive. They were no where same like other Associated teams.
Kenya was expected to give a good fight after they reached Semi finals in 03' but they failed to win even a 1 match in their WC campaign.
New Zealand who came into WC after getting whitewashed from Bangladesh surprised everyone by beating Pakistan comprehensively.
TBF, no team looked like the same as they were looking before WC.
What's next? Perhaps a unexpected team to win WC?
