WC 2007 : Analysis and Prediction - II

Now if Groups are analyzed then we have picture like this,

Group A (Aus, SA, Nether, Scot)
In this group there is just no possibility of any upset, Not even by a wild imigination there will be a upset in this group.
Confirm Super eight : AUS, SA
Upset Super eight : No Way

Group B (Srilank, India, Bangladesh, Bermuda)
Bermuda is really a no hoper in this group. Bangladesh is not exactly a strong team or a contender for super eight. But one victory against bermuda plus one more upset win over sri lanka or india can see them through to super eight. This possibility has a little chance, but there is a chance for bangladesh. Srilankan Batting looks fragile at times.
Confirm Super eight : IND, SL
Upset Super eight : BAN replacing SL

Group C ( New Zealand, England, Kenya, Canada)
Again Canada is a no hoper in this group. Strongest team in this group is New Zealand and Kenya the underdogs. Kenya guarantee a win against canada and they can upset england on a good day for them.
Confirm Super eight : NZ, ENG
Upset Super eight : KEN replacing ENG

Group D ( West Indies, Pakistan, Zimbabwe, Ireland)
Situation in this group looks very much simillar to Group A, but zimbabwe can cause a upset. I think the team that will be affected by this upset will be Pakistan most probably. Ireland will be a no hoper.
Confirm Super eight : WI, PAK
Upset Super eight : ZIM replacing PAK
