As a bunch of games have already been played by the time I decided to dedicate the blog for the WC, I'll give do quick review.

Game 1: Pakistan v/s West Indies (Group D) at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica

WI : 241/9 in 50 overs (Sameuls 63, Sarwan 49, Lara 37, Ifthikar Anju 44/3) beat Pakistan 187/10 in 47.2 overs (Shoaib Malik 62, D Smith 36/3, Bravo 42/3) by 58 runs.
Match home

The opening game of the world cup featured two highly unpredictable teams. Eventually, after several see-saw battles, west indies finished comfortable winners. Pakistan played quite poorly and their performance but full credit to WI for they way they fought back from a rather nervous start. To have a successful world cup, it is imperative that the host nation does well. With this win, and assuming Pak make it to the super 8's, west indies will take 2 valuable points which might make their task of reaching the semis easier. As for Pakistan, they better raise their performance significantly in the future games else this could turn out to be a disastrous campaign for them.

Game 2: Canada v/s Kenya (Group C) St Lucia
Canada 199/10 in 50 overs (Barnett 41, Kamande 25/2, Tikolo 34/2) lost to Kenya 203/3 in 43.2 overs (Tikolo 72*, Ouma 58)
Match home
The semi-finalists of 2003 WC eased home quite comfortably in this clash between the two minnows.

Game 3:
