Structure cricket world cup 2011

On 11 April 2005, Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan announced an agreement about the allocation of games, though no decision on the location of semi-finals and final has been made. Three months later, PCB director Abbas Zaidi confirmed that India had been chosen to host the final, while Pakistan and Sri Lanka would host the semi-finals. This will be the first time Sri Lanka will host a World Cup semi-final, after hosting two group games during the 1996 World Cup. The opening ceremony will take place in Bangladesh. Australian cricketer Brett Lee will be performing the theme song for this World Cup. [1]

Late in 2007, the four host nations agreed upon a revised format for the 2011 World Cup, in which 14 teams will participate instead of 16. The first round of the tournament will be a round-robin similar to the one held in South Africa in the 2003 edition in which the 14 teams are divided into 2 groups of 7 teams each. The 7 teams play each other once with the top four from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals.
The format ensures that each team gets to play a minimum of six matches even if they are ruled out of the tournament due to early defeats.

Semi-finals and Final
The planned semi-final venues are the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Pakistan, and the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
The final will be played at the renovated Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India.
