Cricket world cup is just around the corner, and the preparations are in their last phase. The excitement is on its pinnacle and supporters of their respective national teams are flocking down under for the mega event.

In the buildup of things, we thought of presenting some of the things that a cricket fan can expect at the world cup this year.

There is nothing concrete, it’s only guessing things that may or may not happen? Are you game? Come with us on the journey of words:

• A south African victory

Most of your readers will think I’ve gone crazy putting my money on the Proteas. But you cannot deny the fact that since 1992, South Africans have owned and earned their spot in the most crucial games at the world cup on different occasions. This time with AB D in form and Amla and Steyn-gun in the squad - the team is looking set to face all you’d put their way, so maybe the jinx may just be broken.

• Endless cricket and even more cardiac arrests

All the cricket fans sick of ICC’s new formats and plans in every other tournament, just raise your hands… Ahh… that’s a lot of hands! Well, the WC ’15, is going to be one hectic tournament for the player, and yes for you and me too. And it could be a reason for a few untimely deaths courtesy heart attacks when some of the major teams are shown the way home after a month of cricket with serious knock out matches yet to be played. Indians are you listening. You world champions, have your doctors’ ready on the other side of the phone.

• Largest crowd ever seen in a cricket match

Besides the final, if there is one game that will flock in crowds, it’ll be Afghanistan vs. Bangladesh, game in which Afghanistan will make its world cup debut. A dream of the deceased veteran Taj Malik who wanted to make a cricket team in Afghanistan and take them to the World Cup. Afghanistan may lose each game they play, but watching them play and their taking to the field – it will be biggest victories for cricket.

• A 500 team score

Yes, they’re going to play on bouncing and seaming tracks. But thanks to all those field restrictions and the kind of form some of the batsmen are coming in with, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a team that went on to put up a score of 500 plus and still end up on the losing side. Am I expecting too much?
