Personally I don’t think there will be any upsets this time around.
Previous upsets:
Zimbabwe beat Australia by 13 runs (1983)
Kenya beat West Indies by 73 runs (1996)
Bangladesh beat Pakistan by 62 runs (1999)
Zimbabwe beat South Africa by 48 runs (1999)
Kenya beat SriLanka by 53 runs (2003)
Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?
If there is one team that I would rate as capable of producing an upset, it would be Bangladesh. They have really learned their lessons over the years and are definitely a team that should not be underestimated.
Re: Which minnow if any will cause the shock of the world cup?
My bet is on Ireland they have players (many) from aussies domestic circuit (if you read their profiles). they can beat any team in their pool (Pakistan, WI and Zim) which is a worry sum sign, anyone look at their chase against SA lately
