Must watch on TV: The ICC World Cup, Barclays Premier League and more

Action from the cricket world cup faces a direct relation with the outside temperature, as a rise in the outside temperature is accompanied by a rise in the action from the cricketing grounds.

 

After England beat the West Indies last night, Bangladesh will need to beat South Africa to ensure a quarter final berth in the 2011 World Cup. A win for South Africa will not only eliminate the Bangladeshis, they'll also finish with top spot in group B. Watch this game on Saturday from 09:00 hours, Live on ESPN.

 

Also on Saturday sees a repeat of the World Cup final from 1999, as Australia take on the unpredictable Pakistanis. Australia are unbeaten at the World Cup since 1999 and ironically Pakistan were the last team to beat them. Will they be able to repeat that performance? Watch the game, Live on STAR Cricket and STAR Sports from 14:30 hours onwards.

 

On Sunday, minnows Zimbabwe take on Kenya in the first game of the day, which starts at 09:00 hours.

 

In the second game of the day, India take on West Indies at Chennai. If Bangladesh do beat the South Africans, West Indies will need a victory over the Indians to qualify. A loss by a margin less than 100 runs for India, would also be sufficient to qualify for the quarter finals. Watch this game on STAR Cricket and STAR Sports from 14:30 hours.
