Hey while the tournament is yet to start I can sense the excitement for it on the forum already, as for the upsets is concerned its difficult to say if big teams will avoid upsets or not. I remember the World Cup of 2007 lost huge bets because of those upsets, hence this time will be playing wisely. Also I feel the teams that can cause upsets are Afghanistan, West Indies ans Srilanka these three can surprise the top teams.
Yeah, there are lots of excitement among the cricket fans, including Bookies too and not to mention some fixtures like Ind Vs Pak match tickets already sold out and skyrocketing in the black market.
I am not expecting a very big upset in this world cup (top team getting out) because there is no Group system in this edition. every team will play 9 matches with each team so its highly unlikely that top teams failing in the row unless they somehow forget how to play

. I think that during the tournament run rate, the winning margin can come in gameplay when teams competing for top 4 spots.
