ICC World cup First Quarter Final Review
Pakistan will take on West Indies in the first Quarter final of world cup 2011 in Sri Lanka. Pakistan stunned defending champion Australia to break the 34 match record win in the group league.
Though Pakistan will start as favorite in this match, but like its name the great game of cricket full of uncertainty and unpredictability, Pakistan too is the most volatile and unpredictable cricket playing nation. The same tag is applicable to the West Indies also. Hence this match will be match of uncertainty and unpredictable.
For Pakistan it is the high time that their openers perform well in this match. Today or never is like the situation for them. Similarly so far their Captain Sahid Afridi has not done anything that he is known for. So he too will look forward to score some runs .
From West Indies side before the beginning of the tournament much have been spoken by their former captain and the opening batsman Chris Gayle about scoring centuries or double centuries against the minnows to break the record of Sachin Tendulkar. But he is still a total failure so far in this tournament. So he will definitely look forward to seize this opportunity. Another player who will be the key is their dependable Sarwan along with Chanderpaul.Pollard will be a worrying factor for the opponent. Their bowling will depend a lot upon the fast bowler Roach.
For Pakistan they have to do very good bowling mainly by their spinners and get help from the spin friendly wicket of Sri Lanka.
It will be a day night match and Pakistan will have a slight edge over West Indies.

Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo set to wed?
Cristiano Ronaldo is seemingly set to walk down the walkway with model girlfriend Irina Shayk soon. According to the Daily Mail, Ronaldo’s girlfriend Irina Shayk is rumoured to be pregnant. According to Ronaldo’s friend, Dolores wants the wedding to take place in the footballer's home town of Funchal, on the Portuguese island of Madeira. According to Britain's News of the World, Ronaldo presented his girlfriend with a red rose before getting down on bended knee to ask for her hand in marriage.
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro, OIH, commonly known as Cristiano Ronaldo, is a Portuguese footballer who plays as a winger or a forward for Spanish La Liga club Real Madrid and serves as captain of the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the most expensive player in football history after moving from Manchester United to Real Madrid in a transfer deal worth £80 million. In addition, his contract with Real Madrid, in which he is to be paid £11 million per year over the following six years, makes him the highest-paid football player in the world.
Ronaldo was born on 5 February 1985 in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira. On 15 June 2010, in Portugal's opening World Cup match against Côte d'Ivoire, Ronaldo was tackled by right-back Guy Demel, which led to an argument and both being booked.
