India begin their World Cup campaign in this port city where over a 100 years ago the Titanic had set sail on its doomed journey to New York. Of course, India would not take it as a bad omen as they are one of the strongest teams in the tournament and are considered among the favourites to claim the title.

India are the last to enter the fray as all the other teams have played at least one game and have set the tone for the tournament. There have been a couple of surprising results already, making things rather interesting going ahead into the long-drawn affair.
