Day 2

Manish Bhasin introduces the best action and reaction from the day's three group ties, including India's opening match of their title defence against Bangladesh.

India will again be among the tournament favourites, with their explosive middle-order batting line-up of Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and Rohit Sharma all in sparkling form during the recent Indian Premier League. Australia are another side expected to be in contention. Ricky Ponting's team open their campaign against the West Indies at The Brit Oval, which also hosts New Zealand against Scotland.
