Add to that the chance of first time World Cup winner and it's as exciting as the possibility of numerous upsets throughout.""The upcoming Cricket World Cup has the same format as in 1992. It is the best format as teams get more chances and I reckon all teams will have an equal chance to qualify for the semi-finals.
