CAPTAIN Ashish Bagai will lead Canada's cricketers into the 2011 World Cup with hope, but little expectation.

Canada are not going to win the World Cup, but after years developing in the ICC's programme, they are capable of causing the odd upset in the showpiece competition which will be held in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Cricket betting throughout the 14-team competition will be fascinating. Canada have been drawn in Group A, along with world champions Australia, Kenya, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe.
