World Cup Cricket Venues: Trindidad & Tobago

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, the venue for the Group B encounters of the Cricket World Cup, is an archipelagic state in the southern Caribbean, lying northeast of the South American nation of Venezuela and south of Grenada in the Lesser Antilles. It also shares maritime boundaries with Barbados to the northeast and Guyana to the southeast. The country covers an area of 5,128 square kilometres (1,979 sq mi) and consists of two main islands, Trinidad and Tobago, and 21 smaller islands. Trinidad is the larger and more populous of the main islands; Tobago is much smaller, comprising about 6% of the total area and 4% of the population. ( Source: Wikipedia)

Cricket fans would be well-aware of the capital, Port-of-spain. San Fernando and Chaguanas are the other major urban conglomerations. However, if you are going visiting, it's the flora and fauna that you must not miss out on. The archipelago is home to 430 different species of birds, 620 species of butterflies, and 2,300 species of flowering plants and shrubs. Temperatures hover between 26-28 degrees celsius.

India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh & Bermuda are the teams that will be competing here for top honours from Group B. The beautiful Queen's Park Oval will host all the six matches.
