Mumbai will host the final and Mohali one of the semi-finals, according to the allocation of India's share of matches in the 2011 cricket World Cup announced on Wednesday.

The one quarter-final allotted to India will be held in the western city of Ahmedabad, which will also host two more matches. New Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Nagpur and Kolkata will each stage four matches, including one featuring the home team.


Sri Lanka will host 12 and Bangladesh eight of the remaining 20 games in the 49-match tournament after Pakistan were removed as co-hosts by the International Cricket Council due to security concerns.
