4. Don't know.

6. Canada, I think. Burj Khalifa, Dubai is the tallest building. So, confusion reigns.

Regarding 9. I think it was Sri Lanka's win over India. I'm not sure though. And for honesty's sake I've not consulted Net ( I was itching to go for it though).

My answers tally with that of Sanket and Krishna for the rest.

Sourav ji, the answer for 6th is Dubai itself. I am sure on it. This restuarant was opened in this year only in that tallest building.
