The Celebration of 75 years of Indian Test cricket Without Kapil Dev

India is going to celebrate the 75 years of Indian Test cricket in Kochi on October 2. In the Celebration all former captain will be invited in the ceremony. Awards have been given to some of the outstanding performers of the year the last few years. But I am disappointed to see that here is no word about Kapil Dev who was the captain of India team at the time of World Cup Championship at 1983.

And some of the captains who shaped and steered Indian cricket will be honoured at the function at the Le Meridian hotel here on Tuesday night, a few hours after the India-Australia one-dayer at the Nehru Stadium. Among the current cricketers, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag will also be feted at the ceremony. This year, the outstanding performance award will be presented to Dhoni’s team.

The Castrol awards have been given to some of the outstanding performers of the year the last few years but this time, the main theme will be the celebration of 75 years of Indian Test cricket.

Kapil Dev was the captain from 1982-83. Kapil was kept hold of as India's captain for the 1987 Cricket World Cup. I am not sure why we can not see his name on the lists.

India vs Australia 2nd ODI: India Bowling vs S Sreesanth

In the 2nd ODI between India and Australia, S Sreesanth is going to become the key blower of Indian team day by day. I think Australian batsmen will not take him easily and will think hardly twice during the second ODI about S Sreesanth. In the first match S Sreesanth took early and important three wickets of Australia that was a very good turning point for Indian team although the iron man Michael Clarke was unbeaten long time. As a result the Australia reached a long score of 307 runs.

In the fourth over of India and the second over of himself, S Sreesanth felt the BJ Hodge in lbw trap. The result came, Australia 18 by two wickets. In his 6th over S Sreesanth packed the danger man ML Hayden by bowled out only 34 runs when the team’s runs were 83. In his next over his stopped A Symonds by Lbw. So before 90 Australia had to loose 4 wickets, in here the strong contributor was S Sreesanth’s blowing.

During the twenty20 world cup S Sreesanth was disappointed all the cricket fans especially in the fist match along with Pakistan. In the last over he did not give any opportunity to reach the target of 141 runs. The result came drawn. Although he was in pressure but he bowled very simply.

I thing if he get proper coaching then he could be a very good contributors in Indian bowling section also he would able to a strong role in the ongoing series against Australia.

India vs Australia 2nd ODI: Australian Batting Line up

The second ODI will take place on 2 October 2007. The first match has stopped due to heavy rain. I think Australian batting impressed the entire cricket fans especially the batting of Michael Clarke Although Australian faced a heavy batting downfall in the first time by but Michael Clarke helped team to overcome the bad situation and blow up the team as a score of 307.

After Sreesanth had left the innings rocking, it was Clarke and Haddin that rebuilt it, patiently at first and then with considerable flair and aggression. After taking 68 balls for his 50, Clarke cruised to three figures in just another 40 deliveries, playing some gorgeous shots off his pads in the process.

There was a stunning glance-on-the-walk against Irfan Pathan, and peachy on-drive off Zaheer before a dismal full toss from Ramesh Powar was swatted over the square-leg rope. Haddin's dismissal, stumped trying to give Yuvraj the mow, didn't stem the Clarke tide either, and another full toss from Powar was dismissed over midwicket to herald his patented helmet-badge-kissing celebration.

It is clear that Australia has a strong batting line up although they lost against India in the Twenty20 world cup.

Sri Lanka vs England ODI Series: Players in the England Squad

Sri Lanka vs England ODI Series: Players in the England Squad. England just played a seven matches ODI series and a test match series last. Another five matches ODI series is going to take place is going to start from 1 October 2007. In the twenty20 world cup they did not do well according to their expectation. Seeing England’s performances during the home series along with India I thought that they will play a very good cricket in twenty20 but fail. Anyway I think they will back to their form like the home series.

The test series will be crucial for England. They lost test series against India at home. Sri Lanka will most likely to make spinning wicket so that their spinners like Muttiah Muralitharan can play a big role for Sri Lanka against England. I am giving the ODI squad of England below: England’s ODI squad against Sri Lanka

Paul Collingwood (c), James Anderson, Ian Bell, Ravi Bopara, Stuart Broad, Alastair Cook, Dimitri Mascarenhas, Phil Mustard (wk), Monty Panesar, Kevin Pietersen, Owais Shah, Ryan Sidebottom, Graeme Swann, Chris Tremlett, Luke Wright, Andrew Flintoff, Matt Prior

A new formatted New Zealand Team Tour of South Africa

New Zealand is bringing some serious changes in the team, aim to the upcoming tour in South Africa. During that time, they to play three one-day internationals and two Twenty20 games and two match of test. The selection board and the coach are thinking to change with some points that are injury, opportunity for new comer etc. But some of them will play ODI and Twenty20 matches but will not play test matches.

The Stuff reported that "The selectors are looking to form a quality opening partnership," Bracewell said today.

"Craig Cumming is the incumbent and is acknowledged as a quality player of pace, while Michael Papps is being rewarded after an excellent domestic season.

"James Franklin was not included due to knee injury, and it's hoped he will be fit enough to be considered for the ODI team."

According to these changes the selection board has announced the team for the upcoming tour. In this squad the following name has taken the place. Daniel Vettori (captain), Shane Bond, Craig Cumming, Stephen Fleming, Mark Gillespie, Peter Fulton, Chris Martin, Michael Mason, Brendon McCullum, Kyle Mills, Jacob Oram, Michael Papps, Jeetan Patel, Scott Styris, Ross Taylor

Here Daniel Vettori is going to lead the team first time as test captaincy. So the old format has totally changed.

Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulkar are back for team India. I know if you search on google you will find a lot of materials about them. But form my view I selected Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Sourav Ganguly.

Sachin Tentulkar: Sachin Tendulkear is number one batsman in the world. He is born at 24 April 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra. In his cricket career he played 140 test match and total runs 11150 and played 395 ODI matches in 90 different Grounds and total runs 15,395.

He started his Test and ODI career against Pakistan. In the first test he scored only 15 runs and bowled out by Waqar Younis and first ODI he scored duck and huntet by Waqar Younis too. By starting 15 runs in test and duck in ODI, now he the owner of highest records as a batsman.

Rahul Dravid: Rahul Dravid is known as a The Wall in cricket world. He was born at January 11, 1973 at Indore in Madhya Pradesh. He played 112 test matches and 9492 runs and 327 ODI and 10534 runs.

In the ODI match his highest run was 153 against New Zealand and in the test match 270 against Pakistan.

In October 2005, he was appointed captain the one-day side, began with a thumping 6-1 hammering of Sri Lanka in a home series, and was soon given responsibility of the Test side as well, taking over from the controversy-shrouded Sourav Ganguly. While his captaincy stint started encouragingly with ODI victories against Pakistan and England, it soon nosedived with an embarrassing defeat against Bangladesh which led to an early exit from the 2007 World Cup. As a Test team, though, India had plenty to celebrate under Dravid, winning their first Test in South Africa and achieving two historic away series wins in the West Indies and England. Dravid stepped down from the captaincy after the 2007 England tour.

Sourav Ganguly: Sourav Ganguly introduced with international cricket at 1992 as an ODI player. He debuted himself with ODI cricket at along with West Indies at Brisbane - Jan 11, 1992 and introduced with Test math against England at Lord's - Jun 20-24, 1996.

Ganguly was the captain of the Indian cricket team from 2000 to 2005. He led India to the 2003 World Cup final, and holds the Indian captaincy record for the most Test victories.

He was born at 8 July 1972 at Barisha in Kolkata. Ganguly has been nicknamed Bengal Tiger, Prince of Calcutta, Lord Snooty by his opponents, and affectionately Dada.

If you visit the link you could know about his award and achievements form 1996 to September 5, 2007. It is updating continue.

MS Dhoni: MS Dhoni is a successful name in India cricket. After Kapil Dev he is the only captain who leaded Indian team to won any ICC World Cup trophy. He was elevated to the vice-captaincy of the one-day squad for the tour of England and Ireland in 2007 and, soon after, was appointed captain of the Twenty20 squad for the World Championship in South Africa. He was handed the reins of the one-day side in September 2007 after Rahul Dravid decided to step down as captain.

He his on of the wicket keeper who is the owner of highest runs of 183 not out. Before him Adam Gilchrist was the owner of that recored. On the 31st of October, Dhoni broke the record of highest runs scored by a wicket keeper by securing 183 runs against Sri Lanka which was played at Jaipur, beating Adam Gilchrist's former record of 172 runs.

Yuvraj Singh: Now Yuvraj Singh is called as Yuvi. It means the victory sign V. During the Twenty20 world cup his performances named so. He debuted with ODI against Kenya at Nairobi (Gym) - Oct 3, 2000 and test along with New Zealand at Mohali - Oct 16-20, 2003 and test. He has played 183 ODIs and 19 tests and 6 Twenty20 matches.

Pakistan vs South Africa ODI & Test: Pakistan wants to apply T20 experience on home series

Pakistan wants to apply T20 experience on home series by using this theory, Pakistan is going to play a test and odi series along with South Africa. We all know that Pakistan team become runner-up in the inaugural Twenty20 world cup championship. During the world cup Pakistan bead by India two times only. There was no team similar to Pakistan. Now Pakistan captain Shoeb Malik is hopping that they would implement these experiences during the home series.

The Hindu reported that Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said on Wednesday that his young team can transform its Twenty20 form into success in the forthcoming Test series against South Africa.

“We have performed very well and since the boys are in good form I am confident that we will carry this form into our Test series against South Africa,” Malik told reporters on his return from Johannesburg.

With some new comer Pakistan showed very good jobs in the inaugural Twenty20 world cup. As the captain is thinking to apply this process, I think it will be good for the Pakistan team.

Sri Lanka vs England ODI Series: Venue of 1st ODI, Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium

The first venue of Sir Lanka vs England ODI Series has selected Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium. The Stadium is situated in the North Central Province, nearby Dambulla. The capacity of this stadium is 30000, and the inaugural one-day international (ODI) match was played between Sri Lanka and England in March 2000. Dambulla an agricultural trading town also famous for its ancient UNESCO protected Buddhist Cave Temples which date back to 85 B.C.

In the inaugural match Sri Lanka beat England by five wickets. During that time Graham Thorp was the captain of England team. In other match at 2003 between England and Sri Lanka, Sri Lanka beat England by 10 wickets. So the winning records of Sri Lanka are best.

The records of this Ground:

  • Sri Lanka holds the highest score at the ground with 282/4 against India.
  • England holds the lowest score at the ground with 88 all out against Sri Lanka.
  • Australian duo Ricky Ponting and Matthew Hayden hold the biggest partnership record at the ground when they put on 148 for the 2nd wicket in 2003/04 series.
  • Sri Lankan duo of K Sangakkara (318 runs) & M Muralitharan (24 Wickets) hold the record for runs scored and wickets taken at the ground so far in their careers.

When I search on google I found that Seatwave is claiming that it will provide the England vs Sri Lanka ODI matches tickets. You can visit the link of Seatwave. I am not sure how they will provide it.

Pakistan vs South Africa ODI & Test: who will be the vice-captain of South Africa?

Pakistan vs South Africa ODI & Test: who will be the vice-captain of South Africa? After Kallis’s resignation from the vice-captain position, still South Africa did not find out anyone for this position. To talk with media South African captain replied that he would inform later who would be that position. Mentionable, Kallis resigned as Vice-Captain of the team (August 2007). South Africans will play Pakistan in two Test matches and five one-day internationals but some of the cricketers have left for breaking the ties of the with SA cricket.

"Guys of 21 and 22 years are leaving because they just do not have the patience to play their way into the national team. Some players who are near the end of their career are also taking that route.

Where, the selection board had included the name of Jacques Kallis who was not in the Twenty20 squad. Anyway, during the tour of Pakistan the team will be lead by Graeme Smith as usual. To forget the painful defeat, they will play a remarkable series during the tour of Pakistan. There is no doubt that South Africa is a strong team in all parts batting bowling and fielding.

The Telegraph reported that Jacques Kallis has been recalled to the South Africa squad for the Test series in Pakistan in October, adds a report from Durban.

Kallis was left out of the ICC Twenty20 World Cup squad and reacted to his omission by resigning as vice-captain, saying he was considering his options.

By using this heading “Twenty20 lifts cricket out of ODI gloom in TRP ratings” the economic India published a repot the quote of Manish Porwal is below.

Said Starcom India (West and South) managing director Manish Porwal: “The core audience of this format of cricket is young adults, and is getting advertisers a combination of exposure and engagement. Twenty20 has created a wider appeal for mid-tier advertisers.”

ESPN is currently showcasing the ICC World Twenty20 live with English commentary, while Star Cricket is showcasing the same in Hindi. The sports broadcaster has also introduced a special Tamil feed on Star Cricket for cricket enthusiasts in Tamil Nadu.

Cricinfo

Cricinfo is always different. It is broadcasting the live score as usual but it has added ball to ball commentary in the bottom and after one over it is showing all abut bats man bowler econ.

Here is some important site in where you can get the live score of any international match. So, you can get the recent news of 7th ODI and live scores of India vs. England of NatWest series. You will also get match articles on this series in the site.

Analysis about the teams strength and achievement:

India Saturday surprised Australia by 15 runs in the second semi-final of the Twenty20 World Championship of cricket to set up a dream final with Pakistan Monday.India scored 188 for five wickets in 20 overs and then restricted Australia to 173 for seven in 20 overs in the second semi-final at Kingsmead ground.Earlier in the day, Pakistan defeated New Zealand by six wickets in the first semi-final in Durban to book their berth in the final, which will be played in Johannesburg.In-form Yuvraj Singh, who was later adjudged the Man of the Match, slammed 70 off 30 balls to guide India to a competitive-looking total after captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni won the toss.Besides Yuvraj's blitzkrieg (5x4s, 5x6s), Dhoni smashed 36 off 18 balls (4x4s, 1x6) and Robin Uthappa scored 34 off 28 balls (1x4s, 3x6s) to lift India from a worrying 41 for two in seven overs.Pacer Michael Johnson took two wickets.

India and Pakistan have never played in any World Cup final in the 50-50 format and the inaugural Twenty20 World Cup has produced two Asian giants as the finalists and the other thing is that Pakistan never beat India in any world cup of 50-50. In the final match of Twenty20 World cup the will be change or will continue the follow. I think India will try hardly to hold the tradition and the strong Pakistan will confidently try to beak it. We could not draw the conclusions now. We have to wait for 24 September 2007 in Johannesburg. It is as history that Indian and Pakistan is playing in the inaugural ICC Twenty20 final. The result will be another history, who will win.

Pakistan beat New Zealand by 6 wickets hours it will be confirm that who are going to qualify for semi-final. But my question is who will play on the final match. After time being, we all will know that who are those teams that will play on the final match at Johannesburg? I am giving some suspicions of possibilities of different teams.

"It will be cracking game no doubt as an India-Pakistan contest is a world spectacle, “stated India's hero against Australia, Yuvraj Singh. "We are looking forward to playing Pakistan," Yuvraj added

First I am describing about Pakistan team. In the first match of qualified round Pakistan beat Scotland by 51 runs. In that match Pakistan went to bat first and a big scored of 171 runs. Running behind these runs Scotland became all out at 120 runs. But in the second match along with India, they drown and the result became that Pakistan lost by bowl out. Here we can not think that Pakistan was a weak team, both bowling and batting were well.

In the super- 8, Pakistan will play semi-final with full of strength because they beat some strong team, ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and another strong team Sri Lanka and another team was Bangladesh. We can to tell Bangladesh as weak team because in the qualified round they beat West Indies and the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the super- 8 round, Pakistan had to pressure to beat Bangladesh.

In the match along with Sri Lanka in the Super- 8, Pakistani batsmen did 189 runs against the strong bowling of Sri Lanka. In spite of being strong batting-line-up Sri Lanka did not score more than 156 runs against the strong bowling of Pakistan. The second super- 8 match Pakistan played along with the ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and beat by 6 wickets. Although Australia scored a little bit big of 164 runs but Pakistani batsmen jumped over this runs by losing 5 wickets only.

I think all the cricket analyst will agree that Pakistan has reached to semi-final by fighting strongly with many strong teams. If they would do so, then they could play in the final. Here I want to remember the ICC 50-50 world cup at 1992, Pakistan reached semi-final and final with different barred and at last they won the World Cup by beating England. In this stage there is no difference.

India has beaten 50-50 ICC world champion Australia by 15 runs and will play final with Pakistan in Johannesburg. By beating England in the super-8 (Super eight) series of Twenty (T20), India move up the expectation the million of Indian fans and turn over their concentrating to Twenty20 world Cup Championship because most of the cricket fans live in South Asia almost India. Absent of India form Twenty20 World Cup, is painful for all the fans. India beat England by 18 runs, in the same time; million of fans return their senses. In this match Indian won the toss and selected to bat first and scored 218. Most of the Indian batsmen came to the form, as a result India able to build the big scores of 218 runs. In this match G Gambhir, V Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh scored well and the success came easily. Here most important matter was Yuvraj Singh’s 58 runs. Now, he is the owner of the world record who took the quick fifty by 12 balls and took 36 runs in one over. Running behind these long scores, England did 200 runs. So it is clear that Indian bowlers did not do well in that match.

The last match of super- 8, India played along with South Africa. In this match India scored 153 runs by loosing 5 wickets. India lost some early wicket and fall in trouble but other drawn the match as a result the run came totally 153. Running behind 154 runs South Africa did not do well against the India and scored 119 runs by 9 wickets. In spite of doing well South Africa deprived to play the semi-final of the T20 world cup championship.

Pakistan Skipper wants T20 Trophy

Pakistan is number one team reached Tweny20 (T20) semi-final with full points by beating the three strong teams. In the semi-final match they will play along with New Zealand in Cape Town. Observing all the matches in Tweny20 (T20), Pakistan Captain keens to reach final and to win the trophy of Twenty20. In the qualified and super-8 round Pakistan beat some of super strong team like, Australia and Sri Lanka. Basically, Pakistan won the entire match except the match against India in qualified round. First time Pakistan drawn the match but was beaten by bowl out.

In a international online newspaper The News reported a news with the heading “Skipper wants T20 crown”. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said his team was looking beyond tomorrow’s semifinals after they laboured to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Newlands on Thursday.

“We had hiccups today,” Malik admitted. “We are much focused to improve on this performance,” he added

Malik said he wasn’t concerned about who Pakistan play on Saturday. “We have our sights set higher than the semifinals,” he said. “We are looking at winning the trophy,” he added.

He said he was told to play his natural game. “I went out to play as I do in domestic cricket and not worry about the opposition,” he said.

Yes, Pakistan captain could dream so because now they are the unbeaten team from super eight that reached Semi-final. Pakistan has a strong batting, bowling and fielding line-up. If they achieve more confidence in this one day gap by more practices then their dream will come true.

India and Twenty20 world Cup Final: India is in T20 Final

India and Twenty20 world Cup Final: India is in T20 Final. India beat Australia by 15 runs and achieve the qualification and gone to the final along with Pakistan in Johannesburg. After winning the toss India selected bat fast and scored 188 runs. Running behind this runs Australia had to stop at 173 runs. It is a big history because all cricket specialist thought that India will not over the qualified round. But Dhoni’s crews have broken all the assumption of those cricket specialists. Anyway I think the cricket fans all over the world will enjoy the match with joyful war.

I gave the paragraph and the last over bally by ball commentary below for cricinfo:

End of over 19 (5 runs) - Australia 167/5 (22 runs required from 6 balls

22 needed now from the final over. It's Joginder Sharma to bowl it. Real pressure here.

19.1 Joginder Sharma to Hussey, no run, fullish and outside the off, driven at, through to the keeper, no run. Great result from the first ball for Joginder and India

19.2 Joginder Sharma to Hussey, no run, full and very straight, driven back down the pitch to the bowler. Another dot ball. This is now really tough for Australia

19.3 Joginder Sharma to Hussey, OUT, short of a good length and outside the off, big heave to the on side, that one goes high rather than far, Yuvraj Singh runs across to wide long-on and holds the catch. Now surely that is the end of that. Big, big wicket for Joginder in a big over

MEK Hussey c Yuvraj Singh b Joginder Sharma 13 (12b 0x4 1x6) SR: 108.33

22 needed from 3 balls

19.4 Joginder Sharma to Lee, 2 runs, low full-toss on the off stump, thumped over the leg side, just two and now 20 needed from 2 balls. India are through to the final barring a no-ball

19.5 Joginder Sharma to Lee, OUT, full, straight yorker and Lee has no chance as he has a big heave. The leg stump is uprooted and the Indians erupt in celebration. Another wicket as India really drive this win home

B Lee b Joginder Sharma 2 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100.00

19.6 Joginder Sharma to Johnson, FOUR, short one banged in, it's pulled for four but none of the Indian fielders care. India are in the final and it's against arch-rivals Pakistan! This has been a cracker of a game and India have pulled one over Australia

I know that all the cricket fans of both the teams on Gallery and the in front of the TV set were anxious till the first three balls of the over. Now you all know about the result. I am inviting you and all to watch the final match along with Pakistan.

Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup: Twenty20 semifinal vs ICC World Cup Semifinal (1992)

Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup: Twenty20 semifinal vs ICC World Cup Semifinal (1992)

Pakistan reached Final beating New Zealand by 6 wickets in the first semifinal of Twenty20 world Cup in Cape Town. In this moment I want to remind the readers who saw the ICC World Cup in 1992 and who did not see just know that what was the result at semi-final. Pakistan played the semi-final along with New Zealand. At that time, Pakistan beat New Zealand also won ICC Trophy by beating England, that time Imran Khan was the captain and that was his last world cup may he retired from International Cricket. The ICC championship was hosted by Australia.

Source Cricinfo:

Shoaib says: "First of all I want to thank you my team-mates. It's a great win, our bowlers, they're bowling brilliantly at the moment, they contained them."

Vettori says: "It just wasn't to be this time. We've been ragged with our batting. It's bitterly disappointing and I know the boys will be hurting a lot."

Shoaib again: "We are going to improve on our mistakes for the final where we will give 100 per cent."

Umar Gul is the deserved Man of the Match, with 3 for 15. "We have done a lot of hard work for the Twenty20, a lot of practice for yorkers, bouncers and the slower ones. We hope to continue with the same performance and I will try my best to perform the same way."

So, like 1992 ICC Final Pakistan suppose to win the Twenty20 Trophy. And the captain Shoeb Malik’s Dram is coming true which he told the media. In a international online newspaper The News reported a news with the heading “Skipper wants T20 crown”. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said his team was looking beyond tomorrow’s semifinals after they laboured to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Newlands on Thursday.

Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup Final: Pakistan teams in T20 Final

Pakistan and Twenty20 world Cup Final: Pakistan teams in T20 Final, It is very good news for Pakistan that they has reached to the final of Twenty20. The Final match will take place in Johannesburg on 24 September at 1200 GMT / 1400 Local. I gave the last over mainly victory over below.

Pakistan, then, are the first confirmed finalists in the first Twenty20 final… and aren’t they enjoying it? There’s even an on-pitch cartwheel from one of the support staff. They deserved to make it all the way, after suppressing New Zealand who had chosen to bat, then easing to the six-wicket victory.

18.5 Patel to Shoaib Malik, SIX, huge six over midwicket – massive pull that’s caught somewhere in the crowd who have now, as is traditional, gone wild

Vettori looks at once glum and resigned to his fate

18.4 Patel to Shoaib Malik, 2 runs, dropped. Nathan McCullum made good ground to meet the ball deep near the midwicket boundary

Smiles in the dug-out – they can sense their final place right now

18.3 Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, 1 run, swept easily behind square for a single

Pakistan in sight of the final now

18.2 Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, SIX, and is instantly punctured with a straight six over mid-off

The pressure’s building

18.1 Patel to Misbah-ul-Haq, no run, driven out to a straight mid-on

After some time we all will be con firm that which team will going to play along with Pakistan in Johannesburg.

You will also get match articles on this series in the site. For this opportunity millions of cricket fans will able to see the cricket match.

First I am describing about Pakistan team. In the first match of qualified round Pakistan beat Scotland by 51 runs. In that match Pakistan went to bat first and a big scored of 171 runs. Running behind these runs Scotland became all out at 120 runs. But in the second match along with India, they drown and the result became that Pakistan lost by bowl out. Here we can not think that Pakistan was a weak team, both bowling and batting were well.

In the super- 8, Pakistan will play semi-final with full of strength because they beat some strong team, ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and another strong team Sri Lanka and another team was Bangladesh. We can to tell Bangladesh as weak team because in the qualified round they beat West Indies and the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the super- 8 round, Pakistan had to pressure to beat Bangladesh.

In the match along with Sri Lanka in the Super- 8, Pakistani batsmen did 189 runs against the strong bowling of Sri Lanka. In spite of being strong batting-line-up Sri Lanka did not score more than 156 runs against the strong bowling of Pakistan. The second super- 8 match Pakistan played along with the ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and beat by 6 wickets. Although Australia scored a little bit big of 164 runs but Pakistani batsmen jumped over this runs by losing 5 wickets only.

I think all the cricket analyst will agree that Pakistan has reached to semi-final by fighting strongly with many strong teams. If they would do so, then they could play in the final. Here I want to remember the ICC 50-50 world cup at 1992, Pakistan reached semi-final and final with different barred and at last they won the World Cup by beating England. In this stage there is no difference.

The other team already has reached in the semi-final is the ICC 50-50 world champion Australia. Here is nothing to say that Australian has won the ICC Trophy last thee times. The last time they won the trophy unbeaten. Although Australia did not do well in the qualified and super- 8 round too but can fire any team any time. In the first match Zimbabwe beat Australia by 5 wickets. It is clear that they did not match with this format. But in the second match Australia beat England by 8 wickets.

After expiring the qualified round Australia is doing well. They beat Bangladesh by 9 wickets and Sri Lanka by 10 wickets. Day by day Australia is returning in their form and strength. Lee had told in a conversation that they did not experience on Twenty20 format. His comments are coming true. In the first match they have been beaten by Zimbabwe and form the second match they were turning back although the beat by Pakistan in the super- 8 round.

During the first match of qualified Australian scored a very poor of 138 runs. On that day, the unexpected batting destruction of Australia did not help them to build a comfortable score. As a result they lost the match by 5 wickets remaining 1 ball.

On the second match along with England, England did not do more that 135 runs against disgusting bowling and Australia reached the target and lose two wickets.

Australia played the first Super-8 match along with Bangladesh and the Australian bowlers did not give any opportunity to make a big score and stopped a small score of 123 runs. To reach the target Australia had to lose only one wicket.

Here bowling was the key point of Australia. Australian pacer B Lee’s hat-tick was the main turning point for making a short score.

We all know about the strong blowing and batting line and fielding too. By observing the entire match, it is clear that Australian is improving day by day. So it will not be fair that is a weak team as they had beaten by a weak team Zimbabwe and Pakistan in the first and super- 8 round.

From the Group E, India is going to play semi-final. After overcoming a long moment with South Africa they become qualified. By beating England in the super-8 (Super eight) series of Twenty (T20), India move up the expectation the million of Indian fans and turn over their concentrating to Twenty20 world Cup Championship because most of the cricket fans live in South Asia almost India. Absent of India form Twenty20 World Cup, is painful for all the fans. India beat England by 18 runs, in the same time; million of fans return their senses. In this match Indian won the toss and selected to bat first and scored 218. Most of the Indian batsmen came to the form, as a result India able to build the big scores of 218 runs. In this match G Gambhir, V Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh scored well and the success came easily. Here most important matter was Yuvraj Singh’s 58 runs. Now, he is the owner of the world record who took the quick fifty by 12 balls and took 36 runs in one over. Running behind these long scores, England did 200 runs. So it is clear that Indian bowlers did not do well in that match.

The last match of super- 8, India played along with South Africa. In this match India scored 153 runs by loosing 5 wickets. India lost some early wicket and fall in trouble but other drawn the match as a result the run came totally 153. Running behind 154 runs South Africa did not do well against the India and scored 119 runs by 9 wickets. In spite of doing well South Africa deprived to play the semi-final of the T20 world cup championship.

Despite of winning two matches South Africa would not play the semi-final for less NRR. For high NRR, now New Zealand will play the semi-final with Pakistan.

Along with India in the first of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) Daniel Vettori produced a superb spell of spin bowling as New Zealand beat India by 10 runs in the first game in the Super Eights's in Johannesburg . Vettori took 4-20 as India squandered a flying start in reply to New Zealand's score of 190 all out in Johannesburg.

Oram earlier made 35 in a crucial stand of 73 with Craig McMillan for the Kiwis after they slumped from 69-1 to 91-5. The pair struck seven sixes between them but the innings ended in chaos with four wickets falling in the final over, including three run outs.

Second match of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) New Zealand played along with England and England lost four wickets in as many overs to slump to 106 for five with 6.2 overs remaining, and then lost three more wickets in quick succession in the dying overs. But a determined 60-run stand off 42 balls between Styris and Craig McMillan put New Zealand back on track and guided them to their winning total. Batting cautiously at first, the pair accelerated at the halfway stage of the innings with Styris hitting Dimitri Mascarenhas for three successive sixes as New Zealand added 44 runs in three overs.

A brilliant piece of fielding from Maddy swung the momentum back in England's direction just as New Zealand had set their sights on a major score. Pushing for a quick second run, Styris was left short of his ground after a brilliant pick-up and direct throw from Maddy at mid-wicket to run him out for a 42 off 31 balls.

The total matches has come to end with full of misty. It again proved that there is no end word in cricket. It could turn over in any side. So the first match will be played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Cape Town and the second semi-final will be played between India vs Australia in Durban.

The second match will be played at 02 Oct at 03:30 GMT (09:00 IST)

Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium (locally known as Kaloor International Stadium) is an international stadium in Kochi, Kerala, India. With a capacity to hold 60,000 spectators, the stadium was built in 1996 during the tenure of K. Karunakaran as Chief Minister of Kerala.

The Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at Kochi, unusual for a cricket ground in India in that it is the home ground not just of the Kerala state Ranji team but also of the football club FC Kochi, has a reputation of being a batsman's paradise: in the first four games there were three totals in excess of 300, and five individual hundreds.

In this ground India played five matches along with different country in the world and won 4 matches and lost one with Zimbabwe. India played one match with Australia Apr 1, 1998 and India won by 41 runs.

I have given a short description about the second venue of India vs Australia match.

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Do you think that Pakistan will play Twenty20 (T20) Final?

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Do you think that Pakistan will play Twenty20 (T20) Final? No doubt that Pakistan is one of the strongest team in Twenty20 (T20) world cup. Depending on this strength Pakistan is going to play the semifinal along with New Zealand at Cape Town. Pakistan Captain Shoeb Malik keens not only to reach final but also win the Twenty20 Trophy. There are enough and establish cause, why Pakistan is strong. According to the cricket analysts, Pakistan bowling line is always strong but I think their batting line is also strong. Shoeb Malik and Shahid Afridi are seriously in form and also placed the position of Most Valuable Players (MVP) Twenty20 (T20). Shoeb Afridi is number one and Shoeb Malik is number eight.

For example, Shahid Afridi has so far scored 85 runs in 40 balls. But in his 40 balls, he was only expected to score 40 x 1.33 = 53.33 runs. So the difference of (85 - 53.33) = 31.67 is added to 85, to get a total of 116.67 batting points.

A bowler now gets 16 points for every wicket. Further, he is expected to concede 32 runs in his 4 overs. If he bowls economically and concedes less than 32 runs, the difference is added to his points tally. If he concedes more than 32 runs, the extra runs are deducted from his points.

We do not think that Shoeb Malik used a silly word. After observing all the matches and the strong mentality of the players, he expressed his opinion with media. What the result will come? We have to wait for 22 September.

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Australia will play Twenty20 (T20) Final? Do you agree?

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Australia will play Twenty20 (T20) Final? Do you agree? May be, Australia is going to face semifinal to Twenty20 (T20) in Durban and a home series along with India without Ponting. It is a big shock for Australia team. There is not doubt the he is one of the success Captain in Australia team. But I think, Australian is not less strong without Ponting. Ponting suffered a hamstring strain while batting during Australia’s six-wicket loss to Pakistan at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Tuesday night. Ponting’s injury, which did not allow him to field against Pakistan,

Weaknesses of Australia team: Left-armer Sohail Tanvir proved the undoing of the Oz top-order in their loss to Pakistan and in Rudra Pratap Singh India have a match-winning leftie that potentially could do the same. The Aussies can be a flustered bunch when their top three or four don't kick in.

The players suppose to be play in the tweny20 Semi-final, are below; Adam Glichrist, Matthew Hayden, Brad Hodge, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke, Brad Haddin, Brett Lee, Nathan Bracken, Mitchell Johnson, Stuart Clark.

Same thing is here like India that top-order batsmen’s early down fall is the big problem in the Australia Team now. In spite of some strong middle order batsmen like Brad Hodge, Andrew Symonds, Michael Hussey, Michael Clarke some time they had to fall seriously batting downfall. If Australia would maintain their middle warder then it will be easy to win. I think, the result of this match will show the reflection in the forthcoming ODI series along with India that will be hosted by India.

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Is India Strong Enough to play Twenty20 (T20) Final

Twenty20 world Cup Final: Is India Strong Enough to play Twenty20 (T20) Final, India could play on final if they can beat Australia in the semi-final in Durban. They team who win the match will play the final in Johannesburg. After this twenty20 world cup, India and Australia will meet again in a seven matches home series India. So both the team will try hardly to beat each other and will take the match seriously.

Weaknesses of Indian team: If their frontline attacks have an off day, India has only Yuvraj and Sehwag to call on for a couple of overs of part-time spin. Nothing extra to speak of in the medium-pace unit - that may turn out expensive.

The players suppose to be play in Semi-Final of Tewnty20 in Durban: India: Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Robin Uthappa, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Mahendra Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Ajit Agarkar, Rudra Pratap Singh, Shantha Sreesanth.

What India will have to do? We all know that most of the victory and defeat will depend on the success of the top-orders batsmen. So the match is the key to play final of T20 also a jumping inspirations for the home series between India and Australia. So India will have to try heart and soul, to win the match.

India vs Australia ODI Series: Twenty20 Semi-Final and upcoming ODI Series

Australia is going to play 7 matches series in India from 29 September. The series will start just after 4 days. In the semi-final India will face to Australia. To reach semi-final both teams had to face difficulties much. India and Australia both teams qualified for by beating tow teams. India beat South Africa and

Semi-Final Twenty20 (T20) Australia vs India: India versus Ponting Less Australia

In the second semifinal between India vs Australia will take place at Durban at IST 21:30. But Australia will play along with India without Ponting. Absence of Ponting, Gilchrist will lead the team. It’s a very bad news for Australian. During the match along with Pakistan, Ponting suffered a hamstring strain while batting during Australia’s six-wicket loss to Pakistan at the Wanderers in Johannesburg on Tuesday night. Ponting’s injury, which did not allow him to field against Pakistan, comes ahead of Australia’s must-win clash against Sri Lanka in Cape Town on Thursday.

· India vs Australia ODI Series: Match Schedule and Time Table from 29 september


Ponting may not attend the 7 matches’ series along with India form 29 September. Team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris said Ponting have to rest two or three weeks. As the series durations are 19 Sep to 17 Oct, so Ponting hope that he could attend last two matches.

"Brad Haddin has been added to the touring squad and will take part in the Indian tour until such time as Ricky recovers. Although Ricky's injury is very disappointing it gives us an opportunity to recognise the outstanding performances of Brad Haddin domestically and in his limited opportunities for Australia in the past 12 months."

Pontinng’s absence would suffer Australia both Twenty20 and tour of India. Anyway, we hope that he will come round soon and will back to the team.

Semi-Final & Final Twenty20 (T20): Pakistan Skipper wants T20 Trophy

Pakistan is number one team reached Tweny20 (T20) semi-final with full points by beating the three strong teams. In the semi-final match they will play along with New Zealand in Cape Town. Observing all the matches in Tweny20 (T20), Pakistan Captain keens to reach final and to win the trophy of Twenty20. In the qualified and super-8 round Pakistan beat some of super strong team like, Australia and Sri Lanka. Basically, Pakistan won the entire match except the match against India in qualified round. First time Pakistan drawn the match but was beaten by bowl out.

In a international online newspaper The News reported a news with the heading “Skipper wants T20 crown”. Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik said his team was looking beyond tomorrow’s semifinals after they laboured to a four-wicket win over Bangladesh in their final World Twenty20 Super Eights match here at the Newlands on Thursday.

“We had hiccups today,” Malik admitted. “We are much focused to improve on this performance,” he added

Malik said he wasn’t concerned about who Pakistan play on Saturday. “We have our sights set higher than the semifinals,” he said. “We are looking at winning the trophy,” he added.

He said he was told to play his natural game. “I went out to play as I do in domestic cricket and not worry about the opposition,” he said.

Yes, Pakistan captain could dream so because now they are the unbeaten team from super eight that reached Semi-final. Pakistan has a strong batting, bowling and fielding line-up. If they achieve more confidence in this one day gap by more practices then their dream will come true.

Semi-Final, Twenty20 (T20) World Championship: Who will win Pakistan or New Zealand?

The first Semi-final will be played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Cape Town on 22 September 2007. The match will be more fightable because Pakistan has qualified by wining three matches on the other hand New Zealand will try to break the position of Pakistan and try to set up their stability.

India vs Pakistan T20 Final: Live Score and Updates





· India vs Pakistan Twenty20 Final: Schedule, Live Score, Live Telecast commentary and team details

· India vs Australia ODI Series: Match Schedule and Time Table from 29 september

First I am describing about Pakistan team. In the first match of qualified round Pakistan beat Scotland by 51 runs. In that match Pakistan went to bat first and a big scored of 171 runs. Running behind these runs Scotland became all out at 120 runs. But in the second match along with India, they drown and the result became that Pakistan lost by bowl out. Here we can not think that Pakistan was a weak team, both bowling and batting were well.

In the super- 8, Pakistan will play semi-final with full of strength because they beat some strong team, ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and another strong team Sri Lanka and another team was Bangladesh. We can to tell Bangladesh as weak team because in the qualified round they beat West Indies and the match between Pakistan and Bangladesh in the super- 8 round, Pakistan had to pressure to beat Bangladesh.

In the match along with Sri Lanka in the Super- 8, Pakistani batsmen did 189 runs against the strong bowling of Sri Lanka. In spite of being strong batting-line-up Sri Lanka did not score more than 156 runs against the strong bowling of Pakistan. The second super- 8 match Pakistan played along with the ICC 50-50 world champion Australia and beat by 6 wickets. Although Australia scored a little bit big of 164 runs but Pakistani batsmen jumped over this runs by losing 5 wickets only.

I think all the cricket analyst will agree that Pakistan has reached to semi-final by fighting strongly with many strong teams. If they would do so, then they could play in the final. Here I want to remember the ICC 50-50 world cup at 1992, Pakistan reached semi-final and final with different barred and at last they won the World Cup by beating England. In this stage there is no difference.

The other team already has reached in the semi-final is the ICC 50-50 world champion Australia. Here is nothing to say that Australian has won the ICC Trophy last thee times. The last time they won the trophy unbeaten. Although Australia did not do well in the qualified and super- 8 round too but can fire any team any time. In the first match Zimbabwe beat Australia by 5 wickets. It is clear that they did not match with this format. But in the second match Australia beat England by 8 wickets.

After expiring the qualified round Australia is doing well. They beat Bangladesh by 9 wickets and Sri Lanka by 10 wickets. Day by day Australia is returning in their form and strength. Lee had told in a conversation that they did not experience on Twenty20 format. His comments are coming true. In the first match they have been beaten by Zimbabwe and form the second match they were turning back although the beat by Pakistan in the super- 8 round.

During the first match of qualified Australian scored a very poor of 138 runs. On that day, the unexpected batting destruction of Australia did not help them to build a comfortable score. As a result they lost the match by 5 wickets remaining 1 ball.

On the second match along with England, England did not do more that 135 runs against disgusting bowling and Australia reached the target and lose two wickets.

Australia played the first Super-8 match along with Bangladesh and the Australian bowlers did not give any opportunity to make a big score and stopped a small score of 123 runs. To reach the target Australia had to lose only one wicket.

Here bowling was the key point of Australia. Australian pacer B Lee’s hat-tick was the main turning point for making a short score.

We all know about the strong blowing and batting line and fielding too. By observing the entire match, it is clear that Australian is improving day by day. So it will not be fair that is a weak team as they had beaten by a weak team Zimbabwe and Pakistan in the first and super- 8 round.

From the Group E, India is going to play semi-final. After overcoming a long moment with South Africa they become qualified. By beating England in the super-8 (Super eight) series of Twenty (T20), India move up the expectation the million of Indian fans and turn over their concentrating to Twenty20 world Cup Championship because most of the cricket fans live in South Asia almost India. Absent of India form Twenty20 World Cup, is painful for all the fans. India beat England by 18 runs, in the same time; million of fans return their senses. In this match Indian won the toss and selected to bat first and scored 218. Most of the Indian batsmen came to the form, as a result India able to build the big scores of 218 runs. In this match G Gambhir, V Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh scored well and the success came easily. Here most important matter was Yuvraj Singh’s 58 runs. Now, he is the owner of the world record who took the quick fifty by 12 balls and took 36 runs in one over. Running behind these long scores, England did 200 runs. So it is clear that Indian bowlers did not do well in that match.

The last match of super- 8, India played along with South Africa. In this match India scored 153 runs by loosing 5 wickets. India lost some early wicket and fall in trouble but other drawn the match as a result the run came totally 153. Running behind 154 runs South Africa did not do well against the India and scored 119 runs by 9 wickets. In spite of doing well South Africa deprived to play the semi-final of the T20 world cup championship.

Despite of winning two matches South Africa would not play the semi-final for less NRR. For high NRR, now New Zealand will play the semi-final with Pakistan.

Along with India in the first of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) Daniel Vettori produced a superb spell of spin bowling as New Zealand beat India by 10 runs in the first game in the Super Eights's in Johannesburg . Vettori took 4-20 as India squandered a flying start in reply to New Zealand's score of 190 all out in Johannesburg.

Oram earlier made 35 in a crucial stand of 73 with Craig McMillan for the Kiwis after they slumped from 69-1 to 91-5. The pair struck seven sixes between them but the innings ended in chaos with four wickets falling in the final over, including three run outs.

Second match of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) New Zealand played along with England and England lost four wickets in as many overs to slump to 106 for five with 6.2 overs remaining, and then lost three more wickets in quick succession in the dying overs. But a determined 60-run stand off 42 balls between Styris and Craig McMillan put New Zealand back on track and guided them to their winning total. Batting cautiously at first, the pair accelerated at the halfway stage of the innings with Styris hitting Dimitri Mascarenhas for three successive sixes as New Zealand added 44 runs in three overs.

A brilliant piece of fielding from Maddy swung the momentum back in England's direction just as New Zealand had set their sights on a major score. Pushing for a quick second run, Styris was left short of his ground after a brilliant pick-up and direct throw from Maddy at mid-wicket to run him out for a 42 off 31 balls.

The total matches has come to end with full of misty. It again proved that there is no end word in cricket. It could turn over in any side. So the first match will be played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Cape Town and the second semi-final will be played between India vs Australia in Durban.

South Africa v India of the super-8 Twenty20: Live telecast, scoreboard Analysis. The match South Africa vs India is most important for Indian team. They must win to qualify for the semi-final.

Semi-Final, Twenty20 (T20) World Championship: Fixture and Time Schedule with IST, CST



India vs Australia ODI Series: Match Schedule and Time Table from 29 september


South Africa v India of the super-8 (Super eight) series of Twenty (T20) is going to place on 20 September and according to this match the super- 8 will be end. Mentionable, the super-8 (Super eight) series started with the match between New Zealand v India. Anyway, what the result will come? Now, million of fans are waiting for the next match between India and South Africa.

By beating England in the super-8 (Super eight) series of Twenty (T20), India move up the expectation the million of Indian fans and turn over their concentrating to Twenty20 world Cup Championship because most of the cricket fans live in South Asia almost India. Absent of India form Twenty20 World Cup, is painful for all the fans. India beat England by 18 runs, in the same time; million of fans return their senses. In this match Indian won the toss and selected to bat first and scored 218. Most of the Indian batsmen came to the form, as a result India able to build the big scores of 218 runs. In this match G Gambhir, V Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh scored well and the success came easily. Here most important matter was Yuvraj Singh’s 58 runs. Now, he is the owner of the world record who took the quick fifty by 12 balls and took 36 runs in one over. Running behind these long scores, England did 200 runs. So it is clear that Indian bowlers did not do well in that match. If India wants to go to semi-final then they must beat South Africa.

On the other hand, South Africa beat unbeaten New Zealand team by 6 wickets, running behind 153 runs. South Africa overcome qualified part with full of strength and unbeaten but they already has won two matches in the super- 8 part. We can thing that South Africa is qualified for the semi-final because their NRR is +0.766. Anyway, we all know about the South African strong bowling and batting line-up. So it is tough for any team to beat South Africa easily. In the first match South Africa beat England by 19 runs and in the second match they ruled New Zealand with a strong hand and won by 6 wickets. So it is clear that South Africa will try to reach semi-final unbeaten and try to hold the stability.

If India want to achieve the qualification for semi-final, there is no doubt that they have to beat South Africa. Here is a strong condition which is, if India could beat South Africa in a long distance they south Africa could out form the semi-final. So South Africa will try to beat India.

India could win along South Africa if they show a very good batting performance like today; Indian batsmen will have to show very good jobs. I think India’s performances along with England will help them to do well, especially mentally.

After achieving the Super Eight (super-8, T20) qualification now India will have to play strongly for the semi-final. For this they have to beat at least tow teams. Will they will this race? I think you all will say that yes. For this they will have to play carefully. The have to show a very good jobs bowling, fielding and batting.

If you look over the previous series with England you easily detect that how bad fielding the Indian team was. They lost the series only for their bad fielding. That time the entire cricket specialist told, with this kind of bad fielding India will not go far. Anyway, I think everyone will agree with me that the fielding was changed amazing in last match of T20 between India and Pakistan. It is the best key points of Indian team.

Other important key point is bowling was really good. The young blowers did very well.

The first round of T20 world Cup championship has over. The super eight (super-8) matches will be started on 16 September 2007. On the first three matches will be played at Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg, Newlands and Cape Town.

The matches of the of super-8 started with the match India vs New Zealand First Day

The first match will take place between India and New Zealand. Both the teams have come to the super-8 after at unbreakable struggle. India achieved 1 point form the first match that was stopped for rain and got two points by beating Pakistan with bowl out. On the other hand, New Zealand beat Kenya easily by their strong bowling also batting too. The match between New Zealand and India live action will start from: 08:00 GMT (13:30 IST) at New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg

The second match of super-8 (T20) also the second match of this day will take place at 12:00 GMT (17:30 IST). In this match Bangladesh will struggle with the ICC Word champion Australia. I want to mention that Bangladesh achieve the super-8 qualification by beating the top team West Indies and did and fighting score of 144 runs against South Africa. Although Australia achieve the super-8 ability but beaten by Zimbabwe. The match will take place at Newlands, Cape Town.

The most combating and strapping match of this day and also the third match of super-8 will be played between South Africa and England. Here South Africa has beaten both the team in the qualified round on the other hand England is not less strong than South Africa. They beat Zimbabwe and fought most with the World Champion Australia too.

Super- eight

After many new drama now eight teams has been confirmed who will play in the super eight of the T20 World Cup Championship. The teams are from Group-A Bangladesh and South Africa, Group-B Australia and England, Group-C Sri Lanka and New Zealand Group-D India and Pakistan. Only two matches remain. After 15 September 2007 it will be clear that in which teams will be the winner and runner up of Group-A and Group-C.

The first day of the Super eight matches of T20 championship will be started from 16 September. On 16 September 3 matcher will be played two matches in Cape Town and one Johannesburg.

The second day of T20 world cup championship is 17 September. At that day only one match will be played at Johannesburg. The 3rd day, 18 September three matches will be played, among them two matches will be played at Johannesburg and one at Durban. On the fourth day tow matches will be played at Durban and the fifth or final day of super eight there matches will be played among them two on Cape Town and one in Durban.

In the super eight of T20 World Cup Championship every team will have to play three matches with the others teams except the own group team. After completing the matches top four teams will be selected for the semifinals according to their qualifications.

I think in the super eight the cricket lovers will see more drama too which happened at first round.

India could win along South Africa if they show a very good batting performance like today; Indian batsmen will have to show very good jobs. I think India’s performances along with England will help them to do well, especially mentally.

What is your opinion about New Zealand team? Will they play in final of Tweny20 (20) world cup? Yes, because New Zealand has beat two teams and become qualified for the semi-final of Twenty20 (T20). Now New Zealand has come to front as a strong team.

Along with India in the first of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) Daniel Vettori produced a superb spell of spin bowling as New Zealand beat India by 10 runs in the first game in the Super Eights's in Johannesburg . Vettori took 4-20 as India squandered a flying start in reply to New Zealand's score of 190 all out in Johannesburg.

Oram earlier made 35 in a crucial stand of 73 with Craig McMillan for the Kiwis after they slumped from 69-1 to 91-5. The pair struck seven sixes between them but the innings ended in chaos with four wickets falling in the final over, including three run outs.

Second match of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) New Zealand played along with England and England lost four wickets in as many overs to slump to 106 for five with 6.2 overs remaining, and then lost three more wickets in quick succession in the dying overs. But a determined 60-run stand off 42 balls between Styris and Craig McMillan put New Zealand back on track and guided them to their winning total. Batting cautiously at first, the pair accelerated at the halfway stage of the innings with Styris hitting Dimitri Mascarenhas for three successive sixes as New Zealand added 44 runs in three overs.

A brilliant piece of fielding from Maddy swung the momentum back in England's direction just as New Zealand had set their sights on a major score. Pushing for a quick second run, Styris was left short of his ground after a brilliant pick-up and direct throw from Maddy at mid-wicket to run him out for a 42 off 31 balls.

New Zealand won the matches for their strong batting, bowling and fielding. When batting did not able to make a strong score that time New Zealand’s strong bowling and fielding turned the follow to win the match. Both the jobs helped New Zealand to win the match.

Teams of Semi-Final and schedule

After beating along with India by bowl out Pakistan team members are thinking to bring Shahid Afridi up order. I think their measurement is ok and they could reach the semi-final or final too. If Afridi comes up Pakistan team will do well, the members of selector board are thinking hardly about it. But on the match with Sri Lanka in Super-8, we did not see any changes.

News on The Hindu reported, Chief selector Salahuddin Ahmed spoke to his colleague Shafqat Rana, who is with the team, and expressed his concern over the team management's decision to send Afridi down the order.

Salahuddin has advised the management to play Mohammed Hafeez in place of Imran Nazir and send in Afridi with at least 10 overs remaining in the match to give him a proper opportunity to free his arms, a board official said.

Sources in the board said the chief selector was not happy with the strategy adopted by Coach Geoff Lawson and Captain Shoaib Malik for the last game against India which Pakistan lost on a "bowl out".

Afridi is well known as a hard hitting batsman. If he brings up basically for power play the Pakistan will do better.

Teams of Semi-Final and schedule

South Africa v India of the super-8 Twenty20

Australia will play semi-final & final of Twenty20 (T20)!! Is here any doubt? I think no doubt about it. In the first match Australian beat Bangladesh easily. On 18 September, Australia will take place along with New Zealand at Kingsmead in Durban.

During the first match of qualified Australian scored a very poor of 138 runs. On that day, the unexpected batting destruction of Australia did not help them to build a comfortable score. As a result they lost the match by 5 wickets remaining 1 ball.

On the second match along with England, England did not do more that 135 runs against disgusting bowling and Australia reached the target and lose two wickets.

Australia played the first Super-8 match along with Bangladesh and the Australian bowlers did not give any opportunity to make a big score and stopped a small score of 123 runs. To reach the target Australia had to lose only one wicket.

Here bowling was the key point of Australia. Australian pacer B Lee’s hat-tick was the main turning point for making a short score.

While wickets can fall quickly in this slog-fest form of the game with wild swings and catches on the boundary, all three of Lee’s victims were genuine bowler’s wickets.

The first was left-hander Shakib Al Hasan, who was caught behind attempting to cut a shortish ball too close to him. It was a length Lee bowled regularly to the Bangladeshis, who are not used to short-pitched fast bowling.

His second wicket was Mashrafe Mortaza bowled by a yorker and the third Alok Kapali leg before wicket to a full delivery.

Things became even more bizarre when Lee almost bowled Farhad Reza with another yorker from the next delivery but it was a no ball, which gives batsmen a free hit at the next ball in Twenty20 cricket.

Both of sides batting, bowling and fielding are well in the team so they could see the dream of winning the trophy.

Super Eight (super-8, T20) Twenty20 World Cup: what are the key points of Pakistan Team?

Will Pakistan play on T20 Semi-final & T20 final too of Tweny20? Pakistan is playing to play their first match of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) along with Sri Lanka in Johannesburg. In the qualified round of Twenty20, Pakistan ruled Scotland with a strong hand as a result they won the match easily. Although India beat Pakistan by bowl out but their bowling and batting was amazing on the qualified round of Twenty20 (T20).

In the fast match along with Scotland, Pakistan scored an innings of 171 runs. Most of the batsman did well except Imran Nazir. On the second match that played with India and scored 141 runs as a result the math came tie. Pakistani batsmen tried to do well but against the devastating blowing of India, for this they had to stop at 141 runs.

Pakistan just has finished the match of Super- 8 of Twenty20 (T20) along with Sir Lanka and the result come that Pakistan has win by 33 runs. In this match Pakistan built a score of 189 runs. On the other hands Sri Lanka’s batsmen had to end their match rest of 33 runs. So it is clear that Pakistan’s bowling was also well.

After observing the last three matches you easily bring out the result that in this three matches Pakistan bowling side was too strong but the batting side did take any benefit during the match with India only.

Super Eight (super-8, T20) Twenty20 World Cup: what are the key points of Sri Lanka Team?

Super Eight (super-8, T20) Twenty20 World Cup: what are the key points of Sri Lanka Team?

Sri Lanka is the best team among the teams who are plying in Twenty (T20) World Cup 2007. After overcoming the qualified stage with full points, now Sri Lanka is going to play the super- 8 match with another strong team Pakistan. The match will take place at 17 Sep 2007 in New Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg.

In the first match, Sri Lanka did the highest score of 260 runs by 6 wickets. Sri Lanka’s key player Sanath Jayasuriya did 88 runs with 11 fours but no sixes. On the other had the captain M Jayawardene 65, K Sangakkara 30 (18, 4x5, 6x0) and the lower order batsman J Mubarak did very good score of 46 with 5 sixes and 3 fours. So these kinds of strong batting line could do any devastate in cricket history. Mentionable, that 260 runs was a record of Twenty20 (T20) history.

In the second match, Sri Lanka won the match by 7 wickets. On that day ST Jayasuriya did 61runs and M Jayawardene did 35 run (not out). Sri Lanka reached their target by 18.5 overs.

On the other hand New Zealand did not make a strong score for Sri Lanka’s strong bowling.

Other key point is the bowling line-up. Chaminda, Dilhara Fernando, Sanath Jayasuriya, L Malinga, andT Dilshan are in very good form and the fielding side of Sri Lanka is always better.

If you observe with as strong view it is clear that only Sri Lanka is a strong team of Twenty20 (T20) world cup. What do you think?
