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.
