We already have known that the opening match gets underway with South Africa and Sri Lanka one year later SuperSport Park instead of Pakistan . The opening match is scheduled as a day-night, so the lighting and the colorful events will be enrolled at the end of the match. I want to remind the second season of IPL twenty20 league tournament was held in the same country earlier this year. This is the third events that South Africa is going to organized this kinds of with in two years. By organizing the Twenty20 world championship, the nation praised over the world. They will also the host country of Fifa World cup 2010.
After the cricket World cup, long time have been passed but did not organized any single event like world competition. So, this event comes such time when the limited over match is on dissecting table of many question.
The tournament arrives at a time when questions are being asked about the future of the 50 overs-a-side format. The competition here could be critical to the survival of ODI cricket in its present form.
In ODI cricket, there is time and space for batsmen to build an innings, for bowlers to send down longer spells with reasonably attacking fields. Here, the sides have a greater chance to regroup and recover.
In recent news I found that the master bluster batsman Sachin Tendulkar proposed ICC that if the one-day international match could inaugurate in two innings. ICC committee has accepted that proposal and the experimentally will be held soon.
I am disappointed that after 2007 more the four most money making games are held. Among them two IPL tournaments and two twenty20 matches. So it is natural the attraction and flavor of the limited over match has washed out from the cricket fans memory.
