From the group- F, Pakistan and Australia will play Semi-Final. After two 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.

India vs Pakistan T20 Final: Live Score and Updates
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.
