Super Eight (super-8, T20) Twenty20 World Cup: what are the key points of Australia Team for Semi-Final & Final?

Super Eight (super-8, T20) Twenty20 World Cup: what are the key points of Australia Team for Semi-Final & Final?

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)New Zealand vs India, Australia vs Bangladesh and South Africa vs England: Live Telecast, Live Website and Analysis

Super Eight (super-8, T20): Live Telecast, Live Website and Analysis

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.

· 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

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.

Indian Team is confidence:

After crossing a long or short history Indian has qualified for the Super Eight (super-8) of Twenty20 (T20) World cup Championship. On 16 September the first match of Eight (super-8) will be started. After beating Pakistan they are confidence that India will do better. Inddia is going to face New Zealand.

Why India is confidence that is clear on the reports of SkySports Shanthakumaran Sreesanth held his nerve to save the day for India, though, Misbah (53) being run out off the final ball trying to sneak the match-winning single.

The dramatic finish was a fitting finale to a see-saw Twenty20 battle that wasn't even dampened by three breaks for rain.

India had found it hard going after being put into bat by Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Asif demolishing their top order with an impressive spell that saw him take 4-18.

It was left to Robin Uthappa, who made 50 off 39 balls, and skipper Dhoni (33) to rebuild the innings with a 46-run partnership.

Sri Lanka is the best team of Twenty20 (T20) World cup Championship 2007 although Muthaia Muralidharan is not on the team. Sri Lanka has a very good batting and bowling order. I think Sri Lanka will win the Twenty20 (T20) World cup Championship 2007 Trophy.

If you observe their team performances you easily comprehend that how strong they are! In their first match they did a record quantity of runs. They have broken all the records. Probably you will say that their record was against a weak team. I think it is not fair because Kenya beaten may top level teams in international match.

When I was writing the article then Sri Lanka was playing the second match along with New Zealand. After winning toss New Zealand elected bat first and Sri Lanka close their match in runs. So, they were playing with a strong team there.

Anyway, the total performances are well. So it will be hard to beat Sri Lanka.

Super Eight and India Pakistan Match

India and Pakistan both is qualified for the Super Eight. The match between India and Pakistan is always encouragement for both the fans. It has become a tradition that India will beat Pakistan in World Cricket Championship. In spite of being very good batting and bowling line Pakistan lost the match along with India at first round of T20 world cup championship.

In the first qualified round India vs Scotland match has stopped dew to rain. So they had to distribute the points equal. The next match was India versus Pakistan. In that match Pakistan won the toss and elected to field first despite of t the pitch reporters repots. As a result Pakistan had to pay for their off beam decision and beat by India.

In the beginning of the match it seemed that Pakistan took was right and they reduced four wickets at 37 runs, as a result Indian did not go over 142 runs despite of Indian’s strong batting line up.

In the second half when Pakistan came to batting then it proved. According to the pitch reporter the wicket came to the favor for the bowlers and Pakistan had to fall pressure to fill-up the target of 142 runs.

Some new agency published news that Pakistan want to remove their previous tradition. But luck did not favor them and they had to stop the match of 142 runs as a tie. As, the T20 is a new formatted word cup, they had to break the tie. As a Pakistan lost the match and India holds their tradition.

Both the teams have achieved their qualifications for the super eight. Although they will not face each other at the super eight but if they do well then they again would have to face the semi-final or final.

Super Eight of Twenty20 World Cup Championship

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.
