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.
