All the limited over matches will be arranged as a Day-Night match because of two reason. The first one is; there is hot season because the sun is standing in the south part of the globe and the second one is commercial reason. India is so far to New Zealand and for the geological location the time is difference. It is 7 hours between the two countries.

The Time Schedule and Fixture of Asia Cup 2008

Just after a few days another awaited tournament between the Asian Countries called Asian Cup 2008 is going to hold. All the matches will be hosted by Pakistan in to cities Karachi and Lahore.

From Group-A and Group-B two teams will be qualified from each groups. The four teams will be played another qualified round each other and two teams will get pass for the final match.

All the matches will be held as a day-night match. Now it is the hot season in this area. May be this is the main cause to be held. According to GMT the match timetable will be 6:00. So a good number of cricket fans could miss the first innings who are living in the European Countries. Similarly the fans who are in the American continent will miss all the matches.

Previous Two Matches and next time Schedule of Kolkata Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders the top score holders among the IPL Teams. Now IPL has become a most exciting and poplar match. The first two matches Kolkata Knight Riders has won were more suffocating. On 18 April, in the inaugural ceremony, they beat Bangalore Loyal Challengers by a long distance of 140 runs and in the second match it beat Deccan Chargers by 5 wickets.

In the first match, the winning hero was MoM - Brendon McCullum who scored 158 runs not out just played 73balls. It is the individual highest score in Twenty20 history and IPL (Indian Premier League) too. Scoring this runs he achieves a respected cap.

On the other hands, in the second match, the team was about to loss but David Hussey’s 6 in the last ball help Kolkata Knight Riders winner. That is why he selected as the Man of the Match.

The last matches will be more keyed up there is nothing new to say. Here I have added a complete Fixtures and time Schedule for you.

ICL Match Schedule from 9 March 2008

The second ICL tournament will be held on 9 March 2008. So now the most important thing for the ICL fans is the schedule and timetable. I think the fans are expecting the schedule most because this tournament is different from the first and inaugural series. May be this time the ICL tournament will be held in three grounds and the impressive is that Pakistan players will play in an individual team named Lahore Badshahs.
