Croatia might seem to be a bit ahead of Turkey considering their hundred percent winning record in the group stage. However, taking Turkey’s superb comebacks in the last two group matches into account, I think, Turkey has the ability to defeat Croatia in the match. So, to be honest, I do not see any favorite team for this match, as both the teams have some strong sides that would help them in the quarter final. The question lies here is that if the two sides will be able to continue their impressive form in the quarter final as well. The answer will make the difference between the two teams in the match. However, one thing is for sure that both sides know it very well that a semi final berth would take them very close to winning the title of Euro 2008. So, don’t you think that an excellent match is waiting there at the Ernst Happel, Vienna in Austria?

The first Quarter Final clash of Euro 2008 between Portugal vs Germany is going to kick off Basel St. Jakob-Park, Switzerland at 20:45 local time on Thursday 19 June 2008. Portugal is the champion of Group A and Germany is the Runner-up of Group B, after playing three matches in the qualifying match. The Quarter final of Euro 2008 is a knock out.

Portugal vs Germany: Portugal is worry about Germany

Germany's last meeting with Portugal in the European Championship was a humiliating 3-0 defeat in the group phase in 2000 but they did get a measure of revenge with a 3-1 victory in the third-placed match at the last World Cup. So Germany is the most favorite for the Euro Cup Championship.

Portugal vs German first Quarter Final: Germany is most favorite team?

In spite of Germany injury, they are confident about their victory in the quarter final alongside the super form Portugal. Why? Although I did not get any information of pervious Euro championship where the tows come to field to face each other but German defeated Portugal during the European Championship and Portugal defeat Germany in the last Word Cup championship.

England vs New Zealand 2nd ODI: England is positive for next ODI

The NatWest Series 2008 ODI Cricket Series, is in England, is taking place between England and New Zealand. The first ODI was over and England secured a crucial victory against New Zealand of 114 runs. The both side bowling and batting has brought the notable wins. The fans who watch the match live could understand that England is playing their excellent match in the last two matches Twenty20 international and One Day International.

The host England secured an important victory against Black Caps in Tewnty20 match and First ODI, which will inspire to play a best cricket in the 2^nd ODI match that will be held at Edgbaston, Birmingham. It is the summer season in England now that is why all matches are taking place as a Day-light match.

In the first ODI Cricket tournament of the ongoing NatWest Series 2008 almost all players played well and I R Bell, K P Pietersen and captain P D Collingwood’s strong batting reached England in a top high score of 307 runs by losing 5 wickets. K P Pietersen, who is playing a lot of matches form the Word cup did not acquired any hundred.

It was Pietersen's first hundred since the World Cup, 15 months and 21 matches ago, and his first in a one-day international in England. It provided more than a third of England's total of 307 for five. New Zealand's response was always going to centre on their playmakers Brendon McCullum and Ross Taylor. But when neither reached 50, the task proved too great as England romped home by a whopping 114 runs.

Although the opening bowlers Anderson and Sidebottom could not show any economy with their bowling but Broad, Swann and skipper Collingwood’s aggressive bowling destroyed all the base of the New Zealand’s batting line-up. Collingwood obtained 4 wicket form 15 runs. May be this is one of his best bowing figure.

All the figures are forecasting that England will show other big performances in the 2^nd ODI match too.

Ind vs Pak Kitply Tri-series: who will win in final?

To Watch India vs Pakistan Kitply Tri-Nation Final

http://www.indianraj.com/2008/06/india_pakistan_tri_series_fina.html

India and Pakistan is going to play in the Kitply Tri-Series cricket tournament final match tomorrow. India is has secure the full points from the qualified round and Pakistan was on the second position just has won one match of the two to play the final match. With this, the arch-rival India vs Pakistan is going to meet in final of the Kitply Tri-nation Cricket Tournament again.

Dear fans, you all know that the people of the Indian Sub-continent always enjoy the matches between Ind vs Pak with a most excitement. In the pervious math of Kitply Cup Tri-nation Series between India and Pakistan, the gallery was full to the brim and I think it will be repeated in final cricket match of the Tri-Nation series tournament. It proves how favorite the matches between Indian and Pakistan are! although Bangladesh was another team here.

The first match between India and Pakistan review:

The first match between the two was full of enthusiasm. India won the toss and elected to bat first and own by 140 with a mind blowing performances of the players form the both side batting and fielding. So it is a dependable work style for the final match of the ongoing series of the Kitply Tri-Nation tournament series.

Indian top order batsmen G Gambhir, V Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh’s successive performances help India to score a big score of 330 runs that will inspire them to do well in the final match. G Gambhir scored 62 runs from 62 balls by hitting 6 fours, V Sehwag acquired 89 runs form 76 balls with 13 fours and just a single six and another hard hitter batsman Yuvraj Singh obtained 55 runs from 54 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. The middle order batsmen YK Pathan and RG Sharma failed to attain any good score to the India and the run rate was gone slowly. But the lower-middle batsmen did well that is why India could secure another big sore against Pakistan in the One Day International tournament.

During the match, the second match of Kitply Cup Tri-Series tournament, Indian bowlers threw a challenge to the Pakistani batsmen. The new bowler Praveen Kumar and Piyush Chawla secured 4 wickets each. With this aggressive bowling India did not built any strong base in the Pakistan side. Piyush Chawla acquired his top bowing figure in the ODI tournament in the Kitply Cup Tri-Series tournament 4 wickets for 40 runs. On the other hand the Praveen Kumar obtained his 3^rd 4 wickets in the One Day International tournament.

I wrote before that Pakistan batsmen did not built any strong partnership against the second match of the of the Kitply Cup Tri-Series tournament. The top and top-middle order batsmen’s early downfall turned the team in the dangerous position. As a result, Pakistan lost all wickets just secured 190 runs form 35.4 overs. Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik scored 53 runs and the higher scorer. Kamran Akmal is the second highest scorer, Misbah-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi just scored 24 and 23 runs each.

We can not say that Pakistan showed very good performances alongside the wicker team of the Kitply Tri-Nation Series tournament. In case of rain, the authority decided to decrease the overs and fixed it for 40 over. Pakistan secured 233 runs by remaining 39.3 balls losing all wickets.

During the match between Bangladesh and Pakistan, Pak bowlers showed good presentation but they seems helpless to the Indian batting. During the match alongside India of the Kitply Cup Tri-Nation Series, Omar Gul showed best staging and achieved 3 wickets by giving huge runs of 60. Most interesting thing is that the most successive bowler of the Pakistan side, Sohail Tanvir showed performances in the matches disappointed all the fans of Pakistan.

From the reviews, anyone can assume that Indian is standing in the strong situation from both the sites bowing and bating. Indian top order batting is so strong now that they could do anything any time. If Pakistan wants to win the Kitply Cup Tri-Nation series Tournament trophy they will have to show a good act in the final of the series.
