Virtual Quarter Final for Pakistan & West Indies Today in ICC World T20

In the ICC world T20 world cup 2014, today Pakistan and West Indies will play the last match of the group stage. For both the teams this is a must win match as the victory here would take the winning team to the semi-finals stage of the tournament. This makes the T20 match today a quarter final match for both the teams.

Interestingly this is first time that Pakistan and West Indies will face each other in a T20 world cup. Both the team have a good spin attack and equally good batting line.

Another group stage match will feature Australia and Bangladesh. Both the teams have lost all the three matches they have played so far and this is the last chance to quit the tournament with a win.

ICC Twenty Twenty Word Cup update: 

• SL beat NZ in a virtual quarter final - Just like the match today between Pak and WI, the yesterday match for Sri Lanka and New Zealand was a quarter final. Sri Lanka team won the match and proceed to the semi finals stage along with South Africa and India. It was a low scoring match and initially it seemed Sri Lanka might lose the match but a powerful spell from Herath, combined with an injury and two run outs cost the match for New Zealand team.
• Netherland beat England: This was one of the match that got minimum crowd. And to surprise all Netherland won the match. 

ICC World T20 semi final 1 - The first semi final of the tournament will be played between Sri Lanka and the winner of the match today (Pak Vs WI). In case the match between both the teams is washed out West Indies will qualify based on better net run rate. Match will be played on 3-April-2014 at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur

ICC World T20 semi final2 - The second semi final will be played between India and South Africa. India is so far the only undefeated team in the tournament. However South Africa team has a very aggressive pace attack lead by Dale Steyn.  Though South Africa has never won any major international event, I'm getting the feel that South Africa team may feature in the T20 world cup final on April 6. In case this happens it could be first world cup final for South Africa.

First Match - England vs New Zealand - Both these teams play a similar kind of cricket, so this could be another exciting match in the T20 world cup 2014. Recently the New Zealand team has some good series against India at home but here in Balgladesh the playing conditions are different so this could be a hard match to NZ and same applies to the English team as well. Positives for New Zealand team - they have the leading run scorer in T20s with them, Brendon McCullumis already 600+ runs ahead of the second highest run getter in the shorter format of the game.

T20 Dhamaka - India Vs Pakistan in ICC World T20

Are you ready for the T20 game of the tournament. Yes I'm talking about the twenty twenty match between India and Pakistan to be played tomorrow. This match could perhaps be the most watched match and unexpected crowd might turn up for the match.

India and Pakistan matches are always a cracker and T20 adds more excitement to that. Pakistan team has shown the T20 caliber in the past by featuring in the two finals, winning one. Indian cricket team on the other hand not matched to the expectations after surprisingly winning the inaugural T20 world cup in 2007. They have some good match winners like Yuvraj, Dhoni etc but Indian cricket team has played very less T20 international matches recently. However the Indian coach, captain and the BCCI is banking on the experience of IPL.

Both India and Pakistan are in a difficult group with Australia and West Indies the other teams in the group. It'd be nice for both the teams to start the tournament on a winning node. A win not only means a good start but might make is easier for them to qualify for the next round of the T20 world cup.

Good luck to both the teams.
