Super Eights Match 2 - West Indies vs England

I hope you all liked the Super Eights match one between Sri Lanka and New Zealand.  Before I write here about the second match today between West Indies and England which is just about to begin in next few minutes, I'd like to ask for your appologies about my previous post. There is one correction that I'd like to make that the Super Eight stage is not a knock out state rather all the eight team that have qialified have been placed in two groups, thus each team here will play 3 games each and 2 team from each group will qualify for the semi finals. 

Though England are the defending champions and currently ranked one in the ICC T20 rankings, they have some problems against spin bowling. Since West Indies team have some very quality spin bowlers like Sunil Narine, Gayle, Badree etc, it'd be interesting to see how England batsmen make up for this. West Indies batting on the other hand is most strong batting line in T20s, with some players that can single handly win matches for the team. England team has the dual pressue first to face the spin attach and then stop West Indies hitter from scoring runs. Let see if England can win this match or not.

If you ask me I'd favor the West Indies team as the winners of this match, but since cricket is a game of uncertainity specially the Two format anything can happen. In any cast the game would be an entertainer I guess. Let wait few minutes to catch all the live action and see the scorebaordh ticking live for the match.
 

Super Eights Match Live Score - Sri Lanka v New Zealand

In the first match of the Super Eights in ICC Twenty 20 world cup, host Sri Lanka will face New Zealand. As the group stages matches are over now all the remainng matches are knockout matches i.e the 4 winners from the Super Eights will qualify for the semi finals and then the 2 winners from semi finals will play the final to decide the New T20 world champions.

Both Sri Lanka and New Zealand team have average performance in the T20 world cup 2012 so far. Both teams have won one group stage match and lost one as well. However given that ew Zealand team is little inconveninet against the spin bowlers Sri Lankan team might have a upper edge but at the same time one must not forget that Sri Lankan pitches are not dead for fast bowlers as in the past. Thus New Zealand fast bowler might provide the team a start needed for winning the match.

Match will be played tomorrow, 27-Sept at 15:30 local  (+5:30) at Pallekele stadium Sri Lanka. I hope the weather will not play any spoil sport and we'll see full and entertaining match tomorrow.  Please note that this is not the only match to be played in Super Eights tomorrow, England & West Indies will be face to face in another exciting knock out match that will start after the match between Sri Lanka and New Zealand.
