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.

Second Match - Sri Lanka Vs South Africa - This could be a Malinga vs Steyn in case both the players are fit for the match today. Both the teams are strong in all the depts like bowling, batting and fielding. However these two team despite performing well haven't won any bing international tournament from a long time. While South African team have never gone ahead the knok our stage, they lost all the knock out matches from last 15 years or so. Sri Lankan team though have made to the finals of bigget tournaments quite often but they lost the finals every time.

This could be  chance for the teams to lift the title. Best wishes from http://icccricket.blogspot.com to all the teams.

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.

T20 World Cup Matches Today

In the ICC World Twenty 20 tournament the Super 8 stages have make the series live and more interesting than the dull group stage, that failed  to bring any excitement in the matches. In the Super eights stage of the T20 world cup 2012, all the match has been exciting and very close except the exception of the match played between India and Australia yesterday. India got out to a good start but once wickets fell, they were restricted to a small total of 140 which the 5 specialist bowlers they played were unable to defend. Australian easily achieved the target in the 15th over. Perhaps keeping Virendar Sehwag out of the playing eleven cost the match to team India.

West Indies and Sri Lanka have won their previous matches in the Super Eights, thus the winning team from the two today will increase their chances of making it to semi finals. However the real knock out punch would be in the match between England and New Zealand. For the  team loosing in the match it would be virtually end of T20 dream unless some strange calculations comes into play for make the team eligible for the next round.

Both England and New Zealand teams may need to pick the playing combination carefully. Opening batting has been a headache for England with not a single two digit opening partnership so far from the team.New Zealand team on the other hand have lost the match from close margins, they have let victory slip from theirf hands, thus a couple of changes might bring the good luck to the team.

If we consider the second match to be played today between Sri Lanka and West Indies, both the teams  seems to continue with the winning combinations. Let see how both the matches progress and what would the points table look like at end of day today.
