Hi Cricket Lovers,
First of i will like to express my happiness for Yuvraj's successful comeback to international cricket. As predicted by me India won the Test Series against the Kiwis quite convincingly though they faltered during the final overs of the only T20 which the Kiwis won by a solitary run. Leaving that aside i want to now talk about the T20 world cup which is going to start on the 18th of September and the finals will be held on October the 7th in Colombo ,Sri Lanka.
There are a few teams which have a great chance of winning this world cup. First let us look at the 4 groups which have been formed at the group stage. Group A has India, England and Afghanistan, Group B has Australia, Ireland and WI, Group C has the hosts Sri Lanka,South Africa and Zimbabwe while Group D has Pakistan,New Zealand and Bangladesh. The group which is the most unpredictable according to me is Group D.
Th next stage of the World Cup will comprise of 8 teams (Super Eights) where each team will play 3 matches and India will most probably be playing Australia,Pakistan or Bangladesh (could happen) and South Africa and will have to win at least 2 of the 3 matches to have any chance of qualifying for the Semis. According to me the top contenders for this years edition are South Africa, India and my Dark horse for the tournament will be the unpredictable Pakistanis as they have a knack of ding well in this short form and they have a very good spin attack(Ajmal, Afridi and Hasan) which could be a potent force in this World Cup. India too boasts of a good bowling attack this time with R Ashwin and Pathan back in form. Virat Kohli has become one dangerous player whose wicket will be sought after by all the bowlers in this edition.
The players who will shine this time will be batsmen like Gayle, Warner, Kohli, Yuvraj, Sakhib al Hassan, Amla, AB de Villiers, Ross Taylor and Mohammad Nabi from Afghanistan. In the bowling department the players like Ajmal, Ajantha Mendis, Irfan Pathan, Patt Cummins,Steven Finn, Vittori, Steyn and Sunil Narine will make there mark by bowling some outstanding spells.
Its very hard to guess or predict who will become the Ultimate champion but going by the things which have happened over the past 2 year since the 2011 world cup its very hard to pick. I would still put my Money on India or South Africa to overcome this hurdle and emerge as a champion.
I will be back with more updates.
