Live India Vs Afghanistan Twenty Twenty Match - T20 World Cup
New Zealand and West Indies made a winning start to the tournament, for New zealand it was a heard fight whic they somehow managed to win in the end with one ball to spare. For West Indies it was a easy win hopefully this win will boost there hopes and home advantage is the next big thing for the carribean team.
Below are the final scores of both T20 world cup matches:
New Zealand 139 for 8 (Ryder 42, Murali 2-25) beat Sri Lanka 135 for 6 (Jayawardene 81) by two wickets
West Indies 138 for 9 (Sammy 30, Dockrell 3-16) beat Ireland 68 (Sammy 3-8, Rampaul 3-17) by 70 runs
Today the third match of the tournament will be played between the winners of the First T20 world cup in 2007 and the debutants Afghanistan. Afghanistan team will be playing to mark up there place in world of cricket and in case they manage to cause a setback it would be good for a country whic in already in trouble for various reasons.
I personaly wish Afghanistan makes it to next round of the tournament atleast, a new coutry needs such thing to boos cricket there. Wheather they win or not is a secondary thing Afghanistan team should play to give a real fight to the Indian team. Match should not be a single sided match.
Catch up the live action within few hours.
Another match will be played today between the defending champions Pakistan and Bangladesh.
India Beat Bangladesh 2-0
As predicted Gautam Gambhir will not have any chance of chasing a bit target and hence will not be able to equal Sir Don Dradman's record of 6 consecutive centuries in test cricket. The best part of thhis test series was Zaheer Khan getting Man of the match and man of the series award. Its very rare to see a bowler getting this award on batting friendly picthes.
Injuries are what India have got along with the winners trophy. Yuvraj Singh will be out got the first test match againse South Africa. Other players who got injured are Sreesanth, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid. Let see will the injuries cause any trouble for the indian cricket team for the comming series against South Africa. You can check out the India - South Africa series match details.

India vs Sri Lanka : Historic series win
After twenty twenty world cup win MS Dhoni added one more feather to his cap as Indian cricket team got its first ever one day international bilateral series win against and at Sri Lanka by 3-2. In this series win batting has been a matter of concern for Indian cricket team as in the absence of senior players like Sachin Tendulkar and attacking opener Virender Sehwag etc sometimes batsmen failed to get a solid start and whenever they got a good start middle order failed to keep the momentum going on.
India Vs Sri Lanka - India tour of Srilakna
India beat Sri Lanka in the first one day by Six wickets (India 247 for 4 (Gambhir 62, Raina 54, Dhoni 61*) beat Sri Lanka 246 for 6 (Jayasuriya 107, Ishant 3-51) by six wickets). highlights of the match was century by Sanath Jasurya who was also selected man of the march.

ICC T20 World Cup - Super 8 pool matches
As Predicted in my previous post, Sri Lanka beat Pakistan & also second match is going to be a closed one. But I guess my second prediction will be wrong as Harbhajan Singh just bowled a maiden over. Another good news is that destructive Chris Gayle is bowled out by Y.K. Pathan. For Indian batting Yuvraj Singh played a crucial role by hitting 67 runs. Below are the latest wallpapers from the tournament:
India Vs Australia Series updates
7 matches series is tied ar 2-2 wins each for India and Australia. Indian team have been pulled to back seat by Australia who defeated the favorites for Mohali one day match in a low scoring encounter. Good news for team India is that the consistent performer in every format of the game batsmen Gautam Gambhir has been declared fit for tomorrows match at Hyderabad. Whereas Australian team is still worried about the injuries.
Probable players for tomorrows match from both the team can be as follows:
Australia possible playing 11: 1 Shane Watson, 2 Shaun Marsh, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt.), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Cameron White, 6 Adam Voges, 7 Graham Manou (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Nathan Hauritz, 10 Ben Hilfenhaus, 11 Doug Bollinger.
India possible playing 11: 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt./wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Ashish Nehra.
Pitch report forecast: Hyderabad pitch is loved by batsmen its pretty flat pitch and ball really comes to bat. Also as in the southern part of India due factor is less thus toss will not play any major role in the match results.
Facts & Stats:
1. Rajiv Gandhi Stadium Hyderabad has not been so lucky to Indian crickets team. India has lost the two previous games to South Africa in 2005-06 and Australia in 2007-08.
2. Yuvraj Singh has score centuries in both those matches.
3. Sachin Tendulkar is 7 runs short for scoring 17000 runs in one day internationals.
Before signing off for today posting few wallpapers for you. Enjoy!!
Sehwag has good starts in the matches but unable to convert in big scores.

Sachin was unlucky once again to be given out by umpire

Sachin Tendulkar - I will score 17K runs tomorrow.

Bhajji good batting in the series but bowling lacking the fire.

India Vs South Afrtica day 3 - Fast bowlers derail Indian Batting
3 Indian top order batsmen are back ot the pavilion. Sehwag and S Badrinath are at the crease currently, with Sehwag playing on 50 nad S Badrinath on 9. Hopefully India will manager to bat till tomorrow morning first session and save this test. Remember this series win is must for both team s for Idnia to retain the number one test team position and for South Africa to achieve the number one position.
India Vs SA - India Struggling 66/2 in second Innings on day 3
With minimum 180 overs more or two days of cricket still left to play, India will be struggling to save this test. With Tendulkar and Murali Vijay batting good at the end of the day three play, it will deepnd on how both of these will tackle the south African pace attack on day four. If they are able to amange a 150+ runs partenrship, then India will surely save this match from loosing. Some of the wallpapers from the days play
