India is going to play Australia in the semifinal of Twneyt20 World Cup. India today defeated South Africa convincingly. South Africa is the host country. On the other hand, Australia ensured their place in the semifinal after defeating Sri Lanka earlier today. So, today, it was do or die for both India and Australia and they did instead of dying. This match will take place on 22 September in Durban. Who will win this match? This is now a million dollar question. Australia had a disastrous start to Twenty20 World Cup. In the first match, Australia lost to Zimbabwe and it was the biggest shock of this tournament. Many people thought that Australia might be out of Twenty20 World Cup 2007. However, Australia fought back and defeated England in the next match and then reached the super eight stage. In Super eight, Australia lost to Pakistan but defeated Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
The good side of Australia is that their players are finding their rhythm in the later stage of Twenty20 World Cup 2007. Specially, in the last two matches, we found Australia in its true form. Today, they played an one sided match and defeated Sri Lanka very easily. Australia has very strong batting line up. They have some explosive batsmen who can demolish the bowling attack of any country. Well, we have not great batting from Australian top order batsmen so far in Twenty20 World Cup. Compared to their batsmen, their bowlers did much better. For example, today, Australian bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to just 101 runs. It was one of the lowest totals of this tournament. If Australia wants to win against India in the semifinal then their batsmen will have to play better.
The main worry for India is their batting too. Indian batsmen are not finding their rhythm and consistency in this tournament. Indian bowlers played great today and snatched an impossible victory. The same thing happened in the India vs Pakistan match. Indian bowlers bowled excellently today. Indian fielding is not upto the mark yet and Australian players are much better in terms of fielding. In fact, yesterday, Indian players misses a number of catches and some of them were not that difficult. So, Indian players have to focus on two fronts. Indian batsmen will have to work really hard against Australia. Indian players will also have to improve their fielding.
I think that Australia is the favorite in this match. Australian players have just improved all the time in this tournament. They are now balanced side and very confident. Who do you think will in the match India vs Australia?
