matches in the tour. After the ODI series, both teams will play a Twenty20 match as well. Fans are expecting to see an exciting ODI series between India and Australia. India has become the champion of Twenty20 world cup 2007. So, no doubt, India will be inspired to continue their recent success in the ODI series against Australia. On the other hand, Australia could not make it to the final in Twenty20 world cup after being defeated to India in the semi final. So, they will be determined to regain their dominance in world cricket. Australia will try their best to take the revenge of their lose to India in Twenty20 world cup.

The upcoming India vs Australia ODI series 2007 will be something different from the previous India vs Australia series. Australia is now the champion of ICC world cup and India is the champion of Twenty20 world cup. So, India vs Australia ODI series will be a series between two champion teams in two different cricket formats. As the series will be held in India, it is expected that India will make spinning track. So, India must have some advantages against Australia.

India and Australia are two big teams in world cricket. Both teams have lots of success in the world cricket. India is always very strong at home. So, Australia will face a strong challenge from India. Though it is also true that India got success in Twenty20 world cup, they have to remember that it is ODI cricket that is totally different from ODI cricket. So, they have to assimilate with the ODI format quickly. As neither India nor Australia will play any ODI match before the series, both teams may have problem to cope up with ODI cricket. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has become the new ODI captain of Indian team. India vs Australia ODI series will be his first assignment in ODI cricket. Dhoni has proved his captaincy quality in Twenty20 world cup but he is yet to prove his ability to captain India in ODI.

Naturally, you are interested to enjoy the series. Here, I am giving the full schedule of India vs Australia ODI series 2007:

Germany vs Norway: Women’s World Cup First Semifinal Live Score and Preview

Germany vs Norway semi final match of Women’s world cup 2007 will be held at the Tianjin Olympic Centre Stadium on 26 September 2007. Women’s world cup 2007 is now near to its end. Just two semi final matches, third place playoff and final match are yet to be held. Germany is defending champion and they are going smoothly to defend their title. Norway was the former champion and they are also favorite in the tournament. So, I think, the first semi final between Germany vs Norway is expected to be very competitive.

Both Germany and Norway are two big teams in women’s football. It is true that Norway has lesser impact in men’s football but in women’s football, Norway is always a big name for their stylish football showcase. Norway participated in women’s world cup from the first tournament. Norway was the finalist of the first Women’s world cup in 1991 as they lost to USA by 2-1 in the final. However, they did not have to wait long for the world cup title as Norway won their first and till only world cup title in 1995 Women’s world cup.

Norway could not enter into the semi final round in 2003 Women’s world cup for the first time. They lost to the eventual finalist USA in quarter final. So, this time Norway is determined to win their second world cup title in China. Norway’s performance in this world cup is impressive so far. They got into the quarter final as the group champion. IN group stage, they defeated Canada by 2-1 in their first match. Then in the second match, they made a draw against Australia. In the last match, Norway got a superb win over Ghana by 7-2. In quarter final, they met China. Norway defeated China by 1-0 and got into the semi final of Women’s world cup 2007.

Germany is one of the best football playing countries in women’s football. In 2003, they won the world cup title for the first time. So, Germany will try their best to defend their title. Germany started this tournament excellently. In the first match, they defeated Argentina by 11-0 which has been a new record in women’s world cup as the highest margin of victory. However, in the second match Germany showed an ordinary performance against England as they come up with a goal less draw. Germany then defeated Japan in the last match of the group stage.

Germany faced North Korea in quarter final. They defeated North Korea by 3-0 and entered into the semi final round of Women’s world cup 2007. I think, Germany got back the rhythm and they look impressive at this moment. However, Norway will throw a strong challenge to Germany.

Now, the question is that who will win the match. It is a big question and only time can give the best answer of this question. As both teams are strong and play same level of football, it is not so easy to make any prediction regarding the result of the. Germany has some inform players including Birgit Prinz, Renate Lingor etc. Birgit Prinz was the star of the last world cup and she is continuing her impressive performance in this world cup as well. Birgit Prinz has already scored four goals in this tournament. Norway also has some impressive players who have the ability to serve Norway with a match winning performance. Ragnhild Gulbrandsen is the highest goal scorer of this tournament jointly with Brazilian striker Marta. Ragnhild Gulbrandsen scored five goals yet and she has to play a big part against Germany in the semi final match. Cathrine Paaske Sorensen is also in her good form and she has the ability to show impressive performance leading Norway to the final. Isabell Herlovsen and Ane Stangeland Horpestad are also in good form. So, Norway will also have good chance to win the match and play their third world cup final. Germany vs Norway match is now the main attraction to their fans.

I think, Germany vs Norway match will have huge excitement and fans will enjoy the fullest of it. Both teams have one world cup title each. So, both teams are now just two matches away from their second world cup title. Fans will be happy to see their players winning the semi final match and get in to the final of Women’s world cup 2007. I hope that Germany vs Norway match will be competitive and full of excitement so that football fans can get the taste of a big match. I think, you also hope the same.

India is Champion of Twnety20 World Cup 2007

India has won the first Twenty20 world cup 2007 defeating Pakistan by 5 runs. It is a memorable win for India. This is the first time that India and Pakistan met in the final of any world cup tournament. This is also the first time since 1983 World Cup that India won a major cricket trophy.

Indian batsmen scored 157 runs in their allotted 20 Overs. Very few people thought that it would be enough. India opened the batting in a good way with Yousuf Pathan trying to score some quick runs. He got out after scoring 15. Gautam Gambhir played an excellent innings. He came to bat in the opening and he stayed until 18 overs. He played a superb innings. He passed 200 runs in the first Twenty20 World Cup. Except Gambhir no one could bat so well. India lost wickets at regular intervals. For India, the highest run came from Gambhir. He scored 75 runs off 54 runs. More than everything, he kept wicket one end and he scored his 75 runs quite quickly.

R Uthappa, Yovraj and Dhoni disappointed the fans as they got out very cheaply. Towards the end, RP Sharma scored 30 runs off 16 balls and it was a very valuable contribution. In fact, at one stage, it seemed that India would not even pass 140 runs.

For India the batsmen scored:

Gambhir 75 (54 balls)

Yousuf Pathan 15 (8 balls)

R Uthappa 8 (11 balls)

Yuvraj Singh 14 (19 balls)

MS Dhoni 6 (10 balls)

RP Sharma 30 not out (16 balls)

Irfan Pathan 3 (3 balls)

You have to give huge credit to Pakistani bowlers. They bowled superbly and most of the time they could deliver Yorker length balls. In fact, all of the Pakistani bowlers bowled well and Indian batsmen failed to go after any particular bowler. Umar Gul captured 3 Indian wickets and he was the most successful bowler for Pakistan. They did everything right and kept Indian batsmen under pressure right through the end of Indian innings.

Chasing 158 runs Pakistan started well. However, they lost wicket at regular intervals. Pakistan got all out at 152 leaving three balls at hand. Opener Imran Nazir started well. He was scoring quickly and before getting out he scored 33 runs off just 14 balls. He scored four boundaries and two over boundaries. Younis Khan scored 24 runs facing 24 balls.

However, Pakistan middle order suddenly has broken. Pakistan lost six wickets at 77. However, their run rate was impressive though they lost wickets at regular intervals. The drama was waiting for the fans and it started when Misbah-ul-Haq started hitting sixes. Sohail Tanvir played a cameo innings of 12 runs off 4 balls. Pakistan needed 13 runs in the last over. Rudra Pratap Singh and Irfan Pathan played superb and both took 3 wicekts each. Irfan Pathan took two wickets of Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi. This was the turning point of the match.

I think, it was a typical India vs Pakistan. There was huge excitement and this is a memorable match in cricket history. Both India and Pakistan made the match some special for the cricket match.

India vs Pakistan: Pakistan Gets Supports from Former Greats

India vs Pakistan final match of Twenty20 world cup will take place today. All fans of cricket are now excited to see a special match. India vs Pakistan match is always something different and as it is world cup final, the excitement around the match will be much higher than the usual match.

Former great cricketers of Pakistan team are giving inspiration for the players and they think that Pakistan will win the tournament. Wasim Akram has said that Pakistan team had self belief and confidence. To him, Pakistan is favorite in the final.

The Hindu reported:
"This team has a lot of self belief and confidence and they have got into the habit of winning matches. In my book, they are favourites," Akram said.
He pointed out that Pakistan's biggest strength was that captain Shoaib Malik was leading from the front which had a positive effect on players.

Former Pakistan captain Rameez Raja said that Pakistan players should be calm during the match. It is true that India vs Pakistan match always creates huge pressure on the players. That is why, many star players can not perform well in India vs Pakistan match. So, it is yet to see which team will be bale to remain calm and poised.

India vs Pakistan: Pakistan Making Plans to Stop Yuvraj Singh

Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik has recently said that they are going male special plan to stop Yuvraj Singh. This left handed batsman is now in his prime form and in the last two matches, he was firing against the opponent bowlers. Yuvraj hit six 6s in an over against England in his way to play the fastest half century in Twenty20 cricket. Then in the match against Australia, Yuvraj Singh played another devastating innings of 70 off just 30 balls. So, naturally Pakistan will try to stop Yuvraj Singh at the beginning of the innings. Shoaib Malik also praised his team mates to give 100 percent effort in the field.

Reuters reported:
The skipper said Pakistan would be devising a special plan for Yuvraj Singh, the Indian batsman who scored six sixes in one over against England and cut Australia's attack to shreds in Saturday's semi-final in Durban.
"He has been playing superbly and, of course, we will meet after practice today and, God willing, come up with some sort of plan for him."
"I have never seen batting like that before and he is in very good form.

India vs Pakistan match will be a classic match. Both teams have showed impressive performances in this tournament. Fans of both sides are now eagerly waiting for the match. India and Pakistan are rival teams in the cricket world. So, fans are hoping to see a memorable match.

India vs Pakistan: Mahendra Singh Dhoni Thinks It Another ‘Do or Die’ Match

Ahead of the India vs Pakistan match, the whole cricket world is now excited and all are hoping to see another classic match between India and Pakistan. Mahendra Singh Dhoni has said that the final will be another do or die match for India. Actually, Indian captain is trying to inspire his team mates to consider it just a do or die match as India did their match against South Africa and Australia. I think, he wants the players not to take extra pressure as it is an India vs Pakistan match.

Reuters reported:
"So we will treat the final as just another do-or-die match. You need to go on to the field and give 100 percent and not worry too much about the outcome."
"You have to be calm when you make decisions that will have a big impact on the game. If you are calm, you have more chance of making the right decisions, but having several team mates who have played over a hundred international matches really helps too," he said.

The match will have huge excitement and the fans are eagerly waiting for this match. India vs Pakistan match is also something special and as it is a world cup final, the match is now the most talked event in world cricket. Now, it is yet to see if Dhoni can bring another world cup title for India.

India vs Pakistan: Captains of Both Teams are Confident

India and Pakistan captains are confident that ahead of the final of the Twenty20 world cup. The coming India vs Pakistan match will be something special for the cricket world as this is the first time, these two rival teams are going to face each other in a world cup final. Both the teams are young and they have some key players who are going to be future star in world cricket.

Both India and Pakistan came in South Africa to show some impressive performance so that their fans can forget the disastrous performance of India and Pakistan in the last ICC world cup. So, India and Pakistan were out of focus and that worked well for them. Indai and Pakistan roared past the strong teams in their way to the final.

IOL reported:
"The World Cup is history," said Malik. "What we have to concentrate on now is the final tomorrow. We will be approaching it as we have approached every game in the tournament - we will be playing to win, and every player will be giving 100 percent."
"We will be treating it as just another match," said Dhoni. "We have played some very tough matches in this tournament, and we have handled the pressure. The match against South Africa was a do or die affair, and then we had a very tough match against Australia. We handled the pressure well and we came through."

So, it seems that both teams will try their best to win the title and go back to their home with the first world cup title of Twenty20 cricket. I hope to see a classic match between India and Pakistan. Naturally, the India vs Pakistan match gets much focus in the cricket world. Now, it is a world cup final and also India vs Pakistan match. So, you can realize that how much excited the fans are ahead of this match.

India vs Pakistan: Yuvraj Singh’s Dream

Yuvraj Singh is the man in form for India in Twenty20 World Cup Cricket 2007. He has been in superb form in the last few matches. In the match against England, he scored 6 sixes in one over. Then, in the semi final match against Australia, Yuvraj Singh again showed his skill and contributed most for Indian team. It was the dream of Yuvraj Singh to see a India vs Pakistan final match in world cup. His dream has come true.

NDTV wrote:

Will India's earlier victory over Pakistan be enough to give us the psychological edge and will we be able to sustain our current form? These are all questions that we will be asking during the countdown to what has to be one of the most anticipated matches of cricketing history.

"India-Pakistan, a dream come true final. The whole world is going to be watching," said Yuvraj.

Yuvraj Singh is echoing the sentiments of a billion Indians. And it's not just him, but the rest of team India too, which will know just how big an opportunity this is for them.

Now, if India can win the match and become the champion of Twenty20 World Cup then the dream of Yuvraj Singh. Don’t forget to watch the match tomorrow. If you don’t have access to that match in TV then come back to this entry for live score:
