Don Sharma Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 There are three matches scheduled @8PM IST in Cape Town. Tradionally the ball swings around late in the evening, even thou it is T20, I think the team batting first wil go on and win the match hands down. Remember the first match in WC'03? Carl Hooper on winning the toss, asked the Match Refree for the coin (as lucky omen) and popped it into his pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
