[mastana]

There is already a thread on warm up games.

[Show_stopper]

Lol stun?? whom exactly? I don't think anybody is stunned..was very much expected with the sort of crap batting pakistan has.

[Sachinism]

hardly stunning

[vvvslaxman]

Zimbabwe is clearly one of the better team in T20 compared to teams like Pakistan, WI, Australia. Any team that strugglest against spin will struggle against Zimbok especially in West Indies.

[SachDan]

Are they peaking too early? :cantstop:

Are they peaking too early? :cantstop:

Being unknown is an advantage in T20. Before you get a look at a bowler he would get through his spell. In 50 over game you can't do that. You could after any bowler and get out to them. He doesn't have to be a good bowler.

Zim lost to WI A a few times, dont forget they have been in WI for a long time preparing and are just catching teams unaware for the time being.

Cricket: Zimbabwe claim another upset 10:41 AM Friday Apr 30, 2010 Facebook BRIDGETOWN - Zimbabwe humbled defending World Twenty20 champions Pakistan with a 12-run win in their final warm-up at St Lucia before the 2010 tournament gets underway tomorrow. Zimbabwe, who defeated Australia by one-run earlier in the week, made 143-7 from their 20 overs with big-hitting Elton Chigumbura smashing 49 not out from 35 balls to rescue his team from a precarious 64 for 5 in the 12th over. Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi shone with the ball taking 4-24. Kamran Akmal hit 37 from 27 balls as Pakistan started their reply, but they were in deep trouble at 67 for 5 after 10 overs. Fawad Alam and Misbah-ul-Haq added 51 in in 7.4 overs for the sixth wicket, before spinner Prosper Utseya turned the game around for the Africans, getting rid of both men on his way to figures of 4 for 15 in four overs. Pakistan finished on 131 with Chigumbura also starring with the ball, claiming 3 for 16 in three overs. Pakistan begin their campaign on Sunday (NZT) against Bangladesh in St Lucia while Zimbabwe start against Sri Lanka in Guyana on Tuesday. In today's other warm-ups, Australia recovered from their defeat to Zimbabwe by crushing the Windward Islands by 101 runs, also at St Lucia. David Warner hit 51, his second successive half-century, and David Hussey made 49 as Australia piled up 189-8 off their 20 overs before the Windwards were dismissed for just 88. Australia play their first group match against Pakistan in St Lucia on Monday. At Barbados, England defeated South Africa by five wickets. South Africa were limited to 125-5 off their 20 overs before Eoin Morgan top-scored with 63 from 62 balls to lead England to victory after his side had been reeling a 9-3. England face West Indies in Guayna on Tuesday while South Africa start against India in St Lucia on Monday.

[Jersey #10]

I think NZ will not make the semis

[techteam]

Pak will win the cup

[achilles]

:bow: Zimbabwe FTW :bow:

[Pak_Forever]

Well Zimbabwe gave a great fight. I am satisfied with the result as loss against minnow will hopefully force our players to give their best and to win, as has been the case in the past after losing early in the tournament.

Warner fires again as Australia win their second warm up The opener David Warner collected his second warm-up half-century as Australia fine-tuned for their opening World Twenty20 match against Pakistan on Sunday with a 101-run win against a Windward Islands XI. More... Warner fires again for Australia April 29, 2010 The opener David Warner collected his second warm-up half-century as Australia fine-tuned for their opening World Twenty20 match against Pakistan on Sunday with a 101-run win against a Windward Islands XI. The contest provided little more than a run around for the Australians as they swept past an outfit including their squad mates Daniel Christian, Tim Paine and Nathan Hauritz. Warner, who scored 72 in the loss to Zimbabwe on Tuesday, backed up with 51 off 41 balls and David Hussey raced to 49 to set up Australia's 189 for 8. Clarke (30), Cameron White (24) and Shane Watson (17) also contributed as the side tried to find a successful method to prevent a repeat of last year's first-round exit. Hussey's display included three sixes off Hauritz late in the innings as the bowler gave up 34 runs in three overs. Steven Smith, Michael Clarke and Hussey were all employed as slow bowlers by Australia in a possible indication of the make-up of the side for the opening match, although the tourists might have wanted Hauritz to operate against the best batsmen on offer. Shaun Tait was a late arrival due to his Indian Premier League adventures and showed some decent form in collecting 2 for 19 in four overs as the home side was dismissed for 88. Christian, who removed David Hussey when he bowled, was the equal top scorer for the Windward Islands with 20 along with Lyndon James. Smith, the legspinner, and Clarke collected two wickets each to conclude the low-key affair. The step up in competition arrives when they play Pakistan in St Lucia, a contest which is followed by Wednesday's fixture with Bangladesh in Barbados.
