Clarke Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Hard to predict with the toss playing such a crucial role in SL. WI vs Pak final ' date=' WI win IMO[/quote'] Dropmal & Sami leading them to final ?
Tiger-Don Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Bangladesh vs India final! India wins by 3 runs or 1 wickets and then we(bengalis) start crying again.
Trichromatic Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 India-Ipl experience Hasn't been enough to produce even 1 good T20 bowler.
SLICKR392 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 No hopes for India but no harm in voting :dontknow: Last poll option is reserved for SJ :hatsoff:
CoverDrive Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I vote for SL - and I think their bowling allrounders like mattews, Kula and Perera will provide them an edge. Malinga is always a threat in T20 and if the Big 3 also fire on top of the order they can do well. this is probably first time WI will come in as contenders - again with good set of bowling allrounders- Bravo, Pollard, Russell. Lets see how the team gels
India-KXIP fan Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 No real hope for non SC teams, they showed how chit they are in SC in WC. So has to be one of SC teams. I would say India.
Sidhoni Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 There is no need of a poll, all votes will be given to India, as everyone hope we win. Other than India, I think WI has a major chance.
Vilander Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Bangladesh vs India final! India wins by 3 runs or 1 wickets and then we(bengalis ? Bangladeshies) start crying again. Bengalis are indians so they would suport India.
Vilander Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Hard to predict with the toss playing such a crucial role in SL. Dropmal & Sami leading them to final ? MAAAABY.
Cricket Fanatic Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 I feel West Indies have the side to do this time. They have Gayle opening, that guy just goes on, we all know that. Then, there's T20 specialist Pollard. Dwayne Bravo is a good AR. Spin sensation Narine will be troubling many batsmen surely. They just need to be consistent.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Should be one of SL or Pakis. SL is playing at home and have a bunch of all-rounders in Matthews, Kulasekara, Perera etc. backed by Malinga & Mendis/Randiv. Plus they have decent batting firepower in Dilshan, Jayawardene, Sanga & Chandimal. As for Pakis, this is their favorite format as it suits their bits & pieces players perfectly. Likes of Hafeez & Afridi can really make a difference in T20 by scoring quick 20s and bowling their quota of 4 overs. Plus they have Ajmal & Gul who are decent in T20s. India doesn't have much of a chance and wouldn't even make it to semis. We don't have even a single bowler we can depend on and no all-rounder to speak of when teams like SL/Pak/WI have 3 or 4 in their side :omg: Another factor is that impact of our batting quality is diminished in T20s. Likes of Kohli, Gambhir & Dhoni who generally play a long knock when they get set in odis don't have the same luxury in T20. Here a quick 20s & 30s is all you need and a slogger like Umar Akmal can actually be more useful than someone like Kohli. It would be great if we somehow manage to win a game in the super 6s this time ound, forget winning the tourney.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 UG now we have no chance that you have jinxed us. What can I say, that's the truth :dontknow: We suck at T20s as our strength in odis are no longer a strength in T20, and teams like SL, Pak & WI are much more suited to T20s.
Ultimate_Game Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 WI WI are like SA. They will choke at some point.
