World 20Twenty 2010 Qualifying rounds review

Brief review of T20 qualifying rounds

World 20Twenty 2010 has been in action since April 30. The win/lose trend has been pretty predictable as strong teams are still dominating the tournament. 20Twenty is now in Super Eights round from where four teams would be selected for semi-finals. Talking about qualifying round to secure the position in Super Eights, the most comprehensive performance has been shown by Australia and India. Both the teams have shown an all rounder performance without creating any sense of uncertainty in their approaches. Australia defeated the defending champion Pakistani team in a very stylish way. They won both their group matches. As per India, they showed their immense potential and energy against South Africa and defeated them. India is also among the teams who won both their matches in a very comprehensive way.
New Zealand also managed to win both matches in its group but the performance was not that comprehensive in a match against Sri Lanka. It was a close call and match went till last minute. So there is a lot more uncertainty attached to Kiwis regarding their performance in Super Eights. The defending champions Pakistan does not seem in form at all and they are struggling with their batting and bowling as well. The problem is not only with their form but also the crisis and controversies in their team. When it comes to Sri Lanka, their game highly depends on their main players, Mahela and Sangakkara. In their win, major contributions of these players make a big difference. But overall, Sri Lanka could be the winning team. South African is more about fate. Even though they put in their best effort, but fate always has something unexpected for them. Their bowling side seems a bit weaker this season but batting lineup is very strong. So let’s see how they perform in the Super Eights. West Indies is struggling with both batting and bowling line up. Even though they qualified for the Super Eights but their team could not be considered as a comprehensive and all rounder team. England had a close match with Ireland which made their form a bit doubtful. But again, when it comes to Ireland, they have a magic trick to make upsets in the tournament.
So more action in Super Eights would clear the position about which team deserves to win the title..!!
