The First Match of ICC T20 World Cip : England Vs Netherland and England loose there match. As every team have only 2 matches to enter in super 8 then it became very difficult for england to enter in super 8 but after a huge win over pakistan will kept host team to remain in the competition.
Now its time for Pakistan to show some handy cricket to enter in super 8.
After this win i thought that england will surely go into the semifinals or finals and will win the world cup.
My best of luck for England Team...Play well win matches!!! we are waiting for world cup!!!!!
These two sides are unlikely to be around at the business end of proceedings but they should put on a good show for the neutrals and give underdog backers a good run for their money, says Andrew Hughes.
"Bangladesh are [1.5] favourites but that is just too short a price to take about such a young and inconsistent team and Ireland look worth a punt at [3.5]."
Team News
Bangladesh didn't perform too badly against India on Saturday and are unlikely to make too many changes, though they may bring in spinner Abdur Razzak. Ireland have to decide whether to give a chance to promising 18 year old batsman Paul Stirling and will also have to choose who from their battery of seamers will miss out, and it may well end up being veteran Trent Johnston.
Conditions
An afternoon game should be a little warmer for the Bangladeshis who were shivering on Saturday night. During last year's Twenty20 Cup games, the par score at Trent Bridge was 150 with anything in the 160s hard to get. But three teams passed 180 here in the warm up games, as did India at the weekend.
Match Odds
Both teams will see this game as their best chance of a win. Bangladesh's young side are improving all the time and Twenty20 is a format that can suit their blend of mercurial batsmen and tricky spinners. Ireland, meanwhile, are the best of the associate members in this tournament. Their batting, weakened by the departure of Eoin Morgan, depends for impetus largely on the big hitting O'Brien brothers Niall and Kevin.
Their bowling is seam-dominated but tidy and supplemented by the left arm spin of Kyle McCallan and they fling themselves around wholeheartedly in the field. Bangladesh are 1.5 favourites but that is just too short a price to take about such a young and inconsistent team and Ireland look worth a punt at 3.5
Top Batsman
Niall O'Brien hit a confident 62 against South Africa in their final warm up game and should be worth a look as top Irish batsman at 4.5 or higher. For Bangladesh, Junaid Siddique was in powerful form against India and should be backed at 4.0 or better.
West Indies captain Chris Gayle again showed his liking for cricket’s shortest version with a 50-ball 88 as the West Indies thrashed Australia by seven wickets in their opening Twenty20 World Cup Group C match at Kensington Oval in London. The West Indies chasing 170 for victory finished on 172 for three with more than fours overs to spare.
Gayle got good support from Andre Fletcher 53, in an opening stand of 133.
Xavier Marshall went for eight while Shivnarine Chanderpaul yet to score and Ramnaresh Sarwan unbeaten on eight struck the winning run.
Earlier Jerome Taylor, Fidel Edwards and Dwayne Bravo each had two wicket hauls, as Australia recovered from two for three in the first over to post 169 for seven.
David Warner top scored with 63 for the Aussies.
After their miserable test and one day series against England, West Indies skipper Gayle says it was just the start they wanted.
With each team is divided into four groups.
Here are the four group’s scenarios:
Group A – India (A1), Bangladesh (A2) and Ireland
Group B – Pakistan (B1), England (B2) and Netherlands
Group C – Australia (C1), Sri Lanka (C2) and West Indies
Group D – New Zealand (D1), South Africa (D2) and Scotland
