Based on the performance in the first twenty20 World Cup - India have been awarded the easiest group along side Bangladesh and Ireland in this second Twenty20 world cup to be played in England in the month of June 2009.

12 teams are broken into group of 3 in first stage out of which - 2 teams will qualify for the second round where each team plays 3 more matches before qualifying for the semi-finals. .

World Cup twenty-twenty20 fixtures have a strange pattern where each qualifying team will play two teams which qualified at number 2 in their group whereas 1 match with winner of third group.. .

similarly - the team which qualifies 2nd in a group gets to play 2 matches against group winners & 1 match versus 2nd team of a group.

A 27 match tournament whose matches will be starting mainly at 2 different timings (5pm & 1.30pm according to UK timing) and to be played at only 3 stadiums across England.

Note
Zimbabwe : the team which has been playing International cricket for quite some time and although their test & ODI performance were not upto the mark - they had beaten Australia in the inaugural twenty20 world cup in south africa.. yet - they have opted out of this 2nd T20 World Cup. Reason : Zimbabwe cricket doesn't think UK Government will issue visas for their team members! strange but true..

A Cricket Festival

The 2008 Twenty20 World Cup won by India and held in South Africa was a resounding success. The 2009 tournament seems sure to provide equal excitement for players and spectators alike.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Deccan Chargers Live IPL Score

The race to reach the semifinals is finishing with a thrilling climax set here in Super Sport Club, Centurion when resurgent Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers meet. Not just a clash for semi finals makes this match interesting, but these were the two teams that were placed last during IPL 2008 and now they are fighting hard for a semifinal spot. Great comeback by both the teams!

Inconsistency has been ruling both the teams, after they’ve had dazzling starts and now is the time to pull their socks up for last fling. RCB has been rising under the leadership of Kumble but is the team becoming more and more dependant on the batting likes of Kallis and Dravid? Uthappa and Ross Taylor will need to support the two walls against Charging Deccan bowlers like Pravin Kumar Kumble.

Kumble’s bowlers will be put to test when Gilchrist and Gibbs are attacking. At the same time on Deccan Chargers side, we know what an all rounder Rohit Sharma has turned out to be lately and how Andrew Symonds can be thorn in the flesh. So in all, it will be an interesting clash of 2 balanced sides. I love Adam Gilchrist and would be happy to see them winning, but as a Bangalorean my heart goes out to Kumble and Dravid.
