The T20 world cup in West Indies today enters into the Super 8 stage. The first match between Pakistan and England will be played today. The match will surely be an exciting one with mercurial Pakistan taking on England who has been unpredictable in this format of the game. One paper, teams look absolutely similar and it is difficult to pick a winner.
The match will be played at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados.
Pakistan had an easy match against Bangladesh. Australia defeated Bangladesh yesterday to ensure that Pakistan goes through. There were certain anxious moments in yesterday's match as Australia was 6 down at one stage with not even 70 runs on board. In the end, Australia's experience and venomous bowling was enough to overcome Bangladesh's charge.
England have had a rough tournament so far as they lost to West Indies by D/L method in match interrupted by rain after a solid batting performance. Rain came to their rescue next day when they could manage only 120 against Ireland. However, a torrential shower ensured that the match got abandoned early into Ireland's innings handing England one point, good enough to scrape through to next stage on better run rate.
Pakistani will have to really improve their bowling and fielding to match up to England. Australia plundered Pakistani bowlers in their last encounter. On the other hand, England has bowled well in the earlier stage with the pace attack in particular well settled. The English batting has also been consistent with Collingwood, Pietersen, Lumb and Kieswetter, the team has solid performers in both in the opening as well as middle order.
