Cricket: "ICC World Twenty20 Cup 2009 Semi Finals"

Four teams have qualified to the semifinals. They are South Africa, Pakisthan, Srilanka and WestIndies. South Africa and Srilanka are undefeated in this tournment yet. Where as WestIndies and Pakistan had to struggle to reach Semifinals.

On 18th June South Africa will take on Pakistan. It will be a facinating match which starts 10 pm India time (IST). Inspite of being undefeated South African's should be wary of the Pakistan side, which is getting stronger day by day. Pakistan batting has improved as the tournment progressed, there bowling with the backing of Umar Gul, Shahid Afridi and Saeed Ajmal is highly rated. Where as Southafrica has perfect pace and spin attack which will jolt any apposition. For pace they have steyn, parnell and steyn brothers. For spin they have Vander marwe and Botha, they have proved deadly in this tournment. These two teams looks good and it will be a good fight never the less. Wishing South Africa and Pakistan all the very best for their First Semi-Final match.

On 19th June West Indies will take on Srilanka. It will be surely a tight contest between West Indies and Srilanka. Srilankan's are on a high after being undefeated in the tournment and West Indies are on high after winning their last two matches to reach Semifinals. Both teams have good hitters and perfect timers. Coming to bowling department srilanka has a slight upper hand compared to West Indies. Srilanka has deadly Mendis and powerful Murali and dont forget the yorker king Malinga. WestIndies bowling has been week throughout the tournment but their batsmen have come to theri rescue. Since this is a knockout stage they should be wary of their weekness and plan accordingly. Srilanka have a slight upper hand going into the second semifinal.

My Prediction:
Ist Semi-Final: SouthAfrica will win
2nd Semi-Final: Srilanka will win

These are just my assumptions the actual winners will let you know as and when the matches complete.
