Analysis 2010 continued

ICC T20 World Cup 2010

This is a followup post to my last post Analysis 2010 on potential weakness of each team playing in the Super 8.

Why can SL lose?
  • They are not looking like the side they were last year
  • In both their group games they lacked intensity
  • No other batsman apart from Jayawardene has fired
 Why can Australia lose?
  • They have been inconsistent. They performed well against Pakistan but lost the track against Bangladesh.
  • So far they have an extremely poor record in T20. Read my earlier post Australian Team is favourite
Why can India lose?
  • The dreaded C word - Complacency. They are the champions or so the Indian Media and fans think.
  • The weakness from last world cup might haunt them again - short pitched bouncers.
Why can WI lose?
  • The dreaded I word - Inconsistency.
Evey team has chinks in its armour. And in T20 form on the match day matters more than anything else. However, I think it will be extremely difficult for NZ, Pakistan and SL to reach the semis.
