Just as long as we don't have to play against the 3Ms....

Funnily enough, at the start of the competition, cricinfo had a poll where they asked voters who they thought was best placed to win the world 20/20 champs, and offered only five options - England, Australia, India, Pakistan and South Africa. There was no mention of Sri Lanka, West Indies and New Zealand!

Just goes to show how much these cricinfo 'experts' know....

 

[G.I.Joe]

My money's on TBC to take out the whole thing.

[KiWiNiNjA]

So assuming South Africa don't get thumped, we're looking at

South Africa vs Pakistan
Sri Lanka vs West Indies

 

[Athlai]

Which should mean, South Africa vs. Sri Lanka

 

[pasag]

Would be nice if anyone bar South Africa won it. Sri Lanka vs Pakistan final would be interesting from a dramatic pov with the shootings earlier this year and all.

 

[four_or_six]

Yeah, if SA win it we're going to get a total IPL love-in. I'm gunning for Pakistan from here!

 

[Smith]

Want Pakistan to win tbh. Would be a huge boost to their sagging cricket and good for the world.

Looks More like WI-SL.. Hmm thats going to be tough for the windies. But if they can put a total on board and ask the Lankans to chase it could be a different ball game..

Not just you, either...

Sorry.

SL/Yarp final sets it up nicely for a proper, old-fashioned saffie choke, just like mother used to make.

 

[Athlai]

12 overs of the MM&M from Sri Lanka should make a high score nigh impossible to post.

 

[rivera213]

I fancy Sri Lanka.

South Africa are the best T20 team in the world, but with the 3 M's plus Dilshan, Jayasuriya and Sangakarra all batting well- it isn't a given.

South Africa will pwn Pakistan. I think it will be embarassing with only Umar Gul coming out with any credit.

 

[Athlai]

It will either be a thrashing by South Africa or SA will lose. Depends entirely on which Pakistan shows up.

If it is a SF/Pak semi it would be at Trent bridge. Even Dilshan a part-timer was getting some spin. I'd like Pakistan's chances especially with the way Afridi has been bowling to choke SF.

 

[AaronK]

I think South Africa is going to destroy the weak Pakistani bating lind up.. their batsmans have struggled throughout the tournment.. Facing such a strong bowling line up of South Africa.. i don't think they could win..so my money is on South Africa..

 

[TT Boy]

Trent Bridge again for South Africa and with Pak's spin they could be in trouble.

 

[Lostman]

Anyone know the odds on the Sf/Pak game?
None of the books I use have it listed yet.

 

[shanmuga1980]

south africa or west indies should lift the cup.

I hate to see it in the hands of the pakis or the lankans. they dont deserve it
