India vs South Africa Post Match Presentation Super 8 T20 World Cup 2012

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 11:47 AM PDT


Yuvraj: ‘Some people suggested that I should not have been in the playing XI. Nice to pick up a few wickets, I did not do too well with the bat. I feel that I need to spend more time in the middle, hopefully I will get those in the ODI form of the game. I have practised a lot on my bowling, unfortunately we did not qualify, nice to finish off with a win. I am getting better with every day, hopefully I will get back to ny previous best.’

Yuvraj Singh is the MoM

M S Dhoni: ‘I am disappointed, but not at our quality of cricket. I think the rain intervention in the match against Australia did not help us, there was little our bowlers could have done after it rained. I am very happy with the way we played otherwise. Today’s start was not good, to lose three wickets quickly did not help. We rely heavily on getting a good start, we have the hitters down to take advantage. I felt that there was no point in using all our trump cards right at the top and it was swinging around early. We have not really peaked as a team, all the three departments have not clicked together, but against top sides, we need to get out act together. We had one off-day, I blame the rain for that. Else, I am happy with our show.’


AB de Villiers: ‘Disappointed is not even the right word, we have had a poor tournament. Sorry to all the people back home, we have let them down very badly. We will look to do better. Our preparations were good, we felt that we had the right players in the squad. We will go back home for the Champions League and the tour of Australia. Faf was outstanding today, he showed his class.’

Australia qualifies for semis despite loosing to Pakistan by 32 runs

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 08:31 AM PDT


Pakistan gave themselves a big chance of reaching the World Twenty20 semifinals on Tuesday with a shock 32-run win over Australia, who reached the last four regardless courtesy of their net run rate.

Scorecard | Pakistan vs Australia Highlights

Pakistan made 149-6 after being sent in to bat in the group two Super Eights match at the Premadasa stadium, before a five-man spin attack restricted Australia to 117-7.

Prolific spinner Saeed Ajmal claimed 3-17, but it was 20-year-old Raza Hasan who was declared man of the match for conceding just 14 runs and taking two wickets in four overs of steady left-arm spin.

Both teams ended the Super Eights on four points each, which knocked winless South Africa out of the tournament.

Australia advanced to the semifinals despite the defeat due to having the best net run-rate in the group. The result left India needing an emphatic win over South Africa later on Tuesday to stop Pakistan’s progress.

Sri Lanka and the West Indies have already qualified from group one.

Veteran Mike Hussey was Australia’s saviour with an unbeaten 54 off 47 balls as none of the other batsmen managed to cross 15 against the rampaging spinners.

Australia never looked comfortable after their in-form openers, Shane Watson and David Warner, were dismissed by the fifth over with only 19 runs on the board.

Australia, who needed to make 112 or more to qualify, achieved the target when Hussey cut seamer Umar Gul to the fence off the first ball of the final over.

Gul’s two overs at the end were the only ones by a seamer as the spinners shared 18 overs between themselves.

Pakistan’s innings revolved around left-hander Nasir Jamshed’s 55 off 46 balls, which contained four boundaries and two sixes.

After the openers were removed by the sixth over, Jamshed put on 79 off 55 balls for the third wicket with Kamran Akmal, who made 32 before both batsmen were dismissed in the space of three deliveries.

Abdul Razzaq marked his return to the side in place of Yasir Arafat to make 22 from 17 balls. Left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc claimed 3-20 for Australia.

T20 World Cup 2012: South Africa wins toss, put India to Bat

Posted: 02 Oct 2012 07:40 AM PDT


Toss: South Africa have won the toss and elected to field

AB de Villiers: ‘We’re going to bowl first. There is some turn there. I think Pakistan played well to get to that total. We’re very disappointed but we have some pride to play for. We have a point to prove.’

MS Dhoni: ‘ We were looking to chase. The reason being we will know how much we have to score in how many overs. I think in Australia, in that Hobart game we played really well. I think the pitch is slightly better. This will asssit the spinners. We have an unchanged squad.’

Pitch Report: The pitch is still very hard. There are some sections of the pitch where there is a bit of powdering. The ball comes on nicely later in the evening. The side that wins the toss might want to bat second.

Teams:
India (Playing XI): Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni(w/c), Suresh Raina, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Zaheer Khan

Raza Hasan: ‘It is my first big tournament for Pakistan and I am happy to contribute. Everybody is giving me confidence in the team.’

Raza Hasan is the MoM. He picked up 2/14 in four overs.

Hafeez: ‘Everybody realized that it was a crucial situation. Nasir and Kamran played well. We really wanted the bowlers to do the job and we got a good score. Umar Gul is very handy with reverse swing. Raza Hasan was wonderful with the ball. We are not thinking about the next game. It will be great if we qualify for the semis.’

Bailey: ‘It is a disappointing loss. Pakistan’s spinners bowled well. They took early wickets and put pressure on us. They did not introduce pace till the 18th over. The middle order had a hit today. It would be ideal for the top order to score majority of the runs. We need to get back to form for the semi-finals.’

Preview: India vs South Africa, Super 8, T20 World Cup 2012

Posted: 01 Oct 2012 03:00 PM PDT


Their campaign is back on track after the morale-boosting win over Pakistan but India can hardly afford to relax as they take on an erratic but still quite intimidating South Africa in their final Super Eight match on Tuesday for a place in the semifinals of the ICC World Twenty20 on Tuesday.

The fight for the second semi-final slot from Group 2 is indeed intriguingly poised as both India and Pakistan have a fair chance of making the cut although Australia seems favourite at the moment.

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni admitted that devising a strategy without knowing the result of the Australia versus Pakistan game will be foolhardy as that will help them chart their course of action.

In case Pakistan (-0.426), who are a shade better than India (-0.452) in terms of net run-rate happen to win against Australia, Dhoni and his men will then have to win comprehensively against the South Africans in order to make it to the last four.

If Australia maintain a clean slate in the ‘Super Eight’ by beating Pakistan, the equation will be a lot easier for India as a win will be good enough. Even in case of a defeat against South Africa, India should ensure that they don’t lose by a big margin as the net run rate will come into play with three teams tied with one win each.

South Africa have lost both their matches in contrasting manners — a close defeat against Pakistan and a comprehensive one against Australia.

AB de Villiers and Co. will now want to end the tournament on a respectable note and think of an outside chance of qualifying although their net run-rate might prove to be a deterrent.

On Tuesday, the Indian team will not only have to deal with a South African team that is keen to maintain its reputation as a world class outfit but also have to counter the threat of a man who knows about them like the back of his hand.

Gary Kirsten, inarguably India’s most successful cricket coach, is now in the opposition ranks and will play a key role in trying to plot the downfall of the ‘Men in Blue’.

Spin will again play a key role in the match and it will be interesting to see whether Dhoni would go for a second spinner in Harbhajan Singh by dropping senior pro Zaheer Khan.

With the seven-batsman policy paying results and a theory that Dhoni believes in, it remains to be seen whether he would rejig his bowling resources or stick to the winning formula.

The South African batsmen looked distinctly uncomfortable against the off-spin of Mohammed Hafeez and Saeed Ajmal in the match against Pakistan.

Even left-arm slow orthodox bowler Xavier Doherty troubled the Proteas in the last match which will certainly encourage Yuvraj Singh, who has turned into a utility ‘bowling all-rounder’ in this edition of the World T20.

The big question will be whether the Indian skipper will bring in Harbhajan who can be effective considering the South African line-up features two left-handers in Jean-Paul Duminy and Robin Peterson.

The opening woes, however, is a cause of concern for Dhoni as both Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir have been scratchy in the tournament.

Sehwag, who was brought back for the Pakistan match, showed his intent to stay at the wicket and should be praised for playing an ideal second fiddle to Virat Kohli during the defining 74-run second wicket partnership.

But at the same time, the senior opener frittered away a good start to get out at a time when he looked good for his first half century of the tournament.

Gambhir made a useful contribution in India’s victory against England but otherwise has had a very quiet tournament.

It will again boil down to the performance of Kohli, who has been the most consistent among the Indian top-order batsmen. The team management also requires Yuvraj Singh to make a significant contribution with the bat as he has been consuming way too many deliveries.

An interesting battle will would be on display when the Indians tackle the fiery pace of Dale Steyn and the disconcerting bounce that Morne Morkel will generate.

In all a mouth-watering clash is on the cards on the final day of the Super Eights.(PTI)

Teams:

India (Probable): Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni (c&wk), Irfan Pathan, Laxmipathy Balaji, Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan.

South Africa (Probable): Richard Levi, Hashim Amla, Jacques Kallis, AB de Villiers (c&wk), Jean-Paul Duminy, Wayne Parnell, Farhaan Behardien, Robin Peterson, Johan Botha, Dale Steyn, Morne Morkel.
