ICC World Twenty20 | Non-Pakistan Warm-up matches | 28/Apr/10

Today's warm-up matches:


Sri Lanka v South Africa

Bangladesh v England

West Indies v New Zealand

Afghanistan v Ireland
 
Sri Lanka off to a VERY poor start!! 39/4 after 8 overs against SA.
 
SL are 39/4 against SA. An early failure for Dilshan with a first baller. Jayasuriya batting in the middle order (I'm not sure about that move) on 8(14) with Matthews on 5(9).

SA peaking too early yet again? :p
 
45/5 now as van der Merwe removes Matthews in his first over.

10 overs to go.
 
SL in big trouble here 47/5 11 overs gone, Jasiuriya need to pull out something special here
 
109/6 with 2 overs to go. Not a bad recovery with SJ managing 39(29) with a couple of sixes. No Steyn playing btw.

SL will have to bowl their hearts out though.
 
Wow, Kapugedera has just gone crazy with four maximums. He gets to 53(33) and there's still 4 balls left. Something to bowl at for SL if this wicket takes spin.

126/8 in 19.2.
 
138 the target. Kapu played a jem of 61(35) with FIVE sixes.
 
South Africa will lose this match, their batting doesn't look that strong.

Bangladesh looking good! :))

45 runs in 6 overs for the loss of a wicket. Not a bad start.
 
Job done.

Ireland limping along to 30/4 against the Afghanis.
 
Bangladesh struggling against part-time spin, what will happen on Saturday? :afridi :ajmal
 
Yardy on fire 3-15 now as BD are really struggling.
 
Interesting.

Bangladesh 89/6 in 16 overs while..
Ireland are 89/5 in 15 overs.
 
127 will be England's target. Something to bowl at for Bangladesh but you expect the English to take this one.

Zimbabwe shock Australia in World Twenty20 warm-up
Australia suffered a stunning one-run loss to outsiders Zimbabwe in their opening World Twenty20 warm-up match in St Lucia on Tuesday.

Zimbabwe made 173 for seven, featuring a dashing 76 from Elton Chigumbura, in their 20 overs before holding Australia to 172 for seven.

Opener David Warner top-scored for Australia with 72 and Twenty20 captain Michael Clarke made 49 but, even though left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson had earlier taken four wickets for 23 runs, Zimbabwe denied Australia victory.

Australia needed 13 off the final over but Clarke was dimissed off the penultimate delivery before Johnson, one of several Aussies to be run out, was exited off a wide.

Brett Lee's leg-bye off the last ball was not enough for Australia.

Earlier, Chigumbura's runs came from just 35 balls with six sixes and five fours in an innings where Australia all-rounder Shane Watson's two overs went for an expensive 34 runs.

"Obviously we would have liked to have won," Johnson said.

"It's disappointing to lose in a practice match but we've just got to keep going forward, keep working hard in our training sessions and make sure we're ready for the World Cup."

Clarke's side were without the rested duo of fast bowler Shaun Tait and vice-captain Cameron White.

But the duo are set to return for Thursday's second and final warm-up game against the Windward Islands.

Australia's opening match of the tournament proper is against defending champions Pakistan in St Lucia on Sunday.

In other warm-up matches, New Zealand proved too strong for minnows Ireland in a 40-run victory in Guyana.

Kiwi opener Jesse Ryder made 64 and Martin Guptill 50 as New Zealand compiled a total of 187 for five in their 20 overs.

Ireland, in reply, struggled with captain William Porterfield's 34, the top score in a total of 147 for nine. Nathan McCullum led New Zealand's attack with three for 25.

The Black Caps are in action against Sri Lanka, last year's losing finalists, and Ireland face hosts the West Indies in a 'double-bill' that will open the tournament in Guyana on Friday.

Pakistan overwhelmed the Windward Islands by 68 runs in a warm-up match in St Lucia while, in Bridgetown, Bangladesh beat Barbados by 36 runs.

Inshallah man, i just hope. Desperate to see them perform and win.
 
i might end up supporting Afghans after pakistan..but we will see what happens..
 
Each passing day Afghanistan are staking a claim for a place in the test tier of nations. Ireland is the leading nation right now but they overpowered them in this warm up game.

As they progress in ICC divisions, it will be interesting to see how they perform in longer versions of the game. but in t20 they are certainly a force to reckon with. I have a feeling India and South Africa are for a rude awakening.

yeah it's certainly is a good feeling seeing Afghanistan do so well, also hearing some of the stories from their players really brings a tear in your eyes, Inshallah oneday they'll go far in cricket. They deserve the test status more than us.
