Pakistan vs Sri Lanka T20 Match 2009 FINAL: Detailed Analysis and Information You Need to Know
Millions of people will be eyeing on Friday’s game to see who will win the game. It is sure that both teams can make some thrill and excitement to the fans. If you compare both the teams then you may give Sri Lanka the favorite tag. This match will be held between group champion team Sri Lanka and runners-up team Pakistan.
Live TV channels: We the fans are passionately waiting to see a closely-fought game between these two teams. You may surf on net to know that which TV channels will show this game live. In my earlier post, I had mentioned that ESPN STAR Sports has got the global broadcasting rights. It has become the much viewed sports after telecasting it live around 216 countries. You can enjoy this game live on STAR CRICKET, which is owned by ESPN STAR Sports.
Pakistan’s only one famous sports TV channel Geo Super can broadcast this game live. Pakistan’s national TV channel PTV will show all the matches of World Twenty20 2009.
Sri Lankan are also crazy for cricket. They should want to see this game live on TV. Two TV channels- Nethra TV and Channel Eye- from Sri Lanka will show this game live. In Nethra TV you will get Tamil commentary. On the other hand, Channel Eye will provide English commentary.
The inclusion of Abdul Razzaq: Pakistan cricket fans will be happy when they will hear that rebel player Abdul Razzaq has got clearance from ICC. Now, he can play for Pakistan team in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2009. It is heard that he will replace Yasir Arafat in the main squad. His inclusion will increase Pakistan’s strength and boost the team members to perform well. I am waiting to see this great all rounder in the field. Abdul Razzaq is a hard-hitter batsman and effective pace bowler. Yasir Arafat has been ruled out of the tournament due to his hamstring injury.
Probable team to win the match: Pakistan and Sri Lanka faced each other thrice in their previous game where Pakistan got win two times. This list will put Pakistan ahead in the favorite list than Sri Lanka. Not only that, their performance against Sri Lanka will inspire the players to make another repetition of history. Cricket analyst says that Pakistan will face a tough challenge against Sri Lanka. Pak were lack out of cricket for long time. Each of them will try to get a win in their first match which will put them in a safe position.
Pakistan lost to England on their first T20 match in a group stage. However, they made their return against Netherlands after getting a big victory. On the other hand, Sri Lanka got win against two strong teams. They bet Australia and put them out of the tournament. Sri Lanka has much possibility to win the match. Do you agree with me?
Players to watch: Sri Lanka’s hard-hitter batsman Sanath Jayasuriya will celebrate his 40th birthday at the end of this month. At the age of almost 40, he is still playing his aggressive style in this format of cricket tournament. He played an aggressive inning of 81 off 47 balls against West Indies. Spin maestro Ajantha Mendis will be focused more with his various bowling action. Sri Lanka will use same squad. So, I can not see any opportunity for both Nuwan Kulasekara or Farveez to make their return in the squad. They have been replaced by Isuru Udana and Angelo Mathews. Fans should look for Abdul Razzaq. Will selectors select him for this match?
Cause of concern: Pakistan’s poor ground fielding is a big cause of concern to its fans. Opening pair is not in good form. Pakistan needs good opening start which will help a team to make a mammoth score. Sohail Tanvir is now return. He will be seen along with Umar Gul as an opening bowling pair. If Pakistan can take some quick wickets then no one can stop them from their victory.
In this entry, I have tried my best to show everything about this match. I will be happy if you get some information and enlarge your brain. You can put your request, idea or message in comment option.
