Schedule of Super Eights: ICC WT20

Leave a Comment
Pakistan defeated Netherlands and completes the list of teams for the super eights stage in ICC World Twenty20 2009 cricket tournament held in England. The following is the schedule of matches showing the two groups in Super Eights stage:

Group E:
11 Jun: England vs South Africa
12 Jun: West Indies vs India
13 Jun: West Indies vs South Africa
14 Jun: England vs India
15 Jun: England vs West Indies
16 Jun: India vs South Africa

Group F:
11 Jun: Ireland vs New Zealand
12 Jun: Pakistan vs Sri Lanka
13 Jun: Pakistan vs New Zealand
14 Jun: Ireland vs Sri Lanka
15 Jun: Ireland vs Pakistan
16 Jun: New Zealand vs Sri Lanka

The schedule is very hectic with matches being played everyday. Teams like West Indies, England, Pakistan and Ireland have to play back to back matches with less than 24 hours between the matches.

Prediction for Semi-finals:
At this stage, I believe South Africa, Sri Lanka and New Zealand are favourites to make it to the semi-finals. The last spot may see a tough fight between India and West Indies, with India holding a slight edge over West Indies. So, my teams for the semi-finals would be South Africa, India, Sri Lanka and New Zealand. The semi-final is expected to feature South Africa-New Zealand and India-Sri Lanka.
