Big match for India. I know that its Australia playing against Pakistan, but India really need Pakistan to beat Australia for them to have any chance to qualify for the semis. Fingers crossed for them. Now, the question is will Pakistan do that? Will they take this match seriously? Or will they just take this match as a practice match? Well anything is possible with Pakistan. They may want to continue a winning streak or maybe they just want to give rest to their key players ahead of the big clash in semis. We just have to wait and see.

Australia playing versus West Indies, this can only be point picking option for Australia. West Indies don’t have their regular players, as if it would have any difference, therefore this match can be like practice match for Aussies.
Australia (possible): 1 Shane Watson, 2 Tim Paine (wk), 3 Ricky Ponting (capt), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Callum Ferguson, 6 Cameron White, 7 James Hopes, 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Brett Lee, 10 Nathan Hauritz, 11 Peter Siddle.
West Indies (possible): 1 Dale Richards, 2 Andre Fletcher, 3 Devon Smith, 4 Travis Dowlin, 5 Floyd Reifer (capt), 6 David Bernard, 7 Darren Sammy, 8 Chadwick Walton (wk), 9 Nikita Miller, 10 Tino Best, 11 Gavin Tonge.

It is England versus Sri Lanka in Group B match. England faces a tough opponent who seemed to have picked the cricket form just at the right time. SL batting opening looks devastating with centurion Dilshan and old horse but explosive Jayasuriya. Then we have calmness and serenity of Sangakkara alongside Jayawardena. What more can you ask for in the batting line up. The name of rest batsmen even don’t have to be mentioned. Their bowling lineup, well what more to say after seeing their performance against SA. Mendis was on fire and still seems to be a mystery to most of the batsmen. It seems like Mendis always encrypts his bowling styles with a special private key that he only knows about. Therefore without that private key how the hell batsmen are going to decrypt his bowling and therefore not loose their wicket or at least score runs from him.
As if that not enough, they have Murali to contend with or loose wicket against plus a balanced fast bowling unit. Well England, you are in for a tough tough day again.
For England, it seems they have something wrong with that team composition. It simply is not a winning team. Where are the power hitter. My suggestion is either put Collingwood or Owais Shah. They can’t afford both these test style players. How can you play Broad in no. 7? You can’t. You can’t expect him to be an all rounder. He has some runs, but that promise is fine for no.8 not 7.

South Africa takes on New Zealand in the 3rd match of this Champions Trophy. The host has already lost one match against SL so will look to justify their status as pre tournament favourite by winning this match convincingly and proving that the first match was just some aberration and was the result of rustiness of not being involved in international match for a long time.
New Zealand after some poor performance in Sri Lanka will like to take advantage of the pressure hanging on SA. New Zealand are always giant killers and step up their performance whenever people write them off. This can be one of those days.
