Historic & long rivalry faces each other once again in the T20 World Cup. Can't wait for the match on 30/9/2012, this will be an epic battle. Hopping for Green Team to win but the odds are in the favor of Team India when it comes to World Cup. Best of luck to both nations.

Just want to say that it doesn't make sense all the top four, winners of each group, playing each other. Almost seems the easiest way to get to the semis is to have come second in your group matches.

Yea u r right Steve could not work out how they were allocated their A1 or C2 status from the beginning certainly was not based on world rankings! Is a crazy!
