Any guesses/hopes/predictions for the World T20? I'm going for the finalists as being two from Sri Lanka, WI and NZ, SL only if Malinga plays, which he should do, though he may miss their first match against Afghanistan. England? I think they might make the semis : they should play a left arm seamer, and they can choose between Topley and Willey. Roy and Hales seem to work well together as an opening pair, my main concern in the batting is their captain, Morgan - it's feast or famine from him, unfortunately rather more often the latter.
I don't think so SL has any chance to make it to semis. They have a relatively new team and all of their players are out of form, including Malinga. My prediction for the semis would be IND, NZ and SA,WI. These four teams have got very suitable players and they can change the match at any point. Virat is in red hot form, Dhoni, Yuvraj, Raina, Rohit, Aswhin, all these players are performing for the last six months. NZ has good lot of good hitters, Martin Guptil, Munro, Taylor, Kane Williamson and has good bowlers too. WI is a surprise package. On their day, they can beat any team in t20 format. Chris Gayle, Bravo, Samules, Smith, Russel, Bandre and list of all-rounders goes on and on. Last but not the least, SA has some solid batting power AB, Faf, Decock, Hash, Millers and than the good bowlers like Styen, Morkel, Tahir, Rabada.
The only reason i write-off England is because they are not good in Sub continent conditions, though they performed exceptionally well against Pak in UAE, which has more of same conditions as Sub continent. For me, Butler is key for England, as he performed brilliantly in the series against Pak.
