NZ's top order will actually survive most of the innings (except for Ryder obviously), but instead go at about 3 an over til McCullum finally hits one and holes out.

They're not that hard to work out.

Pakistan 130
South Africa 119
Sri Lanka 115
Australia 112
India 109
New Zealand 97
West Indies 91
England 84
Bangladesh 80
Zimbabwe 80

associates
Ireland 100
Netherlands 67
Canada 59
Scotland 50
Kenya 35
Bermuda 0

edit: Pakistan to 132 and Australia to 109 after the Dubai game

Pakistan 'll win it( only cuz i'm a pakistani, i'll say Pakistan 'll win it lol)
but i guess they can reach semi's with ease
England, Netherlands & Pakistan in group b

probably england & pakistan 'll reach next round

pakistan 'll 've to face, Newzealand, bangladesh, (srilanka or westindies) in super 8's
can win 2 out of 3 to qualify for the semi's

on the other hand, india 'll 've Australia, south africa & england is super 8's
this one is a tough group i guess

can't choose 2 to reach semi's, cuz anythin can happen
i'm not guessing it, i saw how groups are managed in icc website

Wow NZ and Pakistan should do pretty well in that first group. The other is basically the hammer England round.

Yeah, but the two Super Eight groups are made up of one team from each of the four preliminary groups, so really, every combination is possible. He's assuming SA beats NZ, and Australia win both their games, for example.

Cool.

Surprised South Africa are so high.

Younis Khan has commented that Pakistan will win the Twenty 20 cup this time around. He is confident that Pakistan will win the coveted Twenty 20 Cup this time. Pakistan still regrets losing to India in the final of the ICC Twenty 20 World Cup two years ago, as captain Younis Khan has said that he will make sure that his side wins the trophy this time around.

Well if Pakistan has to blame anyone for losing last world cup final, that would be Younis khan

he ran Imran Nazir out & then played a lose short
in the end it was the fall of wickets that was the cause of defeat
& the truth is Pakistan lost it rather than india winning it
even with that score on that pitch, bangladesh would 've chased it down
& Younas khan saying that he wants to see pakistan winning, well it doesn't look like that
specially when better twenty 20 players are sitting out & players like Younis Khan playing in twenty 20, it doesn't look like Pakistan winning it

I calculated them - using pretty much the same methods the ICC use for their 50-over rankings. So not official in any way.

Pakistan have won about 75 % of their Twenty20 games, which explains their high ranking.

Naumaan · 15-05-2009, 04:53 AM

yeah Pakistan's win %age is 79%
not bad
played 17 won 13 lost 3 tie 1
but i guess ICC 'll introduced t20 rankings sometime
cuz it's been a huge hit
even people from netherlands now following it
great!!!!!!!

For me India won't win. Repeat victories have never been our thing and I don't think we can replicate the success of 2007. I'd love to see us do it though but it's a long shot at best. I think South Africa, Australia and India will make the Semi Finals but I'm leaning towards Sri Lanka for the victory.

AWTA. I voted for Windies... Juz thinking how much funny it would be if Gayle does pose at Lords with World T20 crown given his interviews and the reactions to them recently...

IMO, it's a lottery

Many of India's main players are out of form and only getting a game in the IPL because of quota system

Oz has picked their test team and most dont have a clue how to play the game anyway

Pak have hardly played any games

Ditto Eng

Many of Sa's main players are lucky to get a game in the IPL

WI are a rabble at the moment

Dark horses could be NZ as they have quite a few high high impact players
