Australia v West Indies - ICC World Twenty20 - 2nd Semi-Final – Toss Report
West Indies have won the toss and elected to bat first against Australia in the second semi-final of the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Twenty20, at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
With the host nation already in the final, fans are all set to witness an unpredictable contest between the two sides, who although do not have a bitter history, but are now going into the match with stakes higher than ever before.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 are in their best form nearly three decades and the current contingent
has some of the cleanest hitters of the ball the world has seen, backed by some outstanding bowling attack both in fast and spin department.
On the other hand, the Australians are not in their prime form and so far have failed to show strength in this format of the game.
The current batting unit is heavily relying on the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 during knockout games.
Captain’s comments
Australia:
Bailey: We were looking to bat too. The pitch looks firmer. I think Pakistan bowled well against us. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380 comes in place of Glen Maxwell.
West Indies:
Sammy: We gonna have a bat first. The wicket looks similar to the previous tracks. Our spinners might get assistance. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379 is back into the side. He will not bowl.
Pitch Report:
Apart from some rough patches in the middle that could help the spinner, the pitch is a batting wicket where the batsmen are expected to dominate the bowlers if their chose their shots wisely.
