Mathews, Mendis recover in-time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 clash – Cricket News Roundup- Part III – September 25, 2012
Spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758’s opening Super Eight match against New Zealand, at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
Ajantha Mendis had strained his side during his record breaking performance, six for eight, against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757, in the second and final Group C fixture, on Saturday.
"Both players had precautionary scans and there was nothing major," said the Sri Lankan team manager http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Charith-Panduka-Senanayake-c49664, during a media encounter on Tuesday. "They are most likely to train today with the team," he added further.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760’ chances against defending champions England, as the two teams gear up to face off in a World T20 Super Eight match, at Pallekele on Thursday.
"It's a very important game for us. We do fancy our chances against them," said Sammy while speaking to media reporters on Monday night. "We watch them play last night, we have enough footage on them. Judging from what we saw the other day, we have got some quality spinners and I am confident that they will play their part in the match against England," he added further.
After losing World T20 opener against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 by 17 runs (Duckworth Lewis method) and a washed out match against Ireland, the Windies graduated into the next round by virtue of their superior net run-rate. But Sammy said that they will start afresh going into the Super Eight stage and will try their best to reach the final fours.
West Indies skipper Darren Sammy on Monday lavished praise on mystery spinner http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sunil-Philip-Narine-c91869, and hoped for him to play decisive role in the Super Eight match against England, on Thursday.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013’s batting line-up faltered miserably against Indian spinners on Sunday, and taking heart from that Sammy is hoping for Narine to do wonders for them come the Super Eight match between the two sides on Thursday.
"Sunil is someone who brings quality to the side," said Sammy while speaking to media reporters after a rain-ruined no-result match against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751. "We can use him anytime, during the powerplay, in the middle overs... that's his quality," he added further.
