In the 2nd semi final of T20 World Cup 2009, the two strong teams Sri Lanka and West Indies will play today at Kennington Oval, London starting from 17:30 local , 16:30 GMT , 21:30 Pakistan, 22:00 India, 20:30 UAE.Sri Lanka has good spin attack with experienced Muttiah Muralitharan and mystery man Ajantha Mendis who is bowling very well in this tournament so far and disturbing opposition batsmen. Both are bowling with a good economy rate which is really impressive in T20 cricket matches. Lasith Malinga and young Isuru Udana are handling pace attack for Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka team is a balanced team with experienced batsmen Dilshan, Jayasuria, Sangakkara and Jayawardene as well as young Chamara Silva and Mathews.
West Indies has a great batting lineup with some big hitters like opener Andre Fletcher, all rounder Dwayne Bravo, Kieron Pollard, Ramnaresh Sarwan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Lendl Simmons and wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin. West Indies must need a massive inning from Skipper Chris Gayle who fired on Australian bowlers. The strong point of West Indies is their pace attack with Bravo, Simmons, Jerome Taylor and Pollard. Tall left arm spinner Sulieman Benn can disturb Sri Lanka players who are very good to play spin.
