World cup T20 Preview:
India or SA seem to be everyone's favourite to win the tournament. I would pick a resurgent Aussie (I hate the team though) team to win the tournament.
I think the way Super 8 groups are being formed (not as per standings but as per seedings), India are in a potentially very strong group in Super 8s.
Possible groups could be:
1. India
2. Netherlands (given England have lost)
3. Australia
4. South Africa
The other group would be:
1. Bangladesh
2. Pakistan
3. West Indies (or Srilanka)
4. Newzeland
I think second group would see Newzeland & Pakistan going thro to semi finals. The first group is group of death with 3 very strong teams - the three favourites in the same group.
I suppose Australia & SA should make it thro to the semi finals from the other group.
Much against my heart, I feel India could potentially self destruct against a strong SA & Australian team. The Team would be fatigued after tough rigour of IPL and I honestly dont fancy our chances. Plus Indian team never plays well with favourites tag. Remember 2007 -- we won because no one even considered as the dark horses - a team w/o Sachin, Sourav, Rahul & Zaheer. I hope I am proved wrong
