Srilanka vs Zimbabwe Live Streaming T20 World Cup 2012

Finally the T20 World Cup 2012 kicks off with the hosts Sri Lanka taking on Zimbabwe at Hambantota. Although other groups in this world cup has teams like Afghanistan and Ireland but the group with least uncertainties has to be Group C. This group comprises of Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Zimbabwe has been out of form since a long time and we can expect wonders from teams like Ireland and Afghanistan. Hence it seems pretty certain that Group C will see the other two teams performing better. But again as we all know the great game of cricket is full of uncertainties beyond our speculations, we just need to wait and watch.Srilanka vs Zimbabwe Live Streaming T20 World Cup 2012

Sri Lanka has the best win ratio in T20 World Cup history. They had a bad world cup edition in 2007 but in 2009 they won almost everything before losing to Pakistan in the finals. They managed to reach semi finals in 2010. After being one of the most successful teams in World T20 history, still they are yet to clinch the title. This can be their best opportunity as they will enjoy the home conditions.

With Dilshan, Jayawardene, Mathews and many others to name; all in good form Zimbabwe will have a tough time out there. They also have to face the unplayable yorkers of Malinga. Yes we can't forget Zimbabwe defeated Australia in the first ever T20 World Cup played in 2007 (in group matches). But expecting another such performance will be a big ask at this juncture.

The spin department of Srilanka looks fatal with the likes of Ajantha Mendis and Herath. Zimbabwe batsmen need to tackle their spin well to survive throughout the innings. Having all said and done, by no means any team can be written off in the shortest form of cricket and this makes T20 more exciting!
