I hope and pray for India, but logic tells you that India has never beaten NZ in T 20 and we have a tough task ahead.

pitch was slow and tough SA really did not use thier batters weel in order , thats the reason for low score.
Delillers their best batter came soo late, also albie morkal shoud get atleast 6-8 overs , these 2 players are key in batting and shoud get enough overs, the batting line up of SA shoud be as below ,especially when playing against top teams like india. 1.smith 2.Gibbs 3.Vander merve 4.AB Devillers 5.A.Morkal 6 J.Dumny 7 M.Boucher 8.J. kallis 9. Botha 10.M.morkal 11. Styn
they donot need to use kallis batting skill unless it really demand , he is a classy player and can open also , but it will dealy others chances , which more costly. so SA need to plan
Their bowling no doubt best in world Vander merve and botha r class acts. SA will win anyway

NZ has beaten India in the last 3 matches of the T20, and you say NZ is weak.

India did well with bat in all three matches against NZ attack. India lost because of weak bowling.

ysterday pitch ws good for bowlers n batting ws nt so easy. thts y batsman frm both th team were suffering and were unable to make quick runs.

I think SA bowling was too good for NZ batting line up. But we couldn't expect poor performance from SA batsman against average bowling of NZ. I think they should made 140-150.

most of the nz bowlers r medium slow. on slower pitchwhen bowl ws nt coming on the bat, it becomes more difficult to play these medium slow bowler. ofcourse SA batsman could nt carry on bt the main factor ws pitch. in last over when morkel ws batting , u may c tht he missed few balls n could nt timed them properly. it all happened bcoz of slowness. in second inning it ws more slower n thts y we could nt c any sixes. ys NZ batting is nt very good bt for ODI and test only. as far as T20 is concern v cnt say tht they r weak. they hv some really good hitter.

Actually I didn't see the match but we can expect at least 140 from a strong batting side on any kind of pitch in T-20.

dhobi strike rate in T20 is pathetic 103. He should be dropped
Since Pakistan has intruded into Super 8 stage, many opponents would have an easy outing in the next stage (since the Pak batting line-up is the weakest among the teams qualified for Super 8)

don't listen to all those oldies man. You have been reading too much from those who couldn't play 20/20 and are just jealous. BTW, street boys have always been playing 20/20 and do you mean to say, there has never been a consistent street boys team??

it would have been very bad if pakistan was ousted.. imagine no india pak match.. now atleast india will get the previlige to beat them again..
Both teams that South Africa and New Zealand teams are very good teams. But in T20 world cup when you loose match by only one run that is very sad news for New Zealand but there is no effect on both teams because both teams are qualified for supper eights. In supper eights competition became very tuff for India because both teams that South Africa, New Zealand and Shrilanka teams are in very good forms. India wants to play in T20 world cup consistently for world cup.
SA is a very comfortable team. His player is very strong. It is a very golden chance for win the T20 world cup. Graeme Smith think useful captain for his player. Best of Luck
