PREVIEW
Pakistan didn't know until late on Tuesday night whether they'd have to keep their hotel reservations in Colombo for a few more days. But when South Africa's Robin Peterson gloved a ball for a single to take the score to 122 against India, a roar went around the Premadasa. It sounded as though Sri Lanka were playing, but the noise was from a legion of Pakistan fans who were celebrating their team's progress to the semi-finals on net run rate, at India's expense. There wasn't much separating the two sides, but Pakistan were better placed because they got their tactics right and won big against Australia earlier in the evening.

Spin has been Pakistan's strength in this tournament and their captain Mohammad Hafeez used his resources astutely. If that meant giving a rookie spinner the new ball and making the most experienced fast bowler wait till the 18th over, then so be it. The plan was to suffocate the Australians with turn on a sluggish pitch and it worked to such an extent that even Shane Watson had a rare, bad outing. The fielders made Australia's qualifying target of 112 seem distant. As a result, Pakistan play their fourth World Twenty20 semi-final tomorrow, but unlike on Tuesday, they will not have the lion's share of the support.

Sri Lanka are familiar opponents for Pakistan. The hosts were the more dominant side when Pakistan visited in June-July. Sri Lanka looked a more settled side in the Super Eights, making heavy weather of the chase against New Zealand (which culminated in a Super Over victory) and trouncing West Indies and England. The return of Ajantha Mendis has given their spin attack more bite and the seamers, Lasith Malinga and Nuwan Kulasekara don't offer respite.
It's ironic though that the semi-final is Sri Lanka's first game in Colombo during this World Twenty20. They love playing at the Premadasa and the pitch - not as quick as the ones Pakistan played on in June - should suit their spinners. Sri Lanka haven't had a world title since 1996. They are two games away from breaking the drought, at home.

Yuvraj Singh who was recoveres from cancer is back to the team after 10 months and Bhajji is also been included in 15 man squad. I am amused that Yusuf Pathan is not been included in the squad. Full Team is listed below:

Indian cricketer Yuvraj is in no mood to rush his comeback into the national side after undergoing cancer treatment. However, he hopes to be fit for the Twenty20 World Cup in September.Cricketer who was known for his all round performance in ICC world Cup 2011 and man of the series performance will surely boost the morale of Indian team in upcoming ICC T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.
The all-rounder, speaking at ICC Cricket 360° show, didn't want to commit to when he anticipated a return to the cricket field.
"Well, I can't really give a timeframe but I have to see how my body is recovering and how fast I can come on the field. Actually, I don't want to rush and I don't want to come back at 75 percent fitness. I might take six months, I might take two months. So I don't know. Butthe day I feel 100 hundred percent, I surely will be back," he said.
"Playing for India is going to be a huge challenge for me because the body has been under a lot of shock which nobody can understand except me. Only a cancer patient can understand what he is going through. So, it is going to be a big challenge for me to come back and play for India again," said the 30-year-old, who returned in April after undergoing chemotherapy in the US.
Yuvraj, who is perhaps best remembered for his astonishing six sixes off one Stuart Broad over at the ICC World Twenty20 Cup in South Africa in 2007, did hint that he may be available for selection for the next edition of the event in Sri Lanka and believes he can help his country capture the title.
"I think (the) favourites are India because we have got the biggest hitters - biggest hitters in town. Hopefully, I should be back by then. I am not saying I am the reason, it is just that I feel we have the strongest side and if we can sort out our bowling out in T20, I am sure we can be a strong unit," he said.

Today was the day when the two Bangladeshi players made record of most runs and most wicket. In ACC U-19 Asia cup Group B ,Soumya Sarkar scored a blasting 209 off just 135 balls in which he hit 28 fours and 8 massive sixes. It was not over for the opposition, in second inning of the match Abu Haider took 9 wickets, unfortunately the one man was absent hurt.

Soumya Sarkar

The intresting thing was that the both palyers got the man of the match awards. This is first time in which two players of same team scored 200+ and took 9 wickets.

The match summary is :
Bangladesh Under-19s 363/7(50 ov) (Soumya Sarkar 209 , L Lokesh 3 wick)
Qatar Under-19s 35 (11.4 ov) (L Lokesh 9 runs, Abu Haider 9wick)

Tom Maynard the Surrey and England Lions batsman, has died, the club and the Metropolitan police have confirmed.

Maynard's body was found on the rails of a tube station in south London around dawn this morning after he was hit by a district line train. Initial reports that Maynard died in a car accident have been discounted.

Tom Maynard

British Transport Police officers were called to the line near Wimbledon Park London Underground station. A statement said: "The incident was reported to BTP at 5.03am and was also attended by Metropolitan Police officers. London Ambulance Service medics attended but the man, believed to be 23 years old, was pronounced dead at the scene. The incident is currently being treated as non-suspicious."

The news was broken to England's players as they arrived at Maynard's home ground of The Oval ahead of the second ODI against West Indies on Tuesday.

A Surrey statement said: "Maynard was an incredibly talented young batsman. His future potential was unlimited, with experts both inside and outside the club predicting he would soon follow in the footsteps of his father Matthew by graduating to full England honours."

Surrey's chairman Richard Thompson said: "Our thoughts at this awful time are with Tom's family and friends and all those that were close to him. The impact Tom made in such a short period of time for Surrey CCC spoke for itself. There is a profound sense of loss at the passing of Tom. To lose anybody at such a young age is an utterly senseless tragedy."

ECB Chairman Giles Clarke said: "Tom was a player of enormous potential who had already represented England Lions and had an exciting future ahead of him. Our hearts go out to the Maynard family for their tragic loss and we send them and all Tom's many friends and colleagues within the game our deepest sympathies."

Surrey have postponed their Friends Life t20 game against the Hampshire Royals at the Oval on Wednesday, but England's ODI is expected to go ahead.

Tom Maynard was the son of Matthew Maynard, the former Glamorgan batsman who played Test and one-day cricket for England.

Maynard was regarded as one of the brightest talents in the game, a destructive middle-order batsman who was perfectly suited to Surrey's enterprising style of cricket. He had played in Surrey's FLt20 defeat by Kent at Beckenham on Sunday

He left Glamorgan following the removal of his father, Matthew, as director of cricket in November 2010 and joined Surrey where Rory Hamilton-Brown, a former Millfield schoolmate, had been appoointed the youngest captain in the country.

Tom Maynard Playing for England Lions

Tragedy has struck Surrey for the third time in 16 years. Ben Hollioake, an England all-rounder of rich promise, was killed in a car crash in Australia after driving back late at night from a family meal. Hollioake, 24, died instantly when his black Porsche 924 came off the road on a ramp in the early hours of the morning in Perth, Western Australia.

England's cricketers, who were contesting the second Test in Wellington, New Zealand, when hearing of Hollioake's death requested that the England flag be lowered to half-mast and wore black armbands.

Six years earlier, Graham Kersey, the county's wicketkeeper, died in a car accident near Brisbane in December 1996. Adam Hollioake, Ben's brother and then Surrey captain, dedicated their Benson and Hedges final success the following summer to the player.

From Australia, Adam Hollioake's tweet must have spoken for many when he wrote: "Wot is going on at Surrey? R we cursed or something? Graham Kersey, my bro, now this.... Treasure every moment with loved ones x."

Indian national cricket team captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni arrived here in the Capital via Air India flight at 9.30 Saturday morning.

Dhoni is here for a two-day visit on the invitation of the Indian Embassy.

Upon his arrival, Dhoni expressed his belief that his two-day visit would be fruitful.

"Cricket is famous in South Asian countries, i want to see Nepal a famous cricket team in the future," Dhoni said.

He will spend 3-4 hours at cricket stadium at Kirtipur where he will be passing on tips and sharing his thoughts with Nepali cricketers.

"Being a cricket player, i want to contribute for the Nepali team," Dhoni added.

Later in the evening, he will deliver a lecture at Hotel Yak and Yeti where he will talk about the various aspect of cricket and will meet his avid Nepali fans.

On June 16, he will visit the Pashupati Nath temple. Then he will be visiting the Indian Embassy before flying out to New Delhi on a 3pm flight.

Purple is the colour of the Indian Premier League and the Knights are the new Kings. There are a whole host of new heroes who made this possible: The unheralded Manvinder Singh Bisla, the legendary Jacques Kallis, Shakib Al Hasan, and Kolkata's own Manoj Tiwary.

Each of them played like they owned the stage as Shah Rukh Khan's Knights notched up an unbelievable win with three balls to spare.

Bisla didn't know till Saturday evening whether he would be playing the final. KKR took a big gamble by playing him ahead of Brendon McCullum and the Haryana batsman was an absolute revelation.

A chase of 191 is thought to be out of bounds when you are playing at the Chepauk against CSK, and when skipper Gautam Gambhir got out in the first over, it seemed Chennai were well on their way to making it a hat-trick of titles.

But Bisla came out of nowhere and started hitting every single bowler on view. Dhoni just hadn't prepared the blueprint for the guy.

With the pitch staying good for batting, Bisla simply put his foot out of the way and continued to hit through the line. The CSK bowlers were left clueless. Then there was Kallis at the other end top contend with. The South African looked rock solid and it seemed that he knew he was eager to win the game on his own.

But when he got out with KKR still needing 16 off 11 balls, CSK were in with a chance. Dhoni started playing his standard tricks, taking time between deliveries and making the pressure unbearable for every single soul on the ground!

But it was destined to be KKR's night. Shakib survived a close call when Billy Bowden called a no-ball for a waist-high full toss off Ben HIlfenhaus. Shakib hit a boundary off the next ball and it was down to nine off the last over.

Bravo was a picture of confidence coming into bowl, but so was Tiwary. Two brilliant boundaries and the Knights was on top the world with two balls to spare.

Earlier, when Super Kings batted, it was again the brilliant batting unit that came to the fore. While M Vijay and Mike Hussey gave them the dream start, Raina played his best innings of the IPL and took his team to a position of strength.

Vijay (42 off 32 balls), who has been in divine touch since the Delhi game a couple of days back, started from where he had left off. The supreme timing of the right-hander was on display as an off-colour Lee failed to find the correct length. Hussey, too, kept rotating the strike, making it difficult for the bowlers to settle down and the opening pair put on 87 runs in 10.2 overs. Vijay looked well set for much more, but an outstanding diving catch by Shakib Al Hasan at deep square leg brought about his downfall.

KKR were looking to come back into the match with Gambhir handing his resources well. But Raina (71 off 36 balls), who has struggled through the tournament, suddenly decided to make the final stage his own. His case was made just a little easier when Gambhir brought Yusuf Pathan in for the 14th over. Raina was waiting for this opportunity to explode and took 17 runs off that one over with his characteristic slog sweeps that helped Chennai retain the momentum.

Gambhir was banking on the last three overs that mystery spinner Sunil Narine had up his sleeve. But when he came on to bowl for his second spell, CSK had lost only two wickets with Raina and Dhoni well entrenched. With no fear of losing wickets, Raina went after Narine, and the West Indies player, for the first time in the tournament, started feeling the heat.
