England clinch ICC World Twenty20 Cup 2010

On Sunday, England played Australia in the ICC World Twenty20 Cup 2010 finals. England so far have never & ever won any kind of ICC tournaments till Sunday. This was supposed to be the 2nd match for them to enter into a ICC finals of any kind. On the other side, Australia have also not won a ICC World Twenty20 Cup till date. So it was a must win match for both of them.

But Australians could not stand before England. They outplayed Australia right from the start of the match. Loss of earlier wicket on Australians side was the key to success for the England. They restricted Australia to just 147 runs in 20 overs. Though England lost Michael Lumb in the early stage, Craig Kieswetter and Kevin Pietersen hit a magnificent 63 & 47 runs respectively. England chased down the target successfully in just 17 overs with 18 balls in spare. Now England's dream has come true, as they have won their first ICC trophy & have created an history.

I am an die hard fan of India, but India didn't even enter semis. Australia has already won 4 world cups & look very strong at the moment.
But England had never won any kind of World Cup so i supported England. Now i am happy for England winning the world cup :)

ICC World Twenty20 Cup Finals today

Australians after an unbelievable last moment victory against the Pakistan in the 2nd Semi-finals, will be playing ICC World Twenty Cup finals today. They will be facing England at Kensington Oval, Bridgetown - Barbados.

Australians had won all the matches in the Twenty20 2010 till date, on the other side even England are in the same position. Both are looking forward to win the cup this time. Neither Australia nor England have entered the World Twenty20 Cup till last year. Australia have won 4 ICC world cups till now, but have not lifted any World Twenty20 Cup. On the other hand, England till now have entered only 2 ICC final events. They have to yet open an account in ICC history & this match be a real challenge for them as they will be facing the toughest team in the world.

Australians have good bowlers like Dirk Nannes, Shaun Tait and Mitchell Johnson who can restrict the Englands batting attack. Similarly, even England has Stuart Broad, Ryan Sidebottom and Tim Bresnan who can give equal fight as of Australians.
If Michael Hussey is the Ace card for Australia then Kevin Pietersen is for England. David Warner and Shane Watson are dangerous openers for Australia, similarly Craig Kieswetter and Michael Lumb are good openers & both are in good form on England side.
So this shows, Both the teams are well balanced & are neck to neck. If personally prefer that this will be an very interesting match as the top 2 teams in this World Twenty20 Cup 2010 will be facing each other.
