India Vs Australia Live in ICC Champions Trophy 2009

India plays its second match against the Australia on Monday. India lost their 1st match in the ICC Champions Trophy against the Pakistan. They desperately need the victory in the match as Pakistan seems to be already qualified and if Aussie wins the match they will qualify too. Australia defeated West Indies in the first match. But it was not too easy for the Kangaroos against the West Indies as they thought.

Some advantage seems to be on the Ricky Ponting's but its all about Dhoni's captaincy in the other side. Both the teams have lots to do after the first match and this match is more important. India vs Australia match is yet another awaited match in the Champions Trophy.

Players to watch : Rahul Dravid, Gautam Gambhir and Ricky Ponting, Mitchell Johnson

India vs Pakistan - Live in ICC Champions Trophy 2009

After about 16 months India vs Pakistan cricket match will be held. Its the 1st match for India in the Champions trophy 2009 and second for Pakistan. The current Indian and Pakistani team seem to be equally balanced with some special features as well as some problems in both team. Pakistan has probably the best pace attack while India is with the superb batting lineup. Unlike India, Pakistan is not hit my problem with so much of injuries which is a benefit for them.

India vs Pakistan - Group A of Champions Trophy
Match date: 26th September
Match time: 6:00 PM in India, 5:30 PM in Pakistan, 14:30 local and 12:30 GMT

The pitch at Centurion is expected to be a batting pitch and we can expected a huge total made by either team. With high scores, the match will definitely be a close encounter.

India is likely to open with Gambhir and Tendular. Sachin, Dravid, Dhoni, Raina and Pathan will be in middle order. The bowling will feature Harbajan, Ishant and RP Singh. Yuvraj Singh's place can be occupied either by Virat Kohli, Avishek Nayar or Dinesh Karthik. Pakistan is definite to open with Akmal and Nazir. Younis Khan will play after missing first match due to Injury. Shahid Afridi, Misbah, Shoaib Malik are other batsmen. Umar Akmal is the new entry who can be a big threat to India. Pacemen Aamer and Gul are also in great touch.

Palyer to watch: Aamer and Umar Akmal for Pakistan and Tendulkar and Dhoni for India. More...

India vs Pakistan 2009 in ICC Champions Trophy - Players to watch

Just one more day for one of the most awaited match of this year. After more than 16 months India and Pakistan will be face to face on 26th September's Champions Trophy group match. Since their last encounter, a lot of changes has taken place in the team. Some new players are threat to both India and Pakistan. Players like Umar Akmal and Mohammad Aamer have emerged in Pakistani team who never played against India. I have some of the players whose role can be considered vital in the battle.

Players to watch for Pakistan: The bowling is the weapon of Pakistan and its at its best. Along with pace attack, the spin attack is at its best. Some of the players from Pakistan who can be heroes of the match are:

i) Umar Gul: Umar Gul is the leader of Pakistani pace attack. He showed superb bowling against West Indies and is currently in great touch. In about 60 matches he has 90 wickets and is quite economic. The only problem with him is that his record against India is not very good. Anyway, it was long before and seeing his current form he can be considered the biggest threat to India:

ii) Mohammad Aamer : The 17-year old paceman from Pakistan is a real emerging star. From his debut he has been in great touch. His bowling can touch the speed of 90 mph. Being a youngster, he will be opening the bowing for Pakistan which proves his ability. Only thing lacking in him is experience.

iii) Umar Akmal: Umar Akmal has emerged as a superb batsman for Pakistan. Though he is new to Pakistan cricket, he has shown superb batting against Sri Lanka and West Indies. He is an aggressive batsman and plays with lots of confidence.

Apart from these, spinner Saeed Ajmal and all-rounder Shahid Afridi are in great form.

Players to Watch from India : Unlike Pakistan India is not full of too many youngsters but the senior players are in great touch. Pace attack seems to be a bit weaker in comparison to Pakistan but batting lineup looks better. Some players to watch from India are:

i)Sachin Tendulkar : Sachin Tendulkar is always a great threat to Pakistan. He is a batsman who can play easily against the pace attack of Pakistan. He is currently in great touch. The century against Sri Lanka has shown that he can play for more years with same class and batting technique.

2) MS Dhoni : MS Dhoni too has been a great headache for Pakistan. Dhoni was recognized as a very attacking batsmen in the series against Pakistan. Either its test, ODI or T20 Dhoni has always shown great batting against Pakistan. He is now in great form as is the no.1 batsman in ODI ranking.

3)Ashish Nehra : Ashish Nehra will be leading the Indian pace attack. After a long gap, he has made a superb comeback in international cricket. He has a lot of experience of playing against Pakistan.

Apart from these, spinner Harbajan Singh is in great touch. Yuvraj Singh's absence will be a great problem for India.

So, the match between India and Pakistan on 26th September will be full of excitement and entertainment. Who do you think can win this match ? Who can be a hero of the match ?

India vs Pakistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2009

After a long gap of more than 14 months, we will see two arch rivals India and Pakistan face to face in international cricket. The group A match of ICC Champions trophy scheduled on 26th September is certainly one of the most awaited matches this year for cricket fans. With no hope of bilateral series for at least 2 years, India vs Pakistan matches will now be rare and these type of tournaments are only the hope of seeing them together.

India and Pakistan last played in Asia cup in June 2008. After Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's visit to India was canceled. So, this match is of great importance for every cricket fan. India - Pakistan matches are different from other cricket matches. Either its Ashes or India vs Australia, no match can surpass the excitement of India vs Pakistan.

I hope that the Champions trophy match will be a very close encounter. Either India wins or Pakistan, the match should not be one sided. It should be really exciting and thrilling. The 2007 World Twenty20 final is one of the most exciting matches I have ever seen and I feel it had every taste which India-Pakistan match is expected to have.

Note the date and time below and be glued to the TV to view India vs Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2009:

India v Pakistan, 6th Match, Group A, ICC Champions Trophy 2009
Date: 26th September 2009
Time: 12:30 GMT, 6:00 PM India and 5:50 PM in Pakistan

India vs New Zealand in Champions trophy warm-up match 2009 - live

Before the start of Champions Trophy, India plays an unofficial ODI match against New Zealand as a practice match. Its the final practice for the Indian team for Champions trophy in which they are regarded as one of the favorites. India had defeated New Zealand heavily in the recent encounter in tri-series. Though India plays a single warm-up match, New Zealand played against the Warriors in which it suffered a heavy defeat.

India vs New Zealand - Champions Trophy Warm-up match 2009
Date: 20th September. Time: 12:30 PM GMT , 6:00 PM Indian time

The match is supposed to be a exciting match. Regular Indian players from the 15-men squad will play in the match. Though its unofficial, it is supposed to provide the full excitement which a ODI match provides. But I don't think the match will be shown live on TV.

I have checked the schedule of Star cricket which broadcasts in India and Supersport which broadcast in South Africa but none are showing the warm-ups. The best way to get live action is from Live commentary and scorecards from the Internet. Just go to cricinfo for live action.

Compaq Cup Final Live - India Vs Sri Lanka 2009

Sri Lanka and India will play in the final of Sri Lanka tri-series 2009. Both the team outplayed the third team New Zealand in their matches. In the last match, Sri Lanka defeated India by a huge margin of over 130. India are struggling with the bat with no batsman able to lead the innings. Bowling from spinners have been great. Sri Lanka has the power of seamers. Matthews, Malinga and Thusara have played beautifully. Jayasuriya, Samaraweera and Kandamby have been brilliant with the bat.

India vs Sri Lanka - Compaq cup final -2009
Date: 14th September 2009, Time: 14:30 (local and Indian time), 9:00 (GMT)

India started the series with a roar winning New Zealand easily and getting no.1 position in ODI rankings. But everything was washed with the loss against Sri Lanka. Neither batting nor the bowling was satisfactory. Indian team which was very disciplined against New Zealand was throwing a lot of extras. Bowling must be very tight to win the match.

India moves to no.1 in ICC ODI rankings

After defeating he New Zealand in Compaq cup, India has become he no.1 team in ICC ODI rankings. This is the first time, India has become no.1 in the ODI rankings. Before this South Africa was in no.1 who now moves to no.2. After India being the no.1 team, India is the third team to top the ODI rankings after Australia and South Africa since the system of rankings started in 2001.

In order to remain the no.1 spot, India needs to win both the upcoming matches of he series which are both against Sri Lanka.

India vs Sri Lanka 2009 - Live in Compaq cup tri series

Both India and Sri Lanka defeated New Zealand and have reached he finals. But a match between India and Sri Lanka will be held before the final on 12th September. Both the teams were superb in the bowling. The battle of the fast bowlers is vital for the match. Nehra is in superb touch for India while Malinga is the key bowler for Sri Lanka.


We have seen problems with batting in both matches. Sri Lanka was rescued by Samaraweera and Matthews against New Zealand while India too lost 4 wickets early. Both team should look to protect their wickets. India looking for genuine openers can have some problems with the top order. But Sachin showed good batting against NZ. Jayasuriya in recent days in not in great touch but once he gets going, it will be highly entertaining to watch him.

For India to retain the top ODI position, they must win his match.
