1)
Sanath Vs Hayden
Both hunting for massive boundaries and hence lot of runs expected.
2)
Tharanga Vs Gilli
Yet to see a big one from them.
3)
Sangakkara Vs Hussey
Both are very very potential match winning players but yet to see a big one from them in this WCup.
4)
Jayawardena Vs Ponting
Ponting being bit more aggressive.. Jayawardena has the capability to adjust himself according to what situation demands from him. Both are excellent captains.
5)
Chamara Silva Vs Clarke
Consistent runscorers for their teams... atleast in this WC, they both are good in form.
In batting i dont find any side being low with respect to other. Its an equal contest.
6)
McGrath Vs Vaas
Always spot on in line and length.
7)
Malinga Vs Tait
Malinga gains upper hand as Tait usually struggles a bit atleast in giving extras... both hunting for more and more pace though.
8)
Murali Vs Hogg
No doubt, Its Murali!!!!! Batsmen have to be careful when Murali is in attacking mode. Hogg, he is in good form this WCup.. but i personally do think, Lankans will manage that, as Asian players, in generall are better players of spin than non-Asian players. When Murali is in defensive mode, for sure, atleast 3-4 singles should be available.. which means, batsmen must try to keep him without a wicket no matter if gives 35-40 in his 10 Overs rather than getting out by trying to attack him. Another interesting contest!
hmmmm... Interesting!!! Overall, its going to be an exciting contest considering both the teams are not low by any means with respect to each other and its not a bad day for any of these sides like what SA had in their semis!
