Re: T-20 Worldcup Matches Thread

Ponting bowled by Mendis.

Mendis T20I average is 4.53 :eek:
he has taken 13 wickets so far and his strike rate is 6.4 and economy rate is 4.2.

Are Australia heading for an early exit too?

140-150 won't be enough IMO

Australia 129/6 after 18 overs

160 is probably what they' re looking for
