wht is panvathi?

Struck me later that replacing n with r gives Parvathi. So when Parvathi Devi does panvathi, it simply turns into a blessing. For a Devi can only wish good things.

Devi ji, aap mahaan hai.

these Bangladesh wickets suit spinners. Ashwin is the world class bowler…he is a wicket taker. 3 wickets today in three consecutive overs for 11…that’s very impressive record. today, Mishra had a hard day…on Sun day, he will be at his best. iA

India will, iA:
**
SPIN to WIN! **

Senanayake and Herath seems much better bowler than any of Indian slow/spin bowlers in T20 type games … be that in terms of averages or economy. In T20, Ashwin is worse bowler than Senanayake or Hearth in every way. Here are records of T20 for relevant bowlers.

Anyhow, I am not saying that SL would win just because they have better bowlers. What I believe is that SL would win because they have better balanced team. Even when it comes to batting, SL is not too far behind India. Sangakara and Jayawardene, with test averages above 50 and long experience, are easily better proven batsmen then any Indian batsmen playing (Sangakara is probably the best batsman subcontinent has ever produced).

India has no comparable fast bowlers in the team too. It also seems India is relying on part time bowlers like Jadeja and Raina to fulfill bowling quotas (as one bowler cannot bowl more than 4 overs), that could backfire anytime.

Still, one cannot write off India chance of winning the final. In my opinion (and estimate) there is more chances that SL would win than India. I think there is 60 percentage chances that SL would win, that is all. Till now, my estimates are proving right. Even before tournament started, I was expecting that final would be between India and SL. You can check it here #491](http://www.paklinks.com/gs/cricketnama/637791-t20-world-cup-2014-a-28.html#post9978817)

But then, my estimate could be wrong. You can believe differently and there is no problem in that.

That he was.

I still have full confidence Nohit will reclaim his hard fought title in the Finals.

spectacular batting by India… great show of temperament - lesson: you can still make 6 - 8 runs every over without hitting boundaries, even when you have a big score to chase… you can unleash near the end.
this is how you handle pressure! lots to learn for Pakistan.

Well Done India :k: :k: … thoroughly deserved entry into the finals.

also never ceases to amaze me how gracious South Africa is in their defeat… their captains always appreciate the performance of the opponents. This is very rare… most teams just talk about their own weaknesses but not the strengths of their opponents. South Africa epitomize true sportsmaship… competitive on the field… humble in victory… gracious in defeat.

Just proves that T20 is not only about big hitting.

173 was by no means a small target and India never looked in trouble chasing such a big total. This was one clinical display with the bat.

Pak batsmen are generally poor at rotating the strike and they start panicking as soon as the RRR starts climbing and because most of them are stroke players and not very good at taking singles and twos they try to go for boundaries or risky brainless shots (like 4 batsmen getting stumped v WI) and often lose their way in the process.

Pak batsmen need to study how Indian batsmen bat in pressure situations and esp. while chasing.
