ICC Under-19 World Cup 2012: India vs New Zealand Live | Semi Final

India will be taking on New Zealand in the 2nd Semi Final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup at the Tony Ireland Stadium in Australia on Thursday.

Both India and New Zealand are coming off close wins in their Quarter Final clashes and this match too would be one to watch out as both teams are evenly balanced.

New Zealand have won the toss and decided to put India in to bat first. New Zealand have got a strong batting line up and no one could doubt it after they chased 238 in the previous match coming from behind. The leg spinner Isa Sodhi would be bowler to watch out for.

India on the other hand have had a stop-start tournament so far. They have made situations out of nothing and their lower middle order is constantly failing, which is a reason to worry. The top 3 will have to bat most of the overs to get to a decent score.

SLPL: Uthura Rudras vs Basnahira Cricket Dundee Live

Uthura Rudras will be taking on the Basnahira Cricket Dundee in Match No.15 of the Sri Lanka Premierr League on Tuesday. The match will be played at the Pallekele International Stadium in Kandy. The match is scheduled to start at 8 pm Local Time.

Tillekeratne Dilshan will be leading the Basnahira Cricket Dundee. Basnahira have got an inexperienced batting line up but their bowling attack certainly cancels out this weakness. They have got Rangana Herath and Nuwan Pradeep who are very useful in these conditions. Jeewan Mendis will be vital both with the bat and the ball for Basnahira.

The Uthura Rudras will be led by Jehan Mubarak. They have got a few good batsmen in the top order like Imran Farhat and Brendan Taylor. Taylor is yet to fire in the SLPL and today might be his day. The trump card for Uthura Rudras is going to be Muttiah Muralidharan. The wily off-spinner is a tough man to get after and it is going to be very difficult for Basnahira to score against him.
