The ICC World Twenty20 winner of the 2007, India had a fine start to the tournament and easily entered to the super 8s of T20 World Cup 2009. India will play its first Super Eight match against the West Indies in Group E. Group E consists of South Africa and England. The first match of Group E was between England and South Africa, where SA had a comprehensive victory over the host. The second match on the Group E is scheduled as:
Ind V WI - Group E
June 12, Friday 2009
Lord's, London
Starts 17:30 local, 12:30 GMT, 22:00 India

India had a easily first round group which consists the Bangladesh and Ireland. They were able to get all 4-points from the matches played. They are yet to clash against the big nations in this year's ICC World Twenty20. India also had decent match against those teams. Youngsters did a very fine job.

West Indies a memorable start to the tournament in England where they defeated the Australians by a huge margin. The ideal start what the team would have wanted. West Indies had to lose its both matches in 2007 T20 World Cup and was sent back to the home before the Super Eights. This time the lights of Chris Gayle is expected to make the team more further.

Indian Team:
News from the center is that Virender Sehwag is unavailabe for the further matches in the series. This is a great lowdown for the Indian team. Dinesh Karthik will be replacing Virender Sehwag. The team instead looks very much brilliant. Many new youngsters to the side and they are performing very well. Rohit Sharma is in great touch and Pragyan Ojha is the leading wicket-taker for them.

Apart from R Sharma, Gautam Gambhir is also giving a great start to the team. The IPL campaign seems to be doing great for the team. Suresh Raina is another youngster who is in great form. Any of this top order youngsters again fires then the team will have very great start in batting. Talking about the Dhoni's recent form, he is the one who is going a side from the track. No one is unaware if his capabilities and when he fires then it gives great chance of victory. Yusuf Pathan, having yet another brilliant IPL didn't had a lot to do in the group stage but now the scenario is different, and he also should perform well.

Pragyan Ojha is doing great job with his spin attack and should continue to more ranked teams in Group E. Pace attack lead by Zaheer Khan is well supported by Ishant Sharma and RP Singh. Irfan Pathan also might be there in the squad. But the important topic is that how the opening bowler will react against the Chris Gayle after seeing his last match. They will surely watch the video many times before bowling to him.

West Indies Team:
First talking matter is the captain Chris Gayle. No suprisement if he again holds the Indian as they did again t the Australian last time. Gayle missed the match against Lanka and the team seemed to be different than they were against the Australians. Important thing is that along with his captaincy, his team really requires the allround performance from him.

Some experienced name in the squad like Sarwan and Chanderpaul should hold on the middle-order. Big all-rounders and hitters like Marshall, Fletcher, Kieron Pollard and the veteran Dwaryne Bravo. Great names in the paper and sould act themselves great from their match action.

Bowling attack in the start was the main dfference in the win and lost in the 1st round of ICC T20 2009. The opening attack from Taylor and Fidel Edwards will be important term. If they can get couple or more success in the early overs than the match will be in different feel. Chris Gayle and Suliemen Benn should hold on the spin attack in the middle overs. Bravo's accuracy and slow bowl in the end overs seems to be important aspect for the team.

All together both the teams seems to be in contender for the victory but the victory will be for those who will perform well. The match is very important match and will be release enormous amount of pressure for the fight for the place in semi-final.
