{acepolls 2}In an attempt to continue following the title cup, Group A winners and 2009 champions England will play two-time runner-up New Zealand in the first semi-final of the ICC Women’s World Twenty20 at R Premadasa Stadium on Thursday.
In Group A, England had beaten Pakistan in its opening match by 43 runs, then India by nine wickets, and, in a big hitting final match of the group stage, successfully chased down Australia’s total of 144 to win by seven wickets, with 11 balls remaining.
New Zealand finished second after losing its opening match to group-winner West Indies by seven wickets. The side bounced back to beat South Africa by 22 runs and then Sri Lanka by eight wickets.
With a top three of Charlotte Edwards – the leading run-scorer in the format – Laura Marsh and Sarah Taylor, England have plenty of batting, while their array of spinners have so far excelled on the slow pitches in Galle. Although occasionally unpredictable, they are also capable playing well in the field. After the disappointment of 2010, when England exited at the group stage, it seems like they are not in the mood of taking any chance. The Likely English lineup will include: 1 Charlotte Edwards (capt), 2 Laura Marsh, 3 Sarah Taylor (wk), 4 Arran Brindle, 5 Lydia Greenway, 6 Danielle Wyatt, 7 Jenny Gunn, 8 Anya Shrubsole, 9 Danielle Hazell, 10 Katherine Brunt, 11 Holly Colvin
For New Zealand, 2012 has not been a good year but two of their three wins have come in their last two matches. Sophie Devine, who opened the bowling and batted at No. 9 in the 2009 final, missed out on a place with New Zealand’s hockey team at the London Olympics but has returned to cricket as an attacking No. 3, while Erin Bermingham is the tournament’s joint-leading wicket-taker, with six. They also recorded the highest score of the group stage, making 151 for 5 against South Africa. tHe probable New Zealand squad will include: 1 Suzie Bates (capt), 2 Amy Satterthwaite, 3 Sophie Devine, 4 Frances Mackay, 5 Sara McGlashan, 6 Nicola Browne, 7 Katie Perkins, 8 Katey Martin (wk), 9 Erin Bermingham, 10 Morna Nielsen, 11 Sian Ruck.
