It all in progress in the World T20 2010 in the Caribbean, when England beat the defensive champions Pakistan in the primary Super Eights game they had played at Bridgetown, Barbados which went on to become the team’s fortress as the contest progressed additional. The team had won earlier next to the hosts West Indies but their group match against Ireland was wash out, so the win next to Pakistan cannot be careful a successive one, but the first of the lot by means of Kevin Pietersen start a magnificent sprint of form with this competition. He shattered an unbeaten 73 off just 52 balls to direct England’s run pursue of 151 as they prevail by 6 wickets.

The next match was next to South Africa at the similar venue, this life form a key clash for England to triumph in. England won the throw and chose to bat first in a astonishing decision, but Pietersen hit one more fifty, this time off just 33 balls as his labors were back well by the English bowlers who really twisted up that day to assist beat one of the contest favorites by 39 runs.

The final Super eight game was next to New Zealand at Gros Islet with the team was in such terrific form that any side seem pushovers in front of them. However in this game, due to Pietersen not life form there in the team since he had to fly back home to go to the birth of his son.

Sri Lanka were up next to play and this was the first semifinal of the competition. The Lankans decided to bat first after winning the toss and elected to bat first, but could put up only 128 runs in 20 over’s, with England’s bowling yet again up to the mark. That made the sprint chase simple as Pietersen made merry yet again, hitting an winning 42 off just 26 balls to see England home, counter the threat of Ajantha Mendis and Lasith Malinga very well. The mission was accomplished with four over’s to spare.

England were in the final, but had to get better of their Ashes rivals Australia which made it the marquee clash of the tournament.

So even though England were in first-class form, it was an uphill chore to get the better of the resurgent Kangaroos.

Australia were sent in by England captain Paul Collingwood to bat first. David Hussey’s 59 off 54 balls took Australia to 147/6 in 20 overs, which was a decent achieve but still gettable for England as the pitch was very good for batting.
