Today in the first semi final of T20 World Cup 2012, spirited Pakistan will take on host Sri Lanka at the R Premadasa Stadium. Pakistan who are high on confidence after the 32 run victory over Australia will be hoping to repeat the performance of 2009 finals where they beated Sri Lanka to lift the trophy.

On the other hand, Sri Lanka has shown tremendous performances so far and will be hoping that today they don’t fumble as now they are just 2 wins away from the Trophy.

Both the teams have quality spinners, Ajantha Mendis for Lanka and Saeed Ajmal for Pakistan. The match will be a real entertainer as despite having very explosive batting line ups, it will actually be the bowlers who will win today’s match.
