WC T20 : Pakistan

Defending champions West Indies have slipped to sixth in the ICC Twenty20 rankings since the previous World T20.

The runners-up in 2012, Sri Lanka :

have been the most consistent team in the format since,

and are ranked No. 1. 

Sri Lanka have been the most successful with a win-loss ratio of 2.66 during this period.The won 8 out of 11 games !

Pakistan have the next best win-loss ratio - 1.80 - having won 9 of their 14 games.

Pakistan have been the most successful team :

having got to the last four in every World T20.

Shabash !  ::LOL::

If conditions for the qualifying matches in Bangladesh were anything to go by, dew is likely to impact

the evening games in this World T20.

However, the slow and dry tracks will help spinners when dew is not a factor.

Teams with good spin attacks are likely to hold an edge -

an area where the subcontinent teams and West Indies might score over other teams.

Overall, spinners bowl an average of 4.3 overs more in matches in Asia :

than they do at other venues (excluding West Indies)

Leading the bowling charts :

Lasith Malinga's 33 wickets at 19.78 in the World T20.

Ajantha Mendis has been excellent in World T20s, with 31 wickets at 13.48 and an economy of 6.14.

The presence of three Pakistan bowlers in the top five shows why they have done well in World T20s. 

Saeed Ajmal's 32 wickets have come at 15.46 and an economy rate of 6.65.

Shahid Afridi and Umar Gul are the other Pakistan bowlers to complete the top five.

Pakistan have been the most consistent team in the World T20, having made it to the semi-finals in all previous tournaments

                                           

8 TO 11 works out to be 1 to something? how is that ratio worked out?

well they are the the biggest chokers

Afridi did NOT choke on dat Ball  :-[
