T20 World Cup

Australian batsman David Warner expressed his feeling for his Daredevils’ team-mate Virender Sehwag. He said, “Sehwag is the best Twenty20 batsman”.

“In terms of batsman in T20 it is hard to go past Sehwag when he gets going, but there are so many good players going around,” Fox Sports quoted Warner, as saying.

However, sehwag was the top list of run-scorers for Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League season three. He gave a remarkable performance by scoring 346 runs at 25.42 from 14 games.

Unfortunately, he will no longer be a part of the game – Twenty20 World Cup in the West Indies as he his shoulder is badly injured.

Warner says, Australia is a strong contender to win the tournament, and he reckons teams from the sub-continent, including India, will be the biggest dangers.

“The sub-continent teams are obviously tough because the wickets tend to be slow and low here. Obviously we need to just get through our group and then we play either India or Sri Lanka I think so the sub-connent teams look like they will be our biggest challenge,” Warner said.

The 23-year-old has been in remarkable form ahead of the tournament, and scored his second successive half-century to guide Australia to a thumping 101 run victory against Windward Islands in their final warm-up match.

He goes into Australia’s Group A clash with Pakistan on Sunday in top form after blasting 72 from 49 balls in Tuesday’s one-run loss to Zimbabwe.
