South Africa will host the first Twenty20 world cup tournament. The tournament will start on 11 September. As a home team, South Africa will definitely have some additional advantages in Twenty20 world cup. South Africa could win the world cup this year as they lost to Australia in the semi final. So, they will be inspired to win the Twenty20 world cup at home soil.

The players are:

Graeme Smith (c), Gulam Bodi, Loots Bosman, Mark Boucher (wk), AB de Villiers, Jean-Paul Duminy, Herschelle Gibbs, Justin Kemp, Albie Morkel, Morne Morkel, Makhaya Ntini, Vernon Philander, Shaun Pollock, Thandi Tshabalala, Johan van der Wath

In Twenty20, a team needs some big hitters who can score quickly. South Africa has some big hitters like Herschelle Gibbs, Justin Kemp, Captain Graeme Smithm and Shaun Pollock. I want to make you remember that Herschelle Gibbs became the first international players who hit six 6s in an over during the last world cup cricket. So, South African fans are now expecting some big hits from Herschelle Gibbs during the Twenty20 world cup 2007. South Africa will play in Group A along with Bangladesh and West Indies. I think South Africa has better chance than many other favorites to win the Twenty20 World Championship 2007.
