ICC world cup finalist Sri Lanka is one of the favorites to win the Twenty20 world cup 2007 title. They will play in Group C along with another favorite New Zealand and Kenya. Sri Lanka is the winner of 1996 ICC world cup. Now, Sri Lanka will try to show their talent in Twenty20 world cup as well. Sri Lanka twenty20 squad is a combination of both young and experienced cricketers. So, I think, Sri Lanka is a balanced team. Opener Sanath Jayasuriya, Kumara Sangakkara and Chamara Silva are expected to play well in the tournament.

New Zealand was the semi finalist of last ICC world cup. So, New Zealand cricket team will definitely try to do something better in the forthcoming Twenty20 world cup 2007. They have some big hitters including Peter Fulton, Jacob Oram, Craig McMillan, Brendon McCullum and Scott Styris. Especially Scott Styris is now in good form. So, New Zealand fans are now hoping to see some lofted shots from their key players during the Twenty20 world cup 2007.

No doubt, Kenya is the underdog team in Group C. I do not see any chance for Kenya to reach at the super eight round. Well, I will not get shocked either if Kenya can prove me wrong. Kenya has a history of causing big upsets.
