The World Twenty20 World Cup is fast approaching with the first game scheduled to take place on the 1st of March at Lord's. This tournament is sure to be a thriller, India are the favourites after their dominance in the tournament's debut last year. But I however feel that this might be South Africa's time to lift the trophy, they are most definitely right up there in all forms of world cricket but I feel with the likes of big hitting Albie Morkel, the lethal fast bowling of Dale Steyn, the leadership of Graeme Smith and Jacques Kallis and let's not forget the almost unstoppable middle order featuring A.B. De Villiers and J.P. Duminy.
Australia however aren't the favourites and had a dissapointing run recently in the Twenty20 format. But with a squad that boasts the likes of Ponting, Clarke, Johnson, Bracken and Symonds you have to think that they can lift this trophy with a squad that promises so much. But I don't think many Australian fan's will be as hopeful as they were with their home team as in the previous years, with the Australian middle order again struggling to counter the spinners in the limited overs formats.
This tournament should be a ripper, whoever comes out on top will have to play out of their skins.
Albie Morkel will play a vital role in South Africa's campaign
