Watch Live Streaming first match between South Africa vs Sri Lanka in the Champions Trophy 2009. South Africa takes on sri lanka in the first opener which is broadcast by star cricket.

South Africa vs Sri Lanka Live Streaming

we have potentially the best event organised by the ICC in a long while. Not entirely by design, though: there was no window for a longer tournament, there isn't even a reserve day for the final. So there was no space for flab or Super Sixes or Eights or whatever. Although Bangladesh can argue they had a better case than West Indies, few could have envisaged the political turmoil in the Caribbean when the tournament was being drawn up. As a result the preliminary groups are neither meaningless cakewalks nor so fickle that one freak loss ends the tournament for a team.

Throw in the fact that the top three teams are so close to each other, the No. 1 ranking is likely to change hands more often in this tournament than the baton in a relay race. So good on the ODIs, which do with this shot in the arm.

It helps that South Africa has been the setting for memorable starts to world events. In the first match of the 2003 World Cup, Brian Lara's century helped West Indies beat South Africa by three runs in a tense finish. Four years later the ICC went to South Africa unsure if the World Twenty20 would be accepted by the audience. The same two teams, in 37.4 overs, hit all such trepidations out of the Wanderers. The possibility of an exact repeat has been ruled out by the draw, which pits Sri Lanka opening the tournament against the hosts, but a similar start is needed.

Both players in the act on Tuesday run the risk of becoming perennial best men: both have been consistent limited-overs teams for large parts of last 15 years, but only two players in each team have tasted success in an ICC event: Sanath Jayasuriya and Muttiah Muralitharan won the 1996 World Cup, and Mark Boucher and Jacques Kallis won the inaugural Champions Trophy in 1998.

Since then South Africa have lost two World Cup semi-finals, one World Twenty20 semi-final, and three Champions Trophy semi-finals. Sri Lanka haven't been that consistent, but they too have lost a World Cup final and semi-final each, a World Twenty20 final, and shared a Champions Trophy final.

Not much has changed on that front: this is another best chance for South Africa to shrug off the chokers' tag, and although Sri Lanka are not starting off as favourites it would be folly to underestimate them. So let the nearly men kick the nearly tournament off.

The World Champions of ODI format Australia will take on Caribbean in the third match of ICC World Twenty20 here at Kennington Oval.

Aussies are eying to create history after winning this year's T20 World Cup. If they clinch the title they will be Champions in all the formats.

On the other hand, Chris Gayle-led West Indies are rated underdog in this mega event but the former World Champs have the ability to beat any side in the world.

However, Australia received a jolt just before the starting of the tournament as its one of the important all-rounder Andrew Symonds was sent back home after found guilty of breaching team discipline.

Baggy Green have good combination of young and senior players. They have several devastating players like David Warner, Michael Clarke, Mike Hussey, Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin. Aussies have also best bowling attack led by Brett Lee. Lee is ably supported by Mitchel Johnson and Nathan Breaken.

Apart from this, West Indies team is also looking very strong on the paper. They have Gayle as an experienced campaigner while Ramnaresh Sarwan and Shivnarain Chanderpaul will support the team in the middle order.

Gayle had slammed first ton of inaugural Twenty20 World Cup against South Africa.

Australia

vs

South Africa

Match: Cricket

Whether it was ring-rust from the five-day break or a general failure to make the transition from the Tests, the Australians were largely underwhelming at the Wanderers. If not for the all-round efforts of David Hussey, the tourists might well have expected a hiding, rather than the tense four-wicket loss.

Australia's batting looked suspect, with Michael Clarke, Ricky Ponting and Brad Haddin unable to make a significant impact on the scoring rate and eventually gifting their wickets away. The decision to bowl Shane Harwood and Brett Geeves - with one Twenty20 international between them - in the final two overs appeared more curious with each boundary, as South Africa sealed victory with four balls to spare

Watch Australia vs South Africa 3rd Test Live Streaming & Highlights

3rd Test v South Africa at Cape Town - Mar 19-23, 2009
Match scheduled to begin at 10:30 local time (08:30 GMT).

Australia

vs

South Africa

The series is decided and the Cape Town Test has become a dead rubber but for several individuals there is still plenty to play for. The Australians in particular will be keen to keep up their strong form ahead of their next Test appointment. The Ashes begin in July and with the likelihood that established players such as Stuart Clark, Brett Lee and Andrew Symonds will be available for selection, the newer faces in the squad will be desperate to push their cases for spots on the tour. Men like Ben Hilfenhaus and Marcus North have all but booked their places for the England trip and a strong performance in Cape Town would cap off their auditions.
