Umar Gul impressed as usual and will continue his form. Sohail Tanvir after being the top wicket taker at the IPL failed to impress in the Kitply Cup, so he will be wanting to show his true abilities.
Hong Kong: They will be here for sight seeing more than anything else. That's really all that I can say.
Prediction: Last in Group B
Key Player: Will not really matter and anyway I don't think any of us know even one player from the Hong Kong team, but I will mention a name who might just impress, Courtney Kruger.
India: We all thought with Sachin injured, India won't look too good but they played superbly at the Kitply Cup and Dhoni's boys proved that young is in. The favourites of the tournament, without a doubt. Will reach the finals unless they do something terribly wrong and that has not been India's habit lately.
Prediction: Winners
Key Players: So many have performed in the Kitply Cup and in the CB series, but the pick of the performers was Gautam Gambhir. He has shown that he can bat forever without stopping and has firmly cemented his place in the Indian team.
Virender Sehwag along with Gambhir demolished bowlers in the IPL and the Kitply Cup and it does not look like they won't continue. Praveen Kumar has shown that pace is not required to pick up wickets, and he picks those regularly. Piyush Chawla is the next big spinner for India and I expect him to play at his best.
So that's how it stands for me. It's India vs. Pakistan at Karachi.
