CRICKET - T20 current team is ready to play anywhere in the world: Dhoni

Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels the current team is a "balanced" team, which can

"Take any team anywhere in the world," at least in the shortest format of the game after his ninth win out of 10 games he said.

"Well, if you see, more often than not, the team that we played with (this year T20) looks like a team that can play in any condition, especially in this format. We will not talk about 50-over format. But in T20, we can play with this team anywhere in the world, "Dhoni said after India crushed UAE for 9 wickets in the Asia cup last night.

"We now have three appropriate seamers, two spinners and if necessary a part-time I think it's the right combination And even if you go for some additional races, with the batting we have -.. To No 8, I think we can look for you get those extra races if scores opposition against us. So I think this team is ready to play in any condition, if you are playing in India or outside India. it looks like a very balanced team. "

Dhoni was in very good mood when a scribe of Bangladesh made a long and wordy question with the basic intention of trying to find out if this is the last time the pattern in limited playing off in this country.

"No I'm going to get rid of me so soon. Bangladesh will have to face me more often. This is an occasion when the question was longer than the answer," smiled as everyone in the conference room had a good laugh.

In a more serious tone, Dhoni said he expects the final to be tough as Bangladesh knows the conditions.

"As I said, any good team if they are the home team, who always know the conditions well. So to beat a home team is always difficult. Also Bangladesh in recent years has developed a lot. They have improved their strength. They know the condition well, as I said. it will be a good ending.

"A lot depends on which team plays better cricket. This format of the difference between the two teams can often be a stroke, an individual having a very good day or a fungus that has a very good day. The difference between a good team and not so good team can be only one performance in that particular day. so I feel it will be a very good final, "Dhoni evaluated.

Dhoni feels that they will have to stop the big-hitters in the Bangladesh team and should not allow any bowler in particular to take an exceptional day.

"In this format, what has happened does not really matter.It depends on that particular day as to what will happen. You have to keep the big hit of the game. You have to make sure that one of the players bowling is not an exceptional day. The field is set for a very good ending. "
