England and the West Indies will battle to become the first two-time winners of the World Twenty20 in Sundays mouth-watering final at Kolkatas Eden Gardens. For England, reaching the final has been a remarkable achievement, given some woeful white-ball performances in the last few years.They were dumped out of the 50-over World Cup in the pool phase last year, the lowlight a meek surrender to Bangladesh, and there was great embarrassment in the 2014 World T20, when they lost to the Netherlands.This tournament has been a rollercoaster ride. Destroyed by the Windies - and Chris Gayle in particular - in the opening game, they then had to pull off a world record run chase of 230 in their second match to beat South Africa and stay in the tournament.From the sublime, they slumped to the ridiculous against Afghanistan, collapsing to 57-6 against the tournament minnows, before Englands bowlers bailed the batsmen out.But their victories against Sri Lanka and, in the semi-final, against New Zealand, were masterclasses in T20 international cricket, with brutal power-hitting from Jason Roy, Joe Root and Jos Buttler and nerveless death bowling from Ben Stokes and Chris Jordan. England will continue to play attacking cricket no matter what, says Joe Root No team has hit more sixes than Englands 34 in the tournament - a marked contrast to last years 50-over World Cup when they rarely cleared the ropes. Stokes and Jordan go full and fast, often well wide of off stump, and have enjoyed considerable success so far.But David Willey might be a key man in the final. The ball should swing in the humid conditions and he will be looking to get the ball moving against Gayle - who rarely moves his feet - in particular. Rob Key and Nasser Hussain take a look at the pitch ahead of the ICC World T20 final Roy, one of the stars of the new-look England, promised they would come at their opponents with all guns blazing and continue in the same aggressive vein that has confounded their old conservative reputation.Its going to be an incredible experience but we are going to play our natural way and the brand of cricket we have been playing for the last year or so, said the Surrey star.The Windies spoiled Indias party by knocking the hosts out in the semi-finals, but their journey to the final has proven that they are not reliant on Gayle - or Universe Boss as he called himself after carting England all over Mumbai. Chris Gayles brutal innings destroyed England in Mumbai Since Gayles thunderous 100no - off just 48 balls - against England, he has chipped in with just nine runs, and it has been unsung heroes - Jonathan Charles, Lendl Simmons and Andre Russell - who have powered them into Sundays showpiece.England will certainly be aware that it is certainly not a one-man show in this team, Simmons said after his match-winning innings against India. Lendl Simmons unbeaten 82 off 51 balls helped West Indies beat India The West Indies love playing England - they have won nine of the 13 T20 international clashes between the two teams, and all four meetings at the World Twenty20.There will be 66,000 in Eden Gardens, one of the worlds great cricketing cathedrals, so experience will count and the Windies have a serious edge there too. Eight of the team which won the 2012 tournament are likely to play in the final, while only Eoin Morgan survives from the England team which won in 2010.But, as Sky Sports expert Nasser Hussain says, this young England are a side who dont fear anyone.

Arsenal seems to be in turmoil after a Premier League opening day loss fueled fans fury at the cash-rich clubs failure to sign big-name off-season targets. "I believe our season will depend on how we respond to this defeat," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Saturday after a 3-1 loss to Aston Villa on Saturday provoked hostile boos at Emirates Stadium. Fenerbahce hosts Arsenal in Istanbul only hours after its lawyers begin a two-day court hearing in Switzerland to challenge its expulsion from the Champions League by UEFA in a long-running, domestic match-fixing case. UEFA agreed to let Fenerbahce play while the appeal proceeds. The Court of Arbitration for Sports verdict -- promised next week after the return match in London -- could yet decide which team advances to the lucrative group stage, and collects 15-25 million-plus euros ($20-$33 million) in UEFA prize money. Like Arsenal, AC Milan regards a place in the Champions League group stage as key to its image and finances. The seven-time European champion begins its season Tuesday away to PSV Eindhoven, the 1988 European Cup winner which has already reeled off three wins to sit atop the Dutch league. Zenit St. Petersburg offers a tricky debut for Champions League newcomer Pacos de Ferreira, which hosts the first leg in Portugal on Tuesday. Also Tuesday, Celtic has made the six hour-plus flight to face Kazakhstan champion Shakhter Karagandy, Lyon hosts Real Sociedad and Viktoria Plzen hosts Maribor. Wednesdays five-match lineup includes: Dinamo Zagreb vs. Austria Vienna, Steaua Bucharest vs. Legia Warsaw and Ludogorets Razgrad vs. Basel. Schalke hosts PAOK Thessaloniki, which was reinstated by UEFA last week. PAOK previously lost to Metalist Kharkiv, which was later expelled when a 2008 match-fixing case was resolved this month. Despite two legal defeats at CAS already, Metalist seeks another ruling from Lausanne by midday Tuesday (1000 GMT) to get back into the competition "on the basis of alleged new evidence," the court said Monday. Threee of the 10 playoff pairings have been affected by UEFA match-fixing investigations since current champion Bayern Munich beat German rival Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in May.dddddddddddd Fenerbahces case has the greatest potential for drama. The club, UEFA and CAS could not process its challenge to a two-season ban from European competitions before the matches against Arsenal. During an off-season legal saga, Fenerbahce forward Dirk Kuyt wrote to UEFA on behalf of the players. Kuyt said they had "a lot of questions" about the punishment dating back to matches allegedly fixed in the 2010-11 Turkish season. "This is not even proven that we are guilty," wrote Kuyt, whose club president was among several officials convicted in a criminal trial. They deny wrongdoing and have appealed. Injury-hit Arsenal knows it could lose over two legs and still earn a 16th straight season in the group stage -- though Salzburg, Fenerbahces beaten opponent in the previous qualifying round, could also seek reinstatement. England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is the latest Gunners casualty, seriously injuring his knee Saturday to join defenders Thomas Vermaelen and Nacho Monreal, plus midfielders Mikel Arteta and Abou Diaby on the sidelines. Milan, which begins in Serie A at Verona on Saturday, has played only friendlies ahead of facing match-fit PSV, now coached by former Netherlands midfielder Phillip Cocu. Schalke lost Dutch forward Klaas-Jan Huntelaar to a knee ligament injury in its 4-0 loss at Wolfsburg on Saturday. The revised fixture with PAOK brings the Greek clubs coach Huub Stevens back to Schalke, where he won the UEFA Cup in 1997 and at which a second spell in charge ended last December. Romanian champion Steaua, the 1986 European Cup winner, hosts Legia while club president Gigi Becali serves prison time for financial wrongdoing. In June, UEFA weighed allegations that Becali tried to pay bribes to influence a 2008 league match, and deferred Steauas one-year suspension for a five-year probation period. The 10 playoff winners join 22 elite teams that qualified directly for the lucrative group stage. The draw is made Aug. 29 in Monaco. ' ' '
