International Cricket Council (ICC) new rule to review the on field umpire’s decision has raised an unending debate around the world. It has been criticizing vehemently for its diminishing approach towards the status of on-field umpires. 

The 2008-09 cricket season started with the Kitply Cup where Bangladesh hosted its cricketing giant neighbors India and Pakistan. The series came as a breezer for many players of the teams after their hectic T20 schedule. Pakistan seemed determined to better their last performance in the series against India where they lost 3-2. India expected a crackling fresh start to a jam-packed cricketing year ahead. Bangladesh which were never the favourites relied on weather and Duckworth-Lewis for saving grace.

The Kiwis had a remarkable one-day series in England with a comfortable 3-1 victory over the English team. The New Zealand team showed a lot of character to come back in the last three games after loosing the first one and the second ODI being abandoned by the rain. The New Zealanders have shown great performance against the English team last season by beating 6-2 in last ten games away and home.

One of the most spectacular matches in this Asia Cup series was the one where India finally managed to beat Sri Lanka by six wickets in the Super League. The Super League match was all about fours and sixes, which were scored by both the teams. Both the teams are well known on the international cricket scene.
