Pakistan VS India Semi Final In Mohali 2011
India won their Quarter final fixture against Australia and now they will face traditional rivals Pakistan in the semi final.
I always wanted a semi final clash between Pakistan and India and my wish has come true, there was no other possible matchup in this tournament which could have elevated the excitement level of this tournament than a semi final clash between India and Pakistan.
One country will get all the joy and the bragging rights the other will be left in sheer agony and completely heart broken. The fans need assurances and reassurances that their team won’t disappoint them, this week will be the most nerve wrecking week for the fans in both countries, defeat is not an option for either side, as nothing hurts more than losing to your traditional foe and nothing will be more joyous than knocking out your traditional foe out of the competetion, perhaps the joy would be even more than lifting the trophy.
It would be a final game before the final. This match is not for the faint hearted, people will get heart attacks, television screens will be shattered, effigies of the players will be burned their houses will get attacked careers of some of the players on the losing side will end abruptly.
And those who will end up victorious will get showered with all kinds of gifts and accolades, their will be endless parties winning this match will tantamount to winning a war.
The players on both teams are aware of these facts and the team which will hold on to it’s nerves will win the match.
Both teams are high on confidence, India has a home advantage and will be backed by a huge crowd but at the same time the expectations of the home crowd will put enormous pressure on their team.
Pakistan has a huge disadvantage as this match would be their first match in India, the conditions in India and SriLanka are quite different, the low bounce and slow pace of the tracks will make their pacers struggle so the burden will have to be picked up by their spinners and the chances of victory largely depend on how well they change their game plan according to the conditions in India. It’s a win or go home situation there is no margin of error for either team. The conditions in India won’t be alltogether alien for Pakistan as they play on similar conditions at home the only challenge will be how quickly their bowlers adjust their game.
If the bowlers will get a set back the batsmen will get a boost as the weak Indian bowling and the flat tracks in India should be mouth watering for them.
Indian team will also face a stiff challenge as for the first time in the tournament they will face a team which plays spin as good as them and possesses a very potent bowling attack.
The past record is heavily in favor of India, Pakistan is yet to beat India in a world cup match.
For India Sachin, Yuvraj and Zaheer Khan are in great form.
For Pakistan there is nobody in their batting line up who stands out they have depth in their batting and so far in every match it’s a different hero who stood up. Umar Gul, Afridi, Ajmal and Hafeez are the players to watch for India.
It’s going to be a great contest at the end of the day the team which will play better cricket will win.
