India has beaten Australia in quarter-finals. It is first time since 1996 that Australia is knocked out from World Cup without playing Final. Now Pakistan and India will be playing mother of all matches in Mohali on 30th March.
It is expected that whoever controls and observe pressure will be victorious in the match. For India, it is more pressure game as they will be playing in the home ground and they will feel more pressure because of home crowd.
India has an upper hand in World Cups as they have defeated Pakistan when ever both teams have met (4 times). But now after endingĀ Australia‘s 34–match unbeaten World Cup streak, Pakistan has a bright chance of changing its record against India in World Cup. In total, Pakistan has played 26 matches against India in India and has won 17 matches and has lost 9.
In Mohali, where semi-final will be played Pakistan has played twice with India and luckily they have won both the matches.
If Pakistan bats first than Afridi XI must put 300 plus score on the board. And if India bats first than 1992 champions should restrict India to 250. If Shoaib Akhtar is fit enough to bowl minimum 6 overs than team management must take chance as he can be dangerous in his bowling and can get early break through.
In 7 hours contest Pakistan has to play aggressive and positive which will ensure that Pakistan will be on the winning side.
