Cricket fans around the world are focused to ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 when Pakistan meets India in the World Cup second semi-final on 30 March, 2011 in Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali. Cricket gurus have done all the analysis on who could be victorious in Mohali including Prasna Astrology.
But history in World Cup cricket showed that estranged neighbours India and Pakistan met for the fourth time in which Pakistan didn't win even once; faltering in 1992, 1996, 1999 and the latest in 2003.
Pakistan Shahid AfridiShahid Afridi is confident of turning the tables this time, “India maybe the world’s best team but we are capable of beating them,” he said.
India lead by Yuvraj SinghYuvraj Singh, Sachin TendulkarSachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag have a slight advantage in the batting department as most of their top order batsmen have been producing highest in runs. When India beat Australia on Thursday, one could conclude that India has sharper tools to triumph over Pakistan in the semi-final on Wednesday.
There's one more thing that poses threath to India, aside from Umar GulUmar Gul and Shahid Afridi that is dangerous fast bowler Shoaib AkhtarShoaib Akhtar of Pakistan. Wasim AkramWasim Akram, the world fastest bowler, told the press, the need to play Shoaib Akhtar in the Semi-Final clash of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 between Pakistan and India at Mohali on Wednesday. “Shoaib against the Indians is always very dangerous. I know it is a big risk, but luck favours the brave. Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag are top-class players but against Shoaib it’s a different duel altogether. He is an entertainer and he loves the big stage,” said Akram.
I'm not a guru but the Pakistan vs India prediction is very hard to call, it could be close either team can win.
Final Prediction: India has 52% of winning compared to 48% of Pakistan.
