It will be a super war between the two sub-continent giants in the World Cup Semi Final that will be played on Wednesday. India and Pakistan, both of them will do anything to win this game,mark my words: absolutely anything. And why not they should be ? This is the greatest ever contest in the game of cricket which we all will love to see and win without any questions or excuses.
Ian Chappell has predicted that India will beat Pakistan because of the calm leadership of Mr.Dhoni, and this actually made me laugh, I mean who plays India Pakistan World Cup Semi Final on Indian ground with calmness? When both the nations are hungry to beat down each other, when the streets of Mumbai and Karachi will look more empty than a holiday , can you actually imagine the team with the calm captain will win?? With so much pressure and risk of life (yes it is!) nobody can win a game of India vs Pakistan except the one who is lion-hearted and courageous enough to take some OUT OF THE BOX decisions for his team.
Let's sum up 5 basic points which I think most of the readers will agree to me gives an edge to Pakistan cricket team over India for this mega war at Mohali on 30th March,2011.
1. Afridi Is A Leading & Performing Captain
Okay let's be a little realistic about this whole India Pakistan situation for the Semi Final. The most important thing which matters in a TEAM WORK is how your captain is working out in the field, no doubt, Ms Dhoni is a better and experienced captain than Afridi, but the way Shahid Afridi is leading his team from the front in this tournament, it is inspirational for the whole young Pakistan team. He is the leading wicket taker of the tournament with 21 wickets in his hand and he is just lacking with 6 wickets to beat the Glenn McGrath record of the Most Wickets taken in a World Cup which he made in World Cup 2007 with his unbeaten 26 wickets throughout the tournament. So this is the most important fact in any team's win that how is the leader performing, Ms Dhoni has not been upto mark with his performance as a player in Indian side and this do affect the overall moral of the team. Trust me !
