The game – the only game – that everyone in India and Pakistan were waiting for is now set. Pakistan meets India in the Semi-Final on Wednesday, March 30, at Mohali in Chandigarh, India. Either India or Pakistan WILL make it to the Final. Which one?
We know which one we want to get to the Final, but which one do you think will? Maybe the poll has lost meaning by now, but since we have been asking this question from the beginning of the World Cup (#1, #2, #3) lets keep going. What do you think happens to Pakistan from here onwards:
The progression of ATP opinion has been interesting, but not surprising: In our very first poll (816 responses) as many as 45% had thought Pakistan would not even reach the Semi-Finals, and 26% had thought Pakistan would become World Champion; In our second poll (821 responses) with this same question, only 13% thought Pakistan would be out before the Semi-Finals, and 49% thought Pakistan would become World Champion; In our third and most recent poll (1155 responses) on the subject, 11% felt Pakistan would not even make it to the Semi-Finals and as many as 60% thought Pakistan would become World Champion.
What do you think now. India vs. Pakistan, and maybe beyond. Where does Pakistan go in this Cricket World Cup 2011 from here?
Well actually on current form i would say pakistan hold they edge(being an indian myself) but having said that pakistan can be unpredictable.India need to see of umar gul and shahid afridi and if they can do that india culd get 270 which is a huge task chasing under lights at mohali especially consedering the movement and bounce that wicket has(mohali is known for that).if i were pakistan i wuld want to bat first get a huge total on board and put the home team under pressure.both sides fielding will be important as they both have the batting power.the side which do little things well and the one man who stands up to be counted on that day culd well guide his team to a final
Mission Impossible: Pakistan in Mohali
Would need very big effort for many players
Indians have always remained a hostile crowd so it should not be an excuse for the Pakistani players. Pressure will be on India, not on Pakistan. Pakistan has lost every WC fixture with India and perhaps it is time to turn the tables around. It should be a very relaxing match for Pakistani players as they will be considered underdogs. They have the ability to demolish Indian team provided they stay united and fight tooth and nail.
pakistan is gonna break the record of indian team’s continous win.,.,.insha allah..,.,.
Pakistan Vs India in wc semi final…It can’t get better.. It can’t get worse..
